The package includes two nights at Adventure Hótel Geirland and breakfast each morning.

Day 1: Explore Vestmannaeyjar Island

On the first morning, you will be picked up from your accommodation in Reykjavík. The tour will head to the Landeyjarhöfn harbor, where you will board a ferry to Vestmannaeyjar Islands.

Following this, visit Eldheimar Museum, which commemorates the volcanic eruption of 1973 that forced the island’s residents to evacuate. After the museum, hike up Mt. Eldfell or explore the town before returning to the mainland in the afternoon.
