Best Tour Ever - This was a very special tour that my wife and I will always remember. Volcano ATV made our first anniversary unforgettable with a perfect day touring the island, plus a fantastic meal in a cave!! Steini, Mar, and everyone at Volcano ATV were a joy to work with, and they went above and beyond to create an experience we will never forget. We’re still speechless!

Worth every penny - We had booked a ride quite spontaneously because we had first thought about the price. But it was worth every penny! We had a lot of fun!

Fun way to spend an hour - We did the ATV tour as part of our stop in the Westmann Islands. It was a short but fun tour and the guide made the ride challenging while also being safe and informative.

Amazing Tour and Guide! - We missed the ferry ride the day that we booked our tour, but the people at VolcanoATV were very kind and got us booked for the next day. It was just my husband and I on the tour with Mar. She was very sweet and the tour was awesome!

Can absolutely recommend! - It was a very nice tour, you quickly get up to the volcano, drive through the volcanic rock and get a lot of explanation about the eruption of the volcano. Before we were well equipped with a jumpsuit, and of course helmet. I can recommend the tour to anyone! If I visited the island again, I would do the same. Tour guide was very friendly and could explain a lot about the volcano and also about the island in general.

This is a beginner level... - This is a beginner level tour. If you are looking for putting an ATV through its paces you may want to do a different tour. The views were fantastic and unique. Definitely worth the time. The ATV’s themselves are well used with a few having to be swapped out before we could get going. May be time to start thinking about replacement vehicles. The employees were great at assisting with getting everyone into properly fitting coveralls, helmets and gloves. Very personable and willing to help with anything we needed.
