Tours on Westman/Vestmanaejyar

Posted by on

First time poster here. We will be heading to the Westman Islands mid-August, and I've seen several tours recommended. They all look amazing! We are really interested in the Puffins, but it looks like the island has lots more to offer. Does anyone have advice on what these cover and what your experience was with them?

Ebbi (Eyjatours)

Circle Boat Tour (Viking is the company I think - not the Zodiac tour - one family member has a weak stomach)

Thomas, Wildlife Photographer (books on airbnb apparently, haven't seen him anywhere else)

We will be there overnight, so could do two, but don't want to spend the money if they cover the same things. Thanks!

I have no personal experience with the ones you listed.

We did the 2 hour rib safari tour there and it was excellent! I don't know if it is possible for you to split up and let the person with the weak stomach do something else? Just a thought:)

Puffins are easily seen down at the puffin lookout on the south end of the island. Be sure to go early in the morning or late at night as during the day the birds are flying over the water fishing.

Do not miss Eldheimar Museum. If you are up for it, do the short hike up to the top of Eldfell for great 360 views.
