Overview

Explore Vestmannaeyjar's famous duo: volcanoes and puffins. Known for its 1973 eruption and the world’s largest puffin colony, this island offers a unique adventure.

Join us on an ATV tour starting southward, where you'll see the famous "elephant rock." We'll then head to Stórhöfði for stunning views of the island cluster. On clear days, you can even spot Surtsey, the southernmost island formed in 1963. Stórhöfði is perfect for watching puffins play and hearing fascinating facts about them. This part is non-offroad.

Next, we venture off-road through lava fields, visiting Prestvik beach, where fishing ship Pelagus stranded, and visit the scene from "The Deep," where Guðlaugur Friðþórsson survived a cold sea swim. The tour continues to Eldfell volcano and along the coast with breathtaking views.

This family-friendly tour requires no prior ATV experience. Drivers need a license, and passengers must be 6+. All gear is provided, including waterproof overalls, gloves, and helmets.

    Storhofdi (Great Cape)

    From elephant rock, we will drive towards Stórhöfði, where the small island cluster of Vestmannaeyja faces us in all its glory. When the weather is good and the Vestmannaeyjar are at their best, you can see all the way to Surtsey, but Surtsey is the southernmost island in the Vestmannaeyjar cluster and was formed in an underwater eruption on November 14, 1963.At Stórhöfði the view to all directions is magnificent, despite the fact that the weather can make you spin around as it is the windiest place in the country. We will take the walk to a special place and give ourselves plenty of time to observe the crown jewel of Vestmannaeyjar, the puffins, watch them play around on the slope, take off and come in to land while the guide tells us interesting facts about the puffins and their surroundings.
