6 Archaeology Tours in Reykjavik That You Shouldn't Miss

July 27, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

Reykjavik bears the distinction of being the world’s northernmost capital, and for many Icelandic visitors it also serves as a gateway to the rugged adventure options beyond. Recharge after outdoor pursuits in one of the many geothermal springs or luxurious indoor spas. We appreciate Reykjavik’s open-minded and energetic culture that includes a hip and internationally recognized music and arts scene, great food and notoriously "enthusiastic" nightlife.

We drive from Reykjavik or where you want to be picked up towards the harbor in Landeyjar. The ferry Herjólfur will take us to Heimaey or the home island. Westman islands are a group of islands off the south coast of Iceland. Heimaey is the only island that is inhabited all year long. The sailing time is around 40 minutes by the ferry , but you have panorama view the whole trip, on a good day. You can enjoy the islands and if you look towards the main island - Iceland you have a great overview of our south coast and Eyjafjallajökull. It is magnificent when we enter the harbor and it feels like the seabirds and puffins are welcoming us. This tour brings so many different sights - worth visiting.

We spent 4 days travelling to see the Southern sites of Iceland with a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. In addition to the standards like the black sand beaches and the Blue Lagoon she showed us many sites that are not available on regular tours through the big companies like the Westman Islands at sunset and more waterfalls than I could imagine! We also sampled Icelandic foods like fish and chips, traditional Christmas treats and delicious tomato soup surrounded by the tomato vines. Best of all, we learned so much about the rich Icelandic culture and history from Gulla. We could not have asked for a better tour guide.
