Must do in Iceland - This tour was one of the highlights of our Iceland vacation. We found Ebbi to be extremely informative and we got to see so much of the island in a relatively short time. Saw lots of puffins, enjoyed the beauty of the Westman Islands and learned a lot of history. Got to sample some Icelandic treats and had we planned more time on the island, got many great recommendations for food and sight seeing. His office is very close to the ferry and is easy to find. No need to bring a car if you’re going on this tour!

Great Heimaiy Puffin Tour - A great day out with our group of friends. He is a local with amazing knowledge of the history and stories of the local folklore. Great value for money - great weather and we saw lots of puffins and cute lambs. How lucky is Heimaey having Ebbi to showcase this spectacular island.. We highly recommend this as your number one tour !! Do it ! You won’t be disappointed.

Super fun tour - Great guide, beautiful sights, no bathrooms though and very few puffins. I would definitely recommend the tour but wouldn’t call it a puffin tour.

Definitely worth it! - This tour was a highlight of my trip to Iceland. Seeing puffins up close and learning so much about the history and the experience with the volcano erupting from a local resident was memorable and special. The Viking museum was fun and unexpected. The golf course was beautiful. And learning about the volcano and seeing the path of the lava and climbing on it was remarkable.

100% worth it, one of the most memorable things we did in Iceland - Absolutely awesome, one of our tour highlights was we got to see one of the birds our guide's son rescued from town and see it fly off into the ocean. Really great tour, highly recommend.
