Activity itinerary

Seljalandsfoss
  • 45m
Seljalandsfoss Waterfall Stop As we journey to the ferry for your Vestmannaeyjar private day tour, we’ll make a stop at the breathtaking Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. Cascading from a height of 60 metres (197 feet), this picturesque waterfall offers a unique opportunity to walk behind the flowing curtain of water for a truly unforgettable perspective. Surrounded by lush green cliffs and misty air, it’s a perfect spot to stretch your legs, take stunning photos, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Iceland before heading to the ferry. A magical start to your adventure!
Landeyjahöfn
  • 40m
  • Admission ticket included
Ferry Ride from Landeyjahöfn Your journey continues with a scenic 40-minute ferry ride from Landeyjahöfn to the stunning Vestmannaeyjar islands. As the ferry glides across the waters, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the South Coast, the dramatic cliffs of the archipelago, and, on clear days, the mighty Eyjafjallajökull glacier in the distance. The approach to the islands is truly magical, with the rugged volcanic landscapes and vibrant birdlife hinting at the unique adventure awaiting you. This short but memorable ride is the perfect way to transition from the mainland to the enchanting Vestmannaeyjar.
Eldfell
  • 1h
Eldfell Volcano Eldfell, meaning “Fire Mountain,” is a highlight of your Vestmannaeyjar private day tour and a powerful reminder of Iceland’s volcanic activity. This volcano was formed during a dramatic eruption in 1973 that reshaped Heimaey, the largest island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. The eruption forced the evacuation of the island’s entire population and buried much of the town under lava and ash. Today, you can hike to the summit of Eldfell, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the island, the surrounding sea, and the lava fields left behind. The warm ground beneath your feet, still retaining heat from the eruption, is a striking contrast to the lush greenery that has since returned. Eldfell is not only a geological wonder but also a testament to the resilience of the island’s people and nature’s incredible power.
Heimaey Island
  • 30m
Elephant Rock Elephant Rock is one of Vestmannaeyjar’s most iconic and enchanting natural landmarks, and a must-see on your private day tour. This massive basalt rock formation, shaped remarkably like an elephant dipping its trunk into the sea, is a striking example of nature’s artistry. Located along the rugged cliffs of Heimaey, it’s best viewed from the water, offering an incredible photo opportunity against the backdrop of the island’s dramatic landscapes. Carved by wind and waves over centuries, Elephant Rock is a favourite among visitors and locals alike, blending the raw power of Icelandic geology with a touch of whimsy. It’s a perfect stop to marvel at the unique beauty of Vestmannaeyjar.
Storhofdi (Great Cape)
  • 1h
Stórhöfði Stórhöfði, located on the southern tip of Heimaey in Vestmannaeyjar, is renowned as the windiest place in Europe and a paradise for bird enthusiasts. This dramatic headland offers spectacular panoramic views of the island, surrounding ocean, and, on clear days, distant glaciers on the mainland. Stórhöfði is also a prime location for spotting puffins during the summer months, as it is home to one of the largest puffin colonies in Iceland. A viewing hut allows you to observe these charming birds up close without disturbing their natural habitat. Whether you’re captivated by the incredible birdlife, the rugged cliffs, or the vast seascape, Stórhöfði is a breathtaking and unforgettable stop on your Vestmannaeyjar tour.
Stafkirkjan
  • 45m
Stafkirkjan (Heimaey’s Wooden Church) Stafkirkjan, also known as the Heimaey Stave Church, is a striking and serene stop on your Vestmannaeyjar private day tour. This traditional Norwegian-style stave church was gifted to Iceland by Norway in 2000 to commemorate a millennium of Christianity in Iceland. Nestled in a picturesque setting near Skansinn, the church’s intricate wooden architecture and surrounding lava fields create a captivating contrast between history and nature. The interior is simple yet beautiful, reflecting the timeless craftsmanship of Nordic traditions. Visiting Stafkirkjan offers a moment of tranquility and a deeper appreciation of the cultural and historical ties between Iceland and Norway.
SEA LIFE Trust Beluga Whale Sanctuary
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
SEA LIFE Trust Beluga Whale and Puffin Sanctuary The SEA LIFE Trust Beluga Whale and Puffin Sanctuary on Vestmannaeyjar is a heartwarming and educational highlight of your private day tour. This one-of-a-kind sanctuary is home to two beluga whales, Little White and Little Grey, who were rescued from captivity and now thrive in their natural habitat off Heimaey’s shores. The sanctuary also cares for injured or orphaned puffins, offering a unique opportunity to see these beloved seabirds up close and learn about their rehabilitation. Guided tours provide fascinating insights into marine conservation efforts and the lives of the sanctuary’s residents. A visit here is both inspiring and a chance to connect with Iceland’s remarkable marine wildlife.
