  Nature and History Tour - Explore the beuauty of the islands

Driving from Reykjavik to Landeyjahöfn allows you to explore the south coast of Iceland on the way to the harbor.

You will have a Seafood lunch at restaurant Sæland upon arrival in Heimaey. After lunch, you will get a bus tour in Heimaey, one of the 15 Westman Islands, on a luxury bus guided by a person who experienced the night of the eruption in 1973 and get a first-hand story of the events.

Visit one of Iceland's most famous museums, Eldheimar. Eldheimar is a

souvenir exhibition. The exhibition conveys information about the volcanic

eruption in Vestmannaeyjar in 1973, undoubtedly one of the biggest natural disasters in Iceland's history. You can see into the human life and the environment in Vestmannaeyjar before the eruption and how the natural disaster of 1973 intervened in the society and the people's lives.

Almost all the inhabitants of Heimaeyjar had to leave their homes in a hurry and flee the island. Many never saw their houses and most of their possessions again.

You will have the chance to experience the island's beauty, unique nature, birdlife, and seacliffs. We visit the puffin area in Stórhöfði during the tour.
