Iceland · WESTMAN ISLANDS TOURS
Good westman islands tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
See Heimaey’s puffins, Elephant Rock, Viking Town, and Eldfell crater with local guide Ebbi on a lively two-hour island tour.
“Ebbi is an islander and knows the island so well. You get on and off the bus and right up on all the sights. We learned tons about the island, history and points of interest. I highly recommend you do this first so you know where to go and what to do while you are there.”
Ride an automatic ATV across Heimaey’s lava fields, Eldfell, and coast with warm gear, local stories, and a small group.
“We had an amazing tour with Mar, it was such a fun way to explore the volcano! Highly recommend to anyone visiting the island.”
Cruise Heimaey for volcanic cliffs, sea caves, puffins, Elephant Rock, and local stories on a 90-minute Ribsafari 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.”
Ride an electric scooter across Heimaey, seek puffins, enjoy volcano views, and visit the Sea Life Trust Museum on this small-group Iceland tour.
“What a great experience! We felt safe the entire time after a thorough lesson on how to operate our scooters, followed by a fantastic tour and puffin viewing. We could not have asked for a better time!”
Pick a season, a glacier or a hot pool.
