Highlights
Set out on a private journey from Reykjavík or the Keflavík area to the Westman Islands, with a scenic stop at Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. From there, continue to the coast and take the ferry to this remarkable island destination. Often described as one of Iceland’s natural gems, the Westman Islands are shaped by volcanic activity and coastal cliffs. During your visit, you’ll explore highlights such as Eldfell volcano, formed in the 1973 eruption, the striking Elephant Rock, Stórhöfði, and Herjólfsdalur valley. This private experience allows you to shape the day to your preferences. You may choose to hike Eldfell for panoramic views or visit the Eldheimar museum, which tells the story of the eruption as an example.

About Reykjavik
Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.
The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.
Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
