• Elephant Rock - Hop on an ATV with us to discover the highlights of Vestmannaeyjar, including volcanic landscapes and puffins. Our journey begins by heading south along the island, where we’ll visit one of its most unique landmarks, the elephant-shaped rock known as “Elephant Rock”.
• Storhofdi (Great Cape) - From Elephant Rock, we drive towards Stórhöfði, offering a panoramic view of the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. On clear days, you can see all the way to Surtsey, the southernmost island formed by an underwater eruption on November 14, 1963.

At Stórhöfði, the views are stunning in every direction, though the strong winds can be dizzying as it is the windiest spot in the country. We’ll take a walk to a special location to observe the puffins, the crown jewel of Vestmannaeyjar, as they play on the slopes, take off, and land. Our guide will share fascinating facts about the puffins and their habitat.

• Eldfell - Next, we head from Stórhöfði into the lava fields for the “off-road” segment of our tour.

We’ll visit Prestvik beach, where the fishing ship Pelagus was stranded, and see the spot where Guðlaugur Friðþórsson came ashore after swimming 5-6 km in the dark, cold sea following the sinking of Hellisey VE 503, as depicted in the movie “The Deep.” We’ll navigate through the lava fields, into the heart of the Eldfell volcano, and along the coast, where the views are spectacular.

This tour is perfect for families who will enjoy exploring the historical sites of Vestmannaeyjar on a fun ATV ride. The ATVs are automatic and easy to operate, requiring no prior experience. Each ATV seats two people, with drivers needing a valid license and passengers required to be at least 6 years old.
