This tour is absolutely brilliant and so much fun. Ebbi is a fantastic tour guide, a local who is super knowledgeable and passionate about the island he calls home. He brings history to life (including the wonderful HERJÓLFSTOWN Viking museum which Ebbi has been instrumental in creating). He crams a whole lot into a short amount of time. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone who visits the island. I will mention that people with limited mobility might find the tour a bit difficult. There is a lot of getting on and off the bus as the tour visits many places.One of my favourite ever tours. 2 hrs long, packed with relevant information from a fantastic local guide. Never on the bus for more than 10 minutes. Fabulous place to visit! EBBI you were fantastic!

The Puffin and volcano tour lived up to the hype! We truly enjoyed everything about this tour. Favorite places included the puffin lookout (of course) as well as the rugged coastline by the golf course and the Viking houses now made into a museum. We even enjoyed some Viking beer made by the tour owner, Ebbi, and his partners. Ebbi was a wonderful guide who made the tour fun and enjoyable.Like so many others have said, our guide Ebbi was absolutely fantastic and really made this tour special.

Like so many others have said, our guide Ebbi was absolutely fantastic and really made this tour special. Great local knowledge and despite it being the last few days of the puffin season, we saw quite a few puffins flying overhead, and the best part was holding a rescued puffling before releasing it into wild! A must-do tour on Heimaey Island!
