- In PART 2 of our vestmannaeyjar trip we find puffins and beluga whales, and have to deal with our ferry getting canceled and then being EXTREMELY seasick on the FOUR HOUR ferry ride back 😵💫
In PART 1 we hiked the Eldfell volcano, visited Eldheimar volcano museum, and visited the local brewery.
The Westmann Islands are an archipelago off the coast of South Iceland full of bright colored houses, puffins, local restaurants and a brewery - all on a little volcanic island! The ferry ride over is only 35 minutes from the mainland making this the perfect day trip from Reykjavik.

Hope your safe . Miss you
Even their name is adorable!!!
Those kids are champs at “Puffin tossing”!!!!!
I have been watching all of your videos to prepare for an August trip. I would like to know how the volcano affects your daily life and also the tourism. Can you please do a video on the subject?
I was there back in July. It is windy! I was on an Adventure Canada ship coming from the Faroes. I had the best fish burger at a restaurant in Vestmannaeyjabær They also had a craft brewery there. The museum about the volcano was one of the most interesting museums I have ever visited anywhere. Thanks for bringing back my memories.
Thank you for posting and hope you guys made it back ok. This is a testament to how quickly the weather can change. We were on Westman 8/28, weather was clear, and fortunate to not have any complications. The process of the ferry was a little confusing on the way back but we followed the other cars and were able to make our trip back without issue. We also saw puffins at the same place you were at and the island was one of the highlights of our trip.
Hope you and your family are well! We miss you!
Keeping it real 😃🤪🤮😅🥰
The flight of the pufflings was so sweet!
Jeannie and family, hope you all safe! Be careful...
👍👍👍
Those puffins are so cute!❤
I have been there last in 2017, but there probably still is a hike on top of the mountains at your camp site. This one is incredible beautiful. You should go for it next time :-).
Looks amazing! What an adventure!
It was!
Hope you are OK! Just saw on the news about the volcano!
They still hunt puffins in Iceland!

Thanks for the recommendation!
Hi Thank you so much 😊😊
You're welcome 😊
Hope you are ok. I just found your videos a few days ago and suddenly heard about the volcano activity. I hope you aren't close to it. Good luck!
Thank you
👍
Imagine living someone else’s dream 🥺
So...how much did that meal set you back? 😬
Are you coming back. Did the volcano drive you away
😢 you're gone
We were in Iceland in the middle/late October. Rain, rain, rain, wind, wind, wind.
We were supposed to fly from Rekjavik to Egilsstadir on the 19th but all flights were cancelled and we had to scramble to get a hotel. We got one of the last 2 rooms at the Center Hotel Arnarhvoll. However it did give us a chance to eat some real Iceland food. We walked in the rain and wind to Islenski Barinn and had fried cod skins which tasted just like the pork rinds back home. I also tried long whale meat.
The next day the weather was good for flying and we flew to Egilsstadir. I really loved that part of the island. A lot less tourists. Litlanesfoss waterfall with its basalt columns was spectacular. I was going to try to go all the way up to Henifoss, but the weather started going sour so I headed back down. Also somewhere in all the rain and bad weather I had picked up a virus and was starting to feel lousy.
I also found that the northern lights are really not that great with the naked eye and you have to take a picture with a camera leaving the shutter open to get color. My eyes just saw gray glowing lines/waves. Therefore any future trips to Iceland will be "midnight sun" trips.
What a disgrace to eat whale! 😢there’s no need for this! 👿🤮
How cold and windy is it?
How's the situation with the volcano?
