Top-Rated Heimaey Shore Excursions

Heimaey is the only inhabited island of the Westman Islands off Iceland’s south coast, and its harbor was nearly closed off by lava from a modern eruption. Visitors hike the still-warm slopes of the Eldfell volcano, take boat trips around sea caves and cliffs, and watch the large puffin colonies that nest on the island.
