We had such a great experience on Viking’s 2 hour private tour around Vestmannaeyjar. It was our local guide’s first tour on her own. Normally that might concern a group but instead this turned out t…Full review by emdtravels99

An amazing fun RIB boat ride. They take you around the islands, talk about the bird life, take you into small caves on the side of the islands, talk about the area. All in a RIB boat. The guide CJ ma…Full review by N1918SZdavidg
I’m interested in the circle tour but the website will not work for me. I’ve been trying for months now. Can you help me book a trip in June or lead me in the direction to do so?
Are whale watching tours offered in March? We're considering a stay in Hella and we're mapping out area options for day-time activities (milking the 5-6 hours of daylight!). Thank you!

I appreciate your response! Hope to catch you next time!
Has anyone done the trip out to Surtsey? If so, could you provide some input on your tour? How long is it? Is the water rough? Is it worth the time? I would love to see the island. Do the guides speak in English? I know that tourist are not allowed but I would love to see the island from a far.

I've done the circle tour which is a scenery and bird watching tour. I know Viking also offers a 3.5 hour tour which goes near the various Westman Islands (looking for bird life which is spectacular in Iceland) and ends up getting as close to Surtsey as is allowed. The guides do speak English and provide a lot of great information. However, be forewarned that, yes, the seas can be moderately rough to really rough. If it's too rough they'll cancel the tour for safety sake. I've been on numerous boat tours in Iceland from various ports and it's always been pretty choppy (plus the fact that these tour boats are small adds to the motion). If motion sickness is a huge concern then I'd skip the boat activities and do land based tours. Or take meds well in advance of boarding the boat to help with the motion.
