Flight services between mainland Iceland and the Westman Islands (Vestmannaeyjar) will continue operating through the end of May 2026, providing continued access to one of Iceland’s most dramatic photography destinations.
This matters for landscape photographers because the Westman Islands offer unique opportunities to capture dramatic coastal cliffs, puffin colonies, and volcanic landscapes including the famous Eldfell crater. Reliable flight access ensures photographers can plan multi-day shoots on the islands without worrying about transportation disruptions.
- Book flights in advance as services may have limited capacity
- Plan for potential weather delays when scheduling island photography trips
- Consider staying overnight to maximize shooting opportunities during golden hour
- Check current puffin season dates if planning wildlife photography
