    Phenomenal Experience

    Highly recommend this trip. Our guides were entertaining and knowledgeable. They truly care about Vestmannaeyjar. Hearing their stories just made it more personable. The best experience we had on our trip. It was a perfect weather day. We could have spent all day out there. Couldn’t get any better. Thank you.

    Fun ride!

    We had an amazing experience on the RIB boat ride. We were lucky with fantastic weather so that made it very enjoyable. We loved learning all the info about the islands and it was nice having a local Guide. Taking the ferry over the island and doing the rib boat ride was probably the highlight of our trip. Truly beautiful and hard to explain how beautiful these islands are. I would highly recommend putting this on your list of things to do in Iceland.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that the RIB Safari was one of the highlights of your trip to Iceland. We’re especially happy that you enjoyed learning about the islands from your local guide. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to Vestmannaeyjar someday! Best wishes from the Ribsafari Team

    Incredible.

    This was one of the most incredible experiences we had in Iceland. The boat was fun and we learned a ton. Our guide was seriously incredible - we loved hearing about rescuing the pufflins - we'd recommend this to anyone traveling to Iceland. My kids also gave this "a billion out of ten!".

    Response from the operator: WOW - A billion out of ten – we’ll happily take that! Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We’re thrilled that the whole family had such an incredible time and enjoyed the stories about our little pufflings. It means a lot to be one of the highlights of your Iceland trip. Thanks for joining us and for the fantastic recommendation! We will hopefully see you and your family again here in Vestmannaeyjar. With kindest regards on behalf of the Ribsafari Team

    Amazing Tour

    Our family had the best time on the RIB boat tour. Our guide Johana was so engaging and knowledgeable and everyone on the boat had an awesome time. Definitely one of the most fun tours we have ever done!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that your family had such a great time with us. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Johana – she’ll love hearing them! It means a lot to be called one of the most fun tours you’ve ever done.

    Do not hesitate

    Phenomenal experience. The boat ride itself was fun and comfortable, the views were just incredible, and the tour guides were a blast. The guides brought humor and made it a fun time while also sharing stories and insights about various parts of the island and living here. 2hrs was a great length to really get out there and take everything in. Would not hesitate to recommend this outfit for adventures. Oh and their playlist was fun too.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the full 2-hour adventure and had fun with our crew along the way. We agree - there’s nothing better than exploring the Westman Islands from the sea with incredible views, good stories, a few laughs – and of course, a great playlist! Thanks for joining us and for the wonderful recommendation! We will hopefully see you again on another adventure here in Vestmannaeyjar With kindest regards on behalf of the Ribsafari Team

    2 hour Round Trip in Vestmannaeyjar on a RIB Boat: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does 2 hour Round Trip in Vestmannaeyjar on a RIB Boat cost?

    +

    Prices start at €110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 hour Round Trip in Vestmannaeyjar on a RIB Boat take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is 2 hour Round Trip in Vestmannaeyjar on a RIB Boat worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 91 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 hour Round Trip in Vestmannaeyjar on a RIB Boat?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 hour Round Trip in Vestmannaeyjar on a RIB Boat suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 hour Round Trip in Vestmannaeyjar on a RIB Boat?

    +

    Around 32 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 hour Round Trip in Vestmannaeyjar on a RIB Boat start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
