Top 10 Outdoor Activities in Westmann Islands, South Region

April 23, 2022 Christa Meece

Known as Vestmannaeyjar locally, the Westmann Isles are Iceland’s most important and newest island group, just 5,000 years old and still active volcanically. The latest addition, Surtsey, came courtesy of an undersea eruption in 1963. Because of their youth, the islands are especially rugged and are renowned for their sheer cliffs, which serve as home to huge bird populations (10 million puffins alone live here). As for people, Heimaey is the only island in the cluster that’s inhabited.

Lyngfell Stables

Reviewed By LS5000 - Cologne, Germany

I had a wonderful experience riding along the spectacular coast, the beach and up a mountain in the most beautiful part of the island. Lyngfell Stables is a family-owned small horse rental and I as well as another rider was guided by Asa. We were both not beginners but it certainly is also suitable for beginners. The horses were great with a lot of toelt and definetely well kept and happy horses. A very special experience. Unfortunately it was our last day on the Island, otherwise I would have come again. Highly recommended.
