Review of Ebbi’s Heimaey puffin and volcano tour, with local history, Elephant Rock, Eldfell, Viking Town, practical tips, and value advice.

“Ebbi was the best. He is so knowledgeable of the island, which makes sense since he grew up there. You can tell he has so much love and passion for his home town and island. He took us to see so much beside the puffins and volcanos. We leaned about the town, the history of the island and several scenic views. Boom with ebbi you won't regret it.”

Review of Eyjascooter’s Heimaey puffin tour, with electric scooters, wildlife viewing, volcano sites, island views, and Sea Life Trust Museum entry.

“WOW, just wow! We had the best time during our time on Heimaey with the Eyjascooter Puffin Tour. We visited on the *literal* first day of Iceland’s summer season, so the puffins weren’t there in force, but we still received a full tour of the puffin colony, visited multiple lookout points across the island, and saw the town of Vestmannaeyjabær.
