1 Hour RIB Boat Tour
Hop aboard for a scenic 1-hour boat tour along Heimaey’s dramatic coastline, where volcanic cliffs, hidden coves, and sea-carved caves create nonstop photo moments right from the harbour. As we cruise the island’s rugged shoreline, you’ll get a clear view across the water toward Elliðaey and the tiny cabin often nicknamed “the loneliest house in the world” We’ll also pass one of Vestmannaeyjar’s most famous natural landmarks, Elephant Rock, the remarkable basalt formation shaped like a giant elephant dipping its trunk into the Atlantic. Along the way, keep an eye out for puffins on the water and seabirds soaring over the cliffs and, if we’re lucky, whales at boatside or seals in the surf. It’s the perfect short trip for big scenery, iconic sights, and a true taste of the Westman Islands. Experienced local captains guide guests safely through the archipelago on high-speed rigid inflatable boats, allowing you to get close to places that larger boats cannot reach.
