Explore Vestmannaeyjar's famous duo: volcanoes and puffins. Known for its 1973 eruption and the world’s largest puffin colony, this island offers a unique adventure.

Join us on an ATV tour starting southward, where you'll see the famous "elephant rock." We'll then head to Stórhöfði for stunning views of the island cluster. On clear days, you can even spot Surtsey, the southernmost island formed in 1963. Stórhöfði is perfect for watching puffins play and hearing fascinating facts about them. This part is non-offroad.

Next, we venture off-road through lava fields, visiting Prestvik beach, where fishing ship Pelagus stranded, and visit the scene from "The Deep," where Guðlaugur Friðþórsson survived a cold sea swim. The tour continues to Eldfell volcano and along the coast with breathtaking views.

This family-friendly tour requires no prior ATV experience. Drivers need a license, and passengers must be 6+. All gear is provided, including waterproof overalls, gloves, and helmets.

Jump on an ATV with us and explore the most famous things Vestmannaeyjar has to offer, volcanic areas and puffins. We start the tour by going south along the island where we will, among other things, take a look at one of the most special landmarks on the island, the elephant or "elephant rock".

Storhofdi (Great Cape)

From elephant rock, we will drive towards Stórhöfði, where the small island cluster of Vestmannaeyja faces us in all its glory. When the weather is good and the Vestmannaeyjar are at their best, you can see all the way to Surtsey, but Surtsey is the southernmost island in the Vestmannaeyjar cluster and was formed in an underwater eruption on November 14, 1963. At Stórhöfði the view to all directions is magnificent, despite the fact that the weather can make you spin around as it is the windiest place in the country. We will take the walk to a special place and give ourselves plenty of time to observe the crown jewel of Vestmannaeyjar, the puffins, watch them play around on the slope, take off and come in to land while the guide tells us interesting facts about the puffins and their surroundings.

This company is great. The guide was really good and when our ship switched gears on departure time this company was able to accommodate us early. And we saw lots and lots of puffins!!!
Out of our control to do this excursion .

Cruise ships are frequently unable to enter the Heimaey harbor area because of waves that could cause the ship to crash into rocks while anchored. We were unable to do our scheduled excursion and since it was leads than 24 hrs notice we were supposed to forfeit our money. Fortunately Viator contacted the tour company and we were able to get about 2/3 of our money refunded. I applaud Viator for getting us a partial refund but I think it should be noted in the description that frequently this may happen.

It was awesome. We each rode our individual single ATV and did the 2 hour volcano/Puffin colony tour. We also got a bonus unplanned Orca killer whale viewing in the cove where Puffin colony located. This was a fantastic ATV experience with unbelievable views. Our guide, Johann, was great and Thor, the business owner, was extremely helpful and easy to work with. Great experience!!!! Do this tour!!!!
Great Tour

Fantastic tour! Well paced with great views of the puffins and a nice ride through the crater with perfect picture stops. We even saw a small pod of Orcas!
Great time

This was a blast. What’s not to love… getting to see puffin’s while zipping around on an ATV? Our tour started a little late, but our guide made up for it by extending our tour. Well worth it.
