Really fun activity with great staff & quality equipment - The boat was fast and really fun, they had great tunes and the guide was informative. The company staff were really lovely on arrival. They helped me get ready into the suit quickly and they stored my bags safely. They gave me a great lunch reco for afterwards. Take ginger beforehand if u get motion sickness (I did and was fine but two other people felt unwell). The tour had no sick bags available which was a bit odd. The boat ride, the music and the staff were the highlight, rather than the nature (surprisingly). We saw a few puffins flying around but none close up.

Perfect Addition to Our Vacation - This was my very favorite activity out of three trips to Iceland. I highly recommend this company and tour. I wish we had booked the two hour tour and will definitely do it next time we are there. The tour guide and captain were awesome. They played music in between stops and the information was humorous and informative. 100% will do this again.

Best activity in Iceland! - Wow! What an excursion! After disembarking from the rocky ferry ride, there were certainly some concerns about taking a smaller boat in the same conditions. Bee immediately made it clear that we would have an awesome and safe time. With the staff of her and Omar, we were in bliss with some incredible tunes, awesome speedboating/waves, and great explanations of all the incredible sights to see around the coast of Vestmannaeyjar. Once again, this was the HIGHLIGHT of our week trip to Iceland, and Bee certainly is in the MVP conversations!

A Must Do - Well organized, fun & fabulous experience. The longer rides were booked out but would recommend if available. The 1 hour ride leaves you wanting more!

Amazing 1-hour trip! - Absolutely amazing time. A must do while at Westman Islands. We got a potential wind warning before 9 am for our 12 pm trip that the wind was too high and to stand by. However, the captain was able to alter the route so we stayed around the East side of the Iceland. And it was freaking amazing. Music was great. Captain Omar was skilled. Our guide Albert had really nice personal stories. I can do this trip every day!
