Traveler reviews
Didn't want to leave
Probably my favorite part of a 10-day Iceland visit. Apart from Puffins and hiking up a volcano, I got to feel connected to the island's tragic but uplifting history. I even stayed behind to explore town more on my own when my group went back on the ferry. Highly recommended!
Driver-guide...
Dynamic driver-guide, knows his history and the locations very well, and is capable of telling us about the customs and traditions of Iceland despite being 26 years old.
Great Trip!
Fantastic experience with a very personable and knowledgeable guide. We would recommend it a hundred times over.
Tour was great! We had...
Tour was great! We had Franklin as a guide and he was very knowledgeable and entertaining! The puffins were amazing!
Vestmannaeyjar island, don’t miss it
Vestmannaeyjar Island, Puffins and Volcano hike was one of the best I’ve had in a while. The tour guide (Franklin), was excellent. Franklin is very knowledgeable and has a great personality. Franklin, himself was a big part of why the tour went so well. The Puffins was one of the best I’ve seen on land. At the location of the Puffins, wherever you looked, there were puffins. To learn of the volcano eruption in 1973 on the island, and what happened to the people at that time was very interesting. This made the hike up the volcano more interesting as you made it to the top and looked around, imagining what it must have been like. It’s an all day tour, but if you have time it’s worth it. Remember to ask for Franklin, for the tour guide.
