What you can expect

Explore the volcanic landscapes and puffin colonies of Vestmannaeyjar on an quad bike tour. Begin by heading south along the island, stopping to admire the iconic Elephant Rock. Continue to Stórhöfði, where you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Vestmannaeyjar islands.

Take a walk to a special spot to observe puffins in their natural habitat. Watch them play, take off, and land while your guide shares fascinating facts about these charming birds and their surroundings.

Next, drive into the lava fields for the off-road portion of the tour. Visit Prestvik Beach, where the fishing ship Pelagus stranded, and see the site where Guðlaugur Friðþórsson came ashore after a harrowing swim, as depicted in the film “The Deep.”

Drive through the lava fields and around the Eldfell volcano, taking in breathtaking coastal views along the way.

This family-friendly tour is suitable for all ages, with automatic ATVs that are easy to drive. All necessary gear, including water-resistant overalls, gloves, and helmets, is provided.
