Itinerário
Prepare-se para uma viagem fantástica a Vestmannaeyjar, as extravagantes Ilhas Westman! Saindo de Reykjavík, embarque em nosso aconchegante microônibus para 19 pessoas com nosso guia animado. Depois de duas horas de viagem, chegaremos a Landeyjarhöfn para uma rápida viagem de ferry até Heimaey, tudo em apenas 30 minutos. Prepare-se para um dia repleto de risadas e delícias da ilha!
Assim que chegarmos, prepare-se para se surpreender com a deslumbrante Pedra do Elefante (Halldórsskora)! Esculpido em rocha basáltica durante a explosão vulcânica de Eldfell, é um espetáculo para ser visto. Com a sua silhueta única que lembra um elefante mergulhando a tromba na água, é como se fosse o próprio jardim de esculturas da natureza.
Em seguida em nossa aventura, prepare-se para uma sessão encantadora de observação de papagaios-do-mar no cabo Stórhöfði! Prepare suas câmeras porque haverá muitas oportunidades para tirar fotos deliciosas desses pássaros carismáticos enquanto eles realizam suas travessuras diárias. Os papagaios-do-mar, com seu gingado cômico e bicos vibrantes, são os verdadeiros VIPs (Very Important Puffins) das Ilhas Westman. Apelidados de “papagaios do mar” ou às vezes “palhaços do mar”, os papagaios-do-mar passam 8 meses no mar caçando peixes no inverno, retornando à terra apenas para acasalar e nidificar de meados de abril a agosto.
Após nossa aventura de observação de papagaios-do-mar, nossa próxima parada é o Museu Eldheimar, carinhosamente conhecido como a 'Pompéia do Norte', onde você explorará os eventos da erupção vulcânica de 1973 e seu impacto duradouro na região. Após esta esclarecedora visita, iremos ao centro da cidade para um intervalo para almoço (despesas de almoço não incluídas no preço do passeio).
Após o almoço, a nossa aventura continua até Skansinn, localizada junto ao porto e que leva o nome de uma fortaleza histórica que outrora ocupou este espaço. Aqui, você descobrirá Stafkirkjan, uma notável igreja nórdica 'Viking' de madeira pintada em fortes tons de preto. Além disso, não perca as vistas deslumbrantes dos penhascos que protegem o porto de Heimaey, oferecendo um cenário pitoresco para a sua exploração da ilha.
Em seguida, embarcaremos em uma caminhada emocionante até o Monte. Vulcão Eldfell, conhecido por sua erupção dramática em 1973. Depois de conquistar o cume, prepare-se para se deslumbrar com o panorama de tirar o fôlego que se desenrola diante de você - uma vista hipnotizante de extensos campos de lava , a charmosa cidade e toda a ilha espalhada abaixo como uma colcha de retalhos. Após a caminhada, você terá a liberdade de explorar a cidade sem pressa ou optar por um passeio cativante pelos cativantes campos de lava no caminho de volta ao porto. A escolha é sua!
No final da tarde, nos reuniremos no porto para embarcar no ferry de volta ao continente, garantindo um retorno pontual a Reykjavik à noite. É o final perfeito para um dia repleto de aventuras inesquecíveis nas encantadoras Ilhas 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.
