Vestmannaeyjar Heimaey Sailing Tour – 1.5 Hours

Experience a 1.5-hour sailing tour around Heimaey in the Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands) archipelago. Admire dramatic rock formations, the new lava from the 1973 eruption, and learn about the islands’ volcanic and geological history, including Surtsey, the youngest island in the world.

Spot seabirds such as puffins, fulmars, kittiwakes, and gannets, and often seals or whales in high summer. Visit two sea caves—Fjósið, inside the windy Höfði cape, and Klettshellir, famous for its incredible acoustics.
