Day 5, Island RIB Safari and Puffins

Start the day with a short ferry ride to the Westman Islands just off the south coast of Iceland. The Westman Islands were the site of a massive volcanic eruption in 1973 that buried almost a third of the town under lava and the rest under ash and pumice. It has since recovered and is now one of Iceland’s most successful fishing ports. Here you will experience something unique. We will go on an exciting RIB safari tour around the islands and bounce on the waves while checking out the archipelago’s nature, wildlife and sea caves.
