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.

Once back, you will travel along the South Coast and enjoy views of notable sites including Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, and Mt.

Laki, hike to the summit for stunning views of the landscape and the historic Lakagígar craters formed during one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history from 1783-1784. This eruption significantly impacted Europe, leading to a famine that contributed to the French Revolution.

You will make short stops along the highlands before arriving in Kirkjubæjarklaustur, where you have free time to explore** Systrafoss Waterfall**, Systrastapi Rock, or the fascinating Kirkjugólf (Church Floor) made of row upon row of basalt columns. Afterward, return to your hotel for the night.
