Sail into the wild, volcanic wonder of Vestmannaeyjabær (Vestmannaeyjar / Westman Islands), a stunning archipelago off Iceland’s south coast where the 1973 eruption of Eldfell created a new island and reshaped Heimaey—the main island—with dramatic lava fields, steaming craters, and black-sand beaches like the iconic Stórhöfði headland teeming with thousands of puffins in summer. Explore the Eldheimar Museum, built around a half-buried house from the eruption, offering a moving glimpse into the resilience of the islanders, wander the charming harbor town with its colorful houses and fresh seafood restaurants, or take a boat tour to see puffin colonies, seals, and the dramatic sea cliffs of the surrounding islands—all in a remote, windswept paradise that perfectly blends raw volcanic power, abundant seabird life, and warm Icelandic hospitality.
Savor fresh Atlantic cod, langoustine (Norway lobster) straight from the sea, skyr with bilberries, and hot Icelandic hot chocolate amid ocean breezes, puffin calls, and the unmistakable sense of standing on the edge of a living, breathing volcanic world.
Vestmannaeyjar isn’t just a destination—it’s Iceland’s most dramatic island escape of fire, sea, and wildlife—plan your Vestmannaeyjabær adventure today!
