South Iceland´s new harbour creates new possibilities for travelers. A day tour  to Westman Islands, includes a boat trip with Ribsafari around the islands.
We begin the day with driving through the historical area Rangarvallasysla, the setting of the medieval saga Njalssaga.
We will stop at Hvolsvollur for a while and then drive to Seljalandsfoss, a beautiful, high waterfall one can walk behind. From there, we drive to the harbour at Bakki and take the ferry Herjolfur to Westman Islands. At the islands, we observe the new mountain Eldfell, that formed in an eruption in 1973, the buzzing birdlife, and the busy fishermen’s life at the harbour. We will have a look at the aquarium and the Scandinavian church at Skansinn and small shops located at the main island centre that sell handmade souvenirs. We can take a walk along Iceland´s most recent lava field, which is located high above the street level. There are also signposts indicating the former locations of buildings that used to be and to aid your imagination. 
We will sail around the island Heimaey, with the tour operator Ribsafari and take land in two other islands at Heimaey archipelago, the roundtrip takes about 90 minutes. During summer you will be able to observe the birdlife up close and personal and if we are lucky, we might see whales playing a variety of games. At last, we will take the ferry back to the harbour in South Iceland and drive the same route back to your hotel.
