Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands): A Day Trip from Reykjavik

Vestmannaeyjar, Westman Islands, Iceland

If you want a break from the norm of Iceland, head to Vestmannaeyjar, also known as the Westman Islands. They are an archipelago of about 15 islands and 30 reefs off the coast of South Iceland formed by underwater volcanic activity. The Westman Islands have a summer feel to them, and this day trip from Reykjavik is a great off-the-beaten-path activity for anyone. No trip to Iceland is complete without a trip to Vestmannaeyjar!
