RIB boat tour Vestmannaeyjar: See elephant rock & sea caves
RIB boat tour Vestmannaeyjar: See elephant rock & sea caves★★★★★★★★★★ 4.96 (91)2hA two-hour RIB speedboat tour in Vestmannaeyjar takes you around the archipelago's islands, sea caves and rock formations with a live guide. You'll see elephant rock, puffins, kittiwakes and gannets; in good conditions you reach Súlnasker, a gannet island whose cliffs rise 60–70 meters on four posts, and you may spot whales or seals. The boat provides warm protective clothing, float suit and life jacket. A minimum group of six people departs from the operator's office at Tangagata 7; the tour does not run in very windy weather.Is it for me?This is a shared-group tour, so you'll be on the boat with five other travelers minimum. Choose it if you want speed and access to narrow caves and close views of rock faces—the RIB's design is what makes that possible—and if the adrenaline of a fast boat ride appeals to you as much as the sightseeing does.Free cancellationKids −46%fromUS$ 240View ›
