Frequently Asked Questions about sailing from Landeyahofn to Westman Iceland

Is Vestmannaeyjar worth visiting?

Is it worth it to visit the Westman Islands?

The short answer is: YES!

And to back this up I’ll just list a few of the things that comes to mind, okay?

The largest puffin colony in Europe.
The Beluga Whale sanctuary.
Surtsey, an underwater eruption resulting in this new island and UNESCO listed.
Sprangan – an islander thing – rope from a cliff, show off to your mates. Do you dare?
Amazing and varied restaurants.
A golf course ranked in the top 200 of best golf courses in the world.
The Elephant Rock.
Sagnheimar Museum, a trip through time.
The new volcano Mt Eldfell (eld means fire, fell is a sort of mountain I guess you could say). It formed in 1973, just outside of town and the museum about that same eruption, called Eldheimar (yeah, we’re really original, I know).
And Söl. My personal favorite.

So the question should be: Is one day enough to experience this hidden gem?
(The answer to that is no, if that wasn’t clear.)
