Fun scooter tour-See puffins and island history! - Whether you have a few hours or more, Eyascooter tour is a great way to see the island and puffins, definitely a highlight of our July 10-day trip. I’m not confident on electric vehicles, but our guide made everything feel easy and fun. We had a quick practice run in the parking lot, and once I felt like I got the hang of it, I loved feeling the wind on my face. Our guide was relaxed and gave us digestible chunks of island history along the way. Checking out Elephant Rock, Hraunkæling Eruption Memorial, elf stone legends, and Stórhöfði Puffin Lookout/Great Cape made us feel like a local if only for a minute. We went to Eldheimar volcano museum after the tour, pointed out as a must see during our trip, great suggestion! Thank you for helping us to create fun memories of Iceland!

Yes, Yes, YES! Don't miss this ... REALLY! - We signed up for this tour as a paid excursion on our Viking cruise. We are in our early 70s and neither of us had ever driven an E-Scooter. We wanted to see the Puffin colony and this seemed like a good alternative to another bus ride. After a quick safety lesson around a parking lot, the group took off and were quickly outside the town. The only way I can describe this tour is SPECTACULAR! If I could score it higher, I would. The views on the road are amazing and the Puffin colony exceeded all expectations. The guides are knowledgeable, compassionate and patient; they do their best to keep the group together; and, they provide excellent commentary at each stop. We especially enjoyed their talk about the volcanic eruption in 1973. This was far and away the best excursion we had in Iceland! This small, family business offers a truly unique, close-up look at the beauty of Vestmannaeyjar. A definite YES!

Eyjascooter electric bike tours - This tour has other options, I did 2hr custom since I wanted to do more photography. Owner accommodated our group by adding a slot, made it fun day. Scooters great for older folks, tour is good for any adult.

A definite must do! - This tour is a MUST do when visiting Vestmannaeyjar! Ingibjorg and Hreidar are fabulous hosts. We loved hearing about the history of the island and their personal stories as locals. This island is breathtaking and the scooters were a fun and easy way to see it!

Great way to see puffins without car - 3 of us in our 50s and 60s popped over to Vestmannaeyjar for 2 nights on the ferry. We left our car at the ferry terminal. We were able to hike most of the island on our own including to the top of Eldfell volcano. Our guesthouse owner told us Stordhi was at least 8km walk one-way. So we opted to take the EyjaScooter tour to see the puffins. The electronic scooters were very stable and easily handled the crazy Icelandic wind and sleet. We are glad we dressed in rain pants, jackets and gloves for the weather we had. The ride out the cove was exhilarating! We all got adrenaline hits. We were able to see puffins! We hung out to watch them for awhile then continued on to the volcano, lava formations and back through town. You get a chance to practice in the parking lot at the start to familiarize yourself with the controls. Very easy to learn and control. The guide share local stories along the way. Great way without a car to see the puffins.

Should have a more fair cancellation policy regarding weather. - I understand that they can enforce a 80% retaining of the expenses paid to do this excursion if the trip is cancelled. Considering the weather was the sole factor for having to cancel the excursion, and the ship could most definitely not make port due to the winds and rain (and high waves), it’s extremely unlikely the excursion would have continued either way. I understand that this policy provides the service with payment, but for the cost of the excursion lost, this is absurd.

DO NOT BOOK IF YOU ARE ON A CRUISE! - Our cruise ship was unable to dock due to bad weather and high seas. The vendor refused to offer us a refund - $943 completely up in smoke. Thanks for nothing!
