Highlights
A two hour sailing in Vestmannaeyjar on a RIB speedboat. During this trip we will sail with you to the most popular islands in our archipelago. You will see the elephant rock, a lot of wildlife, nature, islands and sea caves. You will get to know the history of Vestmannaeyjar and see unique rock formations. In good sea conditions we will even sail to Súlnasker, which is without a doubt the most magnificent island or skerry in Westman islands. The island’s cliffs rises up 60-70 meters and stands on four posts. If we are lucky we will also see some whales and seals. This is a sightseeing tour with a twist as you get an adrenaline kick at the same time on our RIB Boats. Our guides will take good care of you and you will certainly have a blast.

5Phenomenal Experience
Highly recommend this trip. Our guides were entertaining and knowledgeable. They truly care about Vestmannaeyjar. Hearing their stories just made it more personable. The best experience we had on our trip. It was a perfect weather day. We could have spent all day out there. Couldn’t get any better. Thank you.
5Fun ride!
We had an amazing experience on the RIB boat ride. We were lucky with fantastic weather so that made it very enjoyable. We loved learning all the info about the islands and it was nice having a local Guide. Taking the ferry over the island and doing the rib boat ride was probably the highlight of our trip. Truly beautiful and hard to explain how beautiful these islands are. I would highly recommend putting this on your list of things to do in Iceland.
5Incredible.
This was one of the most incredible experiences we had in Iceland. The boat was fun and we learned a ton. Our guide was seriously incredible - we loved hearing about rescuing the pufflins - we'd recommend this to anyone traveling to Iceland. My kids also gave this "a billion out of ten!".
5Amazing Tour
Our family had the best time on the RIB boat tour. Our guide Johana was so engaging and knowledgeable and everyone on the boat had an awesome time. Definitely one of the most fun tours we have ever done!
5Do not hesitate
Phenomenal experience. The boat ride itself was fun and comfortable, the views were just incredible, and the tour guides were a blast. The guides brought humor and made it a fun time while also sharing stories and insights about various parts of the island and living here. 2hrs was a great length to really get out there and take everything in. Would not hesitate to recommend this outfit for adventures. Oh and their playlist was fun too.
5Awesome experience, great staff
This was a highlight of our trip to Iceland. The scenery was beautiful, the guide was fun and informative, the boat captain made the trip a blast and they provided some special surprises we weren't expecting. Can not recommend more highly!

About Reykjavik
Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.
The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.
Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
