Total route too long to export to Google

On day one, you will get a small taste of the Icelandic South Coast - before continuing the adventure to the incredible Westman Islands. This is really one of my favourite parts of Iceland. I definitely recommend you stay one night on the Westman Islands before continuing back on the South Coast. Make sure to book your ferry on www.herjolfur.is
