Take your motion sickness meds - We had a nice tour around the Island. Our Captain explained a lot, and we made several stops around the island. The sea got really rough when we headed out to a cave, but our captain did an excellent job driving. I get terrible motion sickness, and I was glad I had taken medicine before getting on the boat.

Beautiful way to see the waters, the cliffs and the birds! - Excellent boat captain, beautiful tour small group, that captured the beauty and majesty of the islands, the geography and the birds. So many puffins flying!! Just perfect! More comfortable easy ride than in our own dingy. Able to go inside the beautiful caves and see the colorful walls which the larger boats can’t. We also had a gorgeous sunny day. Many thanks to the delightful captain and his wife.

Other worldly - Other worldly scenery. Our captain adjusted the route due to higher seas in the original route. We were very thankful for that because other rib boats just cancelled.

Eyjatours and Eldheimar - We visited the Eldheima Volcano Museum, which is very elaborate and informative. Then we went on the extremely successful Puffin and Volcano Tour with Ebbi, which gets our best recommendation. It is informative and fun. Thank you Ebbi.

Highly recommended! - The couple running the cruise acted as guides. they were truly enthusiastic about the sights they were showing. Lots of expert inside information on birds & rock formations. We were lucky in that the weather was perfect on an August summer day. Apparently that is not always the case on Iceland's Heimaey Island.

So many birds!!! :-) - So many birds, cliffs and caves! Loved cruising around the magnificent cliffs and seeing thousands of birds that dwell on them. I’d never been inside a sea cave and found the colours of the waters and walls breathtaking. Our guides were sweet and knowledgeable. I’ll let friends coming to Iceland know about this tour. Thanks so much!

Memorable and great experience - We really enjoyed our tour and felt safe and secure the entire time. This tour company was a smaller outfitter than the bigger RIB boat tour option on Westman Islands, which we appreciated. The couple running the tour are friendly. My family of four appreciated that their boat only holds 10 people maximum. If you hear others speak of larger boats, it was with the other tour company, not this one. We got to see so many great highlights from the water that we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. For anyone considering this tour, go ahead and do it. You won’t be cold or wet. My only words of caution would be for those with young children (elementary or younger) and those with accessibility issues. This tour is not for you. Moving about the boat with small children is not possible, and if they are more rambunctious, it could be a safety hazard. For anyone with accessibility issues, getting in and out of the boat will be difficult. Other than that, the tour is a great option, and I would definitely recommend to my friends.
