Weather was bad but the trip was still good - Halli and his wife led our excursion on a raw, drizzly, foggy day. Poor conditions prompted them to use a more substantial boat and modify the itinerary. You could tell that they are knowledgeable sailors, respectful of the risks of sub-optimal conditions. Halli and his wife were warm and friendly and made the trip wonderfully memorable. I hope that when YOU go the weather is better.

Boat Adventure - It was the highlight of our trip! The captain and his co-pilot were so great to point out landmarks, move the boat so we could take great photos and tried to make sure the ride was as smooth as possible!

Sweet boats and an elephant too! - The rib boat tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The rib boat captain (islands best DJ) and his crew was fantastic. Take the ferry from tha mainland to get there, make sure you hike the extinct volcano on the island. The island is full of happy, friendly English speaking people who go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. The tour owner has a very cool black ram truck. If you like trucks.

A MUST DO!!! - Phenomenal tour! What a treat to see the island in this way. Halli was such a gem, he grew up on the island and had a ton of rich history to share. The views of the caves and geology was stunning. We felt completely safe and warm in our hearty safety coveralls. It’s a MUST DO in Westman islands!

A perfect day - We were on a Viking tour and they ran out of space, we wanted to visit elephant rock. This turned out to be the highlight of our tour! It so much was fun, Our guide took us to elephant rock and showed us more than expected, We visited a beautiful cave and sang happy birthday to a fellow traveler. The guide related some funny stories and played a song so we could do a video. What a wonderful idea. Thank you sir for making this vacation so perfect. Our greatest gratitude for his excellent tour.

Memories that will last a lifetime! - What an amazing experience! It was a windy day, but my tour guides were amazing. They made sure I felt comfortable. I was the only one to show up, so I got a private tour 😊 They were so informative, kind, and funny! My favorite part of this tour was the acoustic cave. I highly recommend booking with this company! A memory I will NEVER forget!

Not what was advertised, but we still enjoyed it - The description says that the tour is no more than 6 people. Our tour had 7 guests, 2 guides, and we took a different boat than shown in the pictures. The boat seats 4 in front, 2 boat operators, and 6 in the back. Because of this, we sat in the back the entire time, except for the ride back. The boat operator did a good job slowing down at each stop and rotating so that we could see things also, but I think we were disappointed in not getting what was actually advertised since we could have payed less and booked with a larger boat for a similar experience. We saw puffins from a distance, caves, rock formations, and were very warm from the suits that were provided!
