# 2 hour Round Trip in Vestmannaeyjar on a RIB Boat

In our comparison: #3 of 21 in Whale & Puffin Watching, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

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.
