Omg PUFFINS!! on the best tour we took in Iceland <3
carolinesE7809ZZ, September 2026
Hands down the best tour we took our entire two weeks in Iceland! Ebbi was an absolutely wonderful host for his home island—in two hours we fell in love with Heimaey and can't wait to go back (and this time, actually stay there! especially for the great Puffling Patrol). Ebbi was extremely knowledgeable and kind and honestly the all-around perfect tour guide. Can't recommend enough!!

Great Day

Island and tour were well worth the day. Ebbi is informative and loves his Island. Learned a lot from Puffins, early living in Iceland, the volcano, and Island life. Saw the Puffins before they left to sea- thousands of them! Ended with 2 hours before next ferry so snjoyed lunch and shopping.

Best Tour in Iceland
214terrieg, September 2026
This was, without a doubt, the best tour we took while vacationing in Iceland. It was AMAZING!! Our guide, Ebbi, was funny and full of wonderful information about the people and history of the island. Even though we did the tour on August 30, 2026, we were able to see Puffins!! The mainland Puffin's had all left, but Puffins on Vestmannaeyjar stay until mid-September so we were able to see a colony and even watched rescued Pufflings being released (be sure to ask Ebbi about Pufflings). Thank you, Ebbi, for an amazing tour.

Excellent tour experience
barbarabE7381IA, September 2026
Excellent tour with a fun and knowledgeable local guide/owner. Kept the tour fun while sharing a lot of information about the island and residents, the volcanic eruption and birdlife, including puffins. Easy to book directly with the business. Highly recommend to get a great overview of the island.

elizabethgA9076KO, August 2026
Ebbi gave us an amazing enjoyable tour, he took us all over the island including the puffin cliffs, there were plenty to see, apparently they are here well into September, Absolutely stunning island and traveling with a local Ebbi was so informative. Do come and enjoy all the island has to offer!
