About this experience
A two hour sailing in Vestmannaeyjar on a RIB speedboat. During this trip we will sail with you to the most popular islands in our archipelago. You will see the elephant rock, a lot of wildlife, nature, islands and sea caves. You will get to know the history of Vestmannaeyjar and see unique rock formations. In good sea conditions we will even sail to Súlnasker, which is without a doubt the most magnificent island or skerry in Westman islands. The island’s cliffs rises up 60-70 meters and stands on four posts. If we are lucky we will also see some whales and seals. This is a sightseeing tour with a twist as you get an adrenaline kick at the same time on our RIB Boats. Our guides will take good care of you and you will certainly have a blast.

EPIC!
An absolutely epic experience! If you’re visiting Iceland, do not miss this opportunity. Having puffins fly alongside you as you race across the water on a RIB boat is truly life-changing. The surrounding islands are breathtaking—it will easily become one of your favorite days in Iceland! 🇮🇸🐧🌊
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing review! We love hearing that your RIB adventure was such a memorable part of your time in Iceland. Loved that you managed to get the great puffin adventure and a life-chaning experience. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope those memories stay with you for a long time and you are always welcome back to create more memories :) With kindest regards on behalf of the Ribsafari Team

Great time on the Westman Islands
This was an amazing experience. Everything was perfect - the weather, the boat, the logistics, and especially the guide. Great time.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted everything came together for a fantastic experience – including some perfect Icelandic weather! It's especially lovely to hear that your guide made the tour memorable. Thank you for exploring the Westman Islands with us! We will hopefeully see you again on another adventure With kindest regards on behalf of the Ribsafari Team

Sooooo many Puffins.
If you only have time for one thing while visiting Heimaey, this excursion should be it. It has it all: rock formations (more than just Elephant Rock), caves (you actually go into), and lots of puffins. Skimming over the waters with a great playlist made the boat ride fun and the scenery was amazing. There were many stops on the ride and our guide Johanna told great stories at each one. The suits they provided were warm and comfortable. There was no water spray and I never felt cold. I would suggest a pair of light wind resistant gloves if you are someone whose hands get cold.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We're thrilled you enjoyed everything from the puffins and sea caves to the rock formations, music and scenery. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Johanna. And great tip about the gloves for those chilly Icelandic days! Thank you for recommending us as a must-do in Heimaey! We will hopefully see you again in the future on another adventure With kind regards on behalf of the Ribsafari Team

The best!
I can't say enough about this 2 hour trip, except 4 hours! The scenery is breathtaking but the icing was the imprint of our guide and captain: passionate and dedicated toward their land they couldn't bottle in their excitement to share it with us. Knowledgeable, creative, fun and funny. If I'm back in Vestmannaeyjar, I'm doing this trip again!
Response from the operator: What a wonderful review – thank you! We're thrilled you enjoyed the two-hour adventure so much that you would have happily stayed for four! It means a lot to hear that the passion our crew has for the Westman Islands came through during the tour. We would absolutely love to welcome you back for another adventure someday! With kindest regards on behalf of the Ribsafari Team

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
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 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 84 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 29 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, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. 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.
