The short answer is: YES!
And to back this up I’ll just list a few of the things that comes to mind, okay?
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.)
The best and cheapest way to get to the Westman Islands is by the ferry. It takes around 45 minutes and leaves from Landeyjahöfn seven times a day.
There really is no need for a car on the Westman Islands. You can walk almost everywhere. The most remote gem of a must-see is Storhofdi (i. Stórhöfði – e. Great Cape) that has amazing hiking trails and (drumroll) the puffin watching site. There you also get to see Klaufin, a strange beach formed by eruptions from several directions.
