Review of Ebbi’s Heimaey puffin and volcano tour, with Viking history, Elephant Rock, Eldfell, local stories, and practical tips.
“Great excursion! Ebbi enthusiastically shared the history of the area, including personal stories, and was a delight to spend time with. Beautiful areas. Well organized tour.”
Ride an automatic ATV across Heimaey’s Eldfell volcano, lava fields, beaches, and historic sites on a scenic one-hour family tour.

Cruise around Heimaey to see sea caves, new lava, Elephant Rock, puffins, and volcanic history on Ribsafari’s 90-minute boat tour.
“It was a great tour with fun stories. We were surprised how far we were from the cliffs with the puffins. Difficult to get a good shot with a 300mm. If you want to see the puffins up close it would be better to go by land. We did, however, see a pod of orcas, so that ended up being the highlight. That and the guide’s stories.”
Review of Eyjascooter’s Heimaey puffin tour, with scooter tips, wildlife timing, costs, safety, museum access, and honest booking advice.
“I would have given this tour 5 - Stars but sadly as our guide said when we arrived the Puffins had flown away just a couple days before we go there to do the tour. However we didn't go all that way to not still enjoy ourselves and take an awesome scooter tour around the island with an excellent guide. The scooters really zip you along and were so much fun to ride I even checked online once we got home to see what one might set me back to purchase. While we did not see the puffins (what the wife really wanted to do) we got a great detailed…”

Review the Beluga Whale Sanctuary in Vestmannaeyjar, with belugas, puffin rescue, aquarium exhibits, ferry tips, price, and honest drawbacks.
“First, I want to acknowledge that this is a sanctuary, not an aquarium, and I respect the mission behind it. However, I left feeling quite disappointed, as I expected more from the experience. The space felt very small with not much to see or do. The belugas were absolutely adorable, but the viewing area was small the window was so small you could barely get a good look. On top of that, it became crowded with people pushing and fighting for a turn, which was especially frustrating to see with children trying to get a view. While grown men pushed in front of them. I was also surprised at how…”
Pick a glacier, a harbour or a hot spring.
