This is a must - Mar was the best tour guide I’ve had so far. Very friendly and open minded. The drive through the volcanic fields was so mesmerizing I was smiling through the whole tour. And driving the Quad is so much fun, one has to drive it. And not to mention the great view from all the spots you drive by! All in all highly recommended, this is a must when on Vestmannaeyja!!

Exciting, educational with gorgeous views. - This was an excellent tour that gave us interesting knowledge/ story of the island, great views, all while riding an ATV along a volcano. Our guide, Mar made the good experience great with her knowledge, kindness, humor and offered to take pictures of us along the way. Was one of the highlights from our entire Iceland trip!

Mar was awesome! - Amazing excursion on the island. Mar was very informative and friendly, she explained everything with great detail and gave recommendations for food to try. She took her time showing us around and even invited us to come back and take part of the puffling patrol. Highly recommend.
