Itinerario
¡Prepárate para un viaje fantástico a Vestmannaeyjar, las fantásticas Islas Westman! Saliendo de Reykjavík, suba a bordo de nuestro acogedor minibús para 19 personas con nuestro animado guía. Después de dos horas de viaje, llegaremos a Landeyjarhöfn para tomar un rápido ferry hasta Heimaey, todo en sólo 30 minutos. ¡Prepárate para un día lleno de risas y delicias isleñas!
Tan pronto como lleguemos, ¡prepárate para sorprenderte con la impresionante Roca del Elefante (Halldórsskora)! Tallado en roca basáltica durante la erupción volcánica de Eldfell, es un espectáculo digno de contemplar. Con su silueta única que se asemeja a la de un elefante sumergiendo su trompa en el agua, es como el propio jardín de esculturas de la naturaleza.
El siguiente paso de nuestra aventura es prepararse para una encantadora sesión de observación de frailecillos en el cabo Stórhöfði. Prepare sus cámaras porque habrá muchas oportunidades para tomar deliciosas fotografías de estas carismáticas aves mientras realizan sus travesuras diarias. Los frailecillos, con su cómico contoneo y sus vibrantes picos, son los verdaderos VIP (muy importantes frailecillos) de las Islas Westman. Apodados “loros marinos” o, a veces, “payasos del mar”, los frailecillos pasan 8 meses en el mar cazando peces durante el invierno y regresan a tierra sólo para aparearse y anidar desde mediados de abril hasta agosto.
Después de nuestra aventura de observación de frailecillos, nuestra siguiente parada es el Museo Eldheimar, conocido cariñosamente como la "Pompeya del Norte", donde explorará los acontecimientos de la erupción volcánica de 1973 y su impacto duradero en la región. Después de esta esclarecedora visita, nos dirigiremos al centro para tomar un descanso para almorzar (los gastos del almuerzo no están incluidos en el precio del tour).
Después del almuerzo, nuestra aventura continúa hacia Skansinn, ubicada junto al puerto y que lleva el nombre de una fortaleza histórica que alguna vez ocupó este espacio. Aquí descubrirá Stafkirkjan, una extraordinaria iglesia de madera "vikinga" nórdica pintada en llamativos tonos negros. Además, no se pierda las impresionantes vistas de los acantilados que protegen el puerto de Heimaey y ofrecen un pintoresco telón de fondo para su exploración de la isla.
A continuación, nos embarcaremos en una emocionante caminata por el volcán Monte Eldfell, conocido por su espectacular erupción en 1973. Una vez que conquistemos la cumbre, prepárese para quedar deslumbrado por el impresionante panorama que se abre ante usted: una vista fascinante de extensos campos de lava. , la encantadora ciudad y toda la isla se extienden debajo como una colcha de retazos. Después de la caminata, tendrás la libertad de explorar tranquilamente la ciudad u optar por un cautivador paseo por los cautivadores campos de lava en tu camino de regreso al puerto. ¡La decisión es tuya!
A última hora de la tarde, nos reagruparemos en el puerto para subir a bordo del ferry de regreso al continente, garantizando un regreso puntual a Reykjavik por la noche. ¡Es el final perfecto para un día lleno de aventuras inolvidables en las encantadoras Islas Westman!

nice daytour, beautiful places, great tourguide - Magnus - funny and lots of interesting info, definitely recommend
Thor was punctual, informative and a lot of fun! He is a really great guide! The trip was easy to sign up for. I would recommend it
Franklin was our guide and he really made this our favorite tour. Westmann Island is enchanting. We got to see several puffins, had an excellent lunch at Tanginn, visited the beluga whale sanctuary and climbed the dormant volcano Eldfell. Great tour!!
I took the Westman Islands Tour with "Your Day Tours" in July 2025. We had Rebecca as our guide/driver. There were 19 people on our tour. I had a little confusion on the pickup time. My paperwork said pickup was from 8-8:45am, but the driver said pickup starts at 8:45am. So I waited at my bus stop for over an hour. I was picked up at 8:55am. Rebecca was a very fun, energetic and funny guide. You could tell she loved her job and loved showing us what Iceland had to offer on this tour. She was also very informative on what we were seeing on the tour. The big draw for me on this tour was the puffins. I will say the walk/hike to see them was somewhat difficult with the narrow trails zig zagging around puffin nests. I am glad I brought my trekking pole. As a suggestion, the company should note this on "things to bring". The hillside was very steep. Older folks with balance issues, would not be able to do it. Luckily, we had magnificent weather, to make everything easier. If that hillside would have been wet, it would have been extremely difficult to walk. It was a little confusing on where to get the best views of the puffins. At some point, people started to split off and go further down, but I stayed where we first saw some puffins. We also went to the Beluga Whale Museum (admission was not included in tour price). We saw Eldheimer which is the volcanic eruption museum from 1973. That was very interesting. We also hike around the volcanic crater rim of Mt Edfell. We saw Skansinn which is a church gifted to Iceland from Norway. The ferry ride to and from the island was smooth and faster than I expected. It was only about 35-40 minutes each way. The only thing we didn't have time to see was the Elephant Rock. It was mostly because we voted to stay a bit longer at the puffins. Great tour and I'd highly recommend getting to the island.
We had Franklin as our guide and he was wonderful! Funny, informative, and knowledgeable. His love and excitement about all animals was a very endearing quality. He made our day fun and relaxing. This was a great tour, it is a long day but it went fast. We saw a lot-the puffins and Eldheimer Museum were highlights! Would recommend this tour and this company to anyone visiting Iceland.
Great trip! Excellent puffin viewing. We were able to get close enough for spectacular pictures. The volcano hike and museum were also great! Very fun day!
Our guide Franklin is great. He is entertaining and also punctual. We saw the Beluga whales in the Sealife sanctuary but the cost is extra if you want to see it. There were many puffins but less than I expected since they went out to the sea.
Although it rained (typical Icelandic weather) the tour was fantastic. We saw some incredible sights with a couple of cheeky added bits. Our guide Anastasia was brilliant. Interacting with all of us and parting her extensive knowledge of Iceland onto us. Absolutely would take a tour with her again.
