Review of Ribsafari’s 1-hour Vestmannaeyjar boat tour, with sea caves, puffins, rock formations, warm gear, pricing, and practical tips.
“Just because you can get to the whales faster does not mean you get more time with them. Just because the boat is smaller and more maneuverable does not mean you will get closer to them. Take a bigger boat have a drink and get closer with a better view. Guide said we were going somewhere else but Captain just took us back in towards port more slowly. We have been whale watching many times all over the world. Hugely disappointing.”
Ride a 4WD buggy through Icelandic lava, mud, snow, and mountain trails on a one-hour adventure with pickup from Reykjavik.
“The buggy adventure was a great time! It was a rainy day and were concerned to get all wet and muddy. That was not the case as the company provides all the rain gear and coveralls to protect you from all the elements. The guide was great and lead us through all the trails and made sure my wife and 9yr old daughter were doing good and felt comfortable driving through all the terrain. We stop at the top of a large mountain bluff to take in the views of Iceland. The guide answered all our questions and we enjoyed the trip very much. Would recommend.”

Ride an off-road buggy through Icelandic scenery near Hvolsvöllur, with waterfalls, glacier views, safety gear, and a small group setting.
“It is approx. 2 hours from Reykjavik and the buggy ride was fantastic fun, we had with us children of 5 years and all agreed that this was great fantastic fun for the hole family so this is recommended.”
