From the Westman Islands you’ll be exploring spectacular rock formations as you sail towards the Reykjanes peninsula & South Coast of Iceland. Expect sea caves, the chance to spot a smouldering volcano and challenging coastal cruising.
The Hvalfjoerdur is a picturesque fjord not far from Reykjarvik where the yachts may anchor up and explore the area, including the natural springs where there is a spa to relax tired muscles, or local hiking.
