ツアーオプション
旅程
ウェストマン諸島への冒険は、レイキャビクの出発地点から始まります。全員が乗船したら、ランデイヤホフン フェリー ターミナルまでの 2 時間の旅が始まります。そこで、ヘルヨルフル フェリーに乗り、ヴェストマン諸島までの美しい景色を楽しみながら 30 分間の航海に出ます。
到着後、ツアーはエレファント ロック (ハルドルスコラ) の息を呑むような景色を眺める休憩から始まります。この見事な岩は、エルドフェルの火山噴火で形成された玄武岩でできています。その独特のシルエットは、象の頭に似ていて、鼻が優雅に水に浸かっており、紛れもないランドマークとなっています。
次に、ストールホフジ岬を訪れて、魅惑的なツノメドリ観察を楽しみます。この魅力的な鳥の素敵な写真を撮る機会がたくさんあります。
ツノメドリ観察の冒険の後、次の目的地は「北のポンペイ」という愛称で呼ばれるエルドハイマー博物館です。ここでは、1973 年の火山噴火にまつわる出来事と、それがこの地域に与えた甚大な影響について詳しく知ることができます。この有意義な見学の後、ダウンタウンへ向かい、昼食休憩を取ります (昼食代はツアー料金に含まれていません)。
昼食後、私たちは港湾エリアに隣接し、かつてこの場所にあった要塞にちなんで名付けられたスカンシンに向かいます。ここでは、息を呑むような崖の眺めを眼下に望む灯台の隣にある、印象的なノルウェーの「バイキング」の木造教会、スタフキルジャンに出会うでしょう。
スカンシンの探検の後、私たちの冒険は、1973 年に最後に噴火したエルドフェル火山へのハイキングで続きます。頂上に到達すると、周囲の溶岩原、町、そして眼下に広がる島全体の壮大なパノラマが楽しめます。
ハイキングの後は、自分のペースでゆっくりと街を散策したり、港に戻る途中で魅力的な溶岩原を探索したりすることができます。夕方遅くに港に再集合し、フェリーに乗って本土に戻り、夕方までにレイキャビクに時間どおりに戻れるようにします。

Overall, this tour was great. Our guide Maria was especially excellent—she told us about the history, the nature, and had some good jokes to keep us ent while driving.
Maria was the best guide and provided us with many informations about Iceland. We saw many puffins
Hi there, much appreciated. Glad the Westman Islands trip went well and that you got plenty of puffins. Come back any time! Arctic Adventures Team
Thor was an amazing tour guide! He taught us so much about Iceland's history and wildlife.
Hi there, thanks for writing this up. The Westman Islands history and wildlife are best with a guide who knows the detail. Glad yours delivered on both. Thanks for choosing us for the day. Arctic Adventures Team
A wonderful experience all around. Our guide/driver, Siggy was great and informative, any questions I had were answered immediately, transportation was timely, and the food at the lunch stop was excellent. The history of Westman Island and the 1973 volcano was fascinating. We enjoyed seeing the puffins, birds and the landscape.
The landscape here is gorgeous. The history of volcanic eruptions is very interesting. Every stop was wonderful and given plenty of time. Small group of only 8 people, all of whom were delightful. Do not miss the visit to these islands. Our guide Sichao was hind, patient, informative, and a great driver. He went out of his way to make sure we saw so much, including a surprise waterfall at the end! A full day of adventure! The trip to the ferry was about 1.5 hours, but enjoyed the lovely scenery on trip to and from. Ferry ride was very pleasant. A terrific day!
coordination and transportation was good. the tour information and guide experience was lacking. Felt like the guide was just going thru the motions. I think he was a sub but for this price the guide should be better

Best regards, Arctic Adventures Team
Great day! We saw about a thousand puffins (seriously!). And many other birds. Also learned a great deal about the volcano including a really interesting hike on it. Rebecca was an excellent guide!
Be sure to confirm your excursion with the local provider the day before. We called them & were told they had no such excursion scheduled the following day. Along with our disappointment, it took over 40 minutes on the phone with Viator to get a refund.
PUFFINS! only saw a few because it was rainy and windy, but still very special experience. A must see.
We had an amazing time at this tour of the Westman Islands. We had really hoped to see Puffins on this trip and the tour made it happen. Justin is an amazing guide and person. He made the entire group feel very welcome and had a great sense of humor. He waited for those who were late because they got lost and never uttered a word about any inconvenience this may have caused. He showed us around the island and took us to an amazing restaurant which he had pre-booked for the entire group. I highly recommend Justin and this group for those who want to accomplish a whole lot within a day.
