A 1-hour small-group RIB ride from Vestmannaeyjar, with warm gear, sea caves, puffins, and guides who mix local stories with speed.
“Well organized, fun & fabulous experience. The longer rides were booked out but would recommend if available. The 1 hour ride leaves you wanting more!”
1 hour 4WD buggy ride from Reykjavik with thermal gear, hotel pickup, and lava, mud, and snow trails, plus a photo stop.
“The buggy adventure was a great time! It was a rainy day and were concerned to get all wet and muddy. That was not the case as the company provides all the rain gear and coveralls to protect you from all the elements. The guide was great and lead us through all the trails and made sure my wife and 9yr old daughter were doing good and felt comfortable driving through all the terrain. We stop at the top of a large mountain bluff to take in the views of Iceland. The guide answered all our questions and we enjoyed the trip very much. Would recommend.”
Spend an hour in East Iceland on a small-group RIB safari for Atlantic puffins, seals, and possible whales near Bakkagerði.
“Great view of puffins and other animals, RIB is fun. The guides are very nice and knowledgeable. Comedy schtick wears thin. Overall highly recommend.”
