The scooters stand out, led by a local guide. The Island is magnificent, offering enjoyment through its scenic routes. It’s exceptionality lies in traversing the Westman Island with a guide, navigating near towering cliffs, soaking in the view of the sea, the diverse bird life, the encompassing islands, and simply savoring existence.

Great way to see puffins without car - 3 of us in our 50s and 60s popped over to Vestmannaeyjar for 2 nights on the ferry. We left our car at the ferry terminal. We were able to hike most of the island on our own including to the top of Eldfell volcano. Our guesthouse owner told us Stordhi was at least 8km walk one-way. So we opted to take the EyjaScooter tour to see the puffins. The electronic scooters were very stable and easily handled the crazy Icelandic wind and sleet. We are glad we dressed in rain pants, jackets and gloves for the weather we had. The ride out the cove was exhilarating! We all got adrenaline hits. We were able to see puffins! We hung out to watch them for awhile then continued on to the volcano, lava formations and back through town. You get a chance to practice in the parking lot at the start to familiarize yourself with the controls. Very easy to learn and control. The guide share local stories along the way. Great way without a car to see the puffins.

Exciting, fun and unique - Excellent tour with wonderful narration. Owner is young man whom is very friendly, kind and experienced with scootering. Fun and exhilarating tour with puffin viewing, volcano explosion explanation and Iceland folk lore stories. Conveniently located 5 minutes walking from cruise ship.

Amazing - Had a great time, even in the wind. Perfect way to see the island and our guide was amazing. We saw puffins, learned about the history of the island and learning to ride the scooters was easy.

Fun adventure on Heimaey Island - This is the perfect (quiet) way to experience the natural beauty of Heimay Island. The owners are very nice and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and thought it was a very fair value. Highly recommend. I had never ridden a scooter before - so experience not necessary.

Highlight of trip to Iceland - Our tour was the highlight of my week long trip to Iceland! The family owned business took care of us and provided a personal touch. The ride was absolutely beautiful and the puffins were the icing on the cake! We learned a lot about the island and had a great time. I highly recommend Eyjascooter!

Puffins or not Well worth the Time! - 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 tour of the island from playing golf in the summer at midnight to how things were when the volcano erupted back in the late 70s, to seeing puffins at the museum and also a couple of whales along with them. It was a great way to spend about 2 hours of the day and highly recommend that if you get the chance to take the tour. Side note on the ferry back to the mainland the wife did get to see her baby puffin and hold one as they had 2 that were found in town and being brought out to sea to be released on the cruise back so not all was lost on the puffin adventure!

Shouldn’t sell a puffin tour when you know their are no puffins - The scooters are an interesting way to see the island, but be prepared as it is very cold. I was disappointed with this tour, as the owner of the business knew there were no puffins yet and still allowed me to booked the tour. This tour is very expensive for what it is, and it was a very disheartening experience for someone who’s primary reason for visiting the island was to see puffins.
