This comfortable combo package offers a unique blend of nature and adventure, beginning with a 1.5–2 hour horseback riding tour with Eldhestar in the morning. During the ride, you'll explore magical landscapes believed to be home to Iceland’s elves, including Alfakví and an old sheep house steeped in folklore. Along the way, you’ll experience the famous Icelandic horse gait known as the tölt on well-maintained paths. After the ride, enjoy a light lunch at Hotel Eldhestar before being transferred to Reykjavík’s Old Harbour.
Once at the harbor—located near Reykjavík’s vibrant city center—you’ll have time to explore its charming cafés, museums, and boutiques before continuing the adventure with a Puffin Express tour.

Amazing tour! Highly recommend. Our tour guide was so much fun and humorous and entertained even my kids age 11 and 13. I learned so much on the tour and got to see all the great spots on the island. We saw lots of puffin, so that was definitely the highlight, but really the whole tour was a perfect thing to complete our trip to the island.
My family of four thoroughly enjoyed Ebbi’s tour. His sense of humor, local roots, and easy style were greatly appreciated. My elementary school aged daughters loved learning about puffins and volcanos. Well worth the time and money, highly recommend for your consideration.
Did the puffin and volcano tour, Ebbi was a great guide, took us to all placers to see on the small island, had a lot of jokes. Visited the puffins, so cute! Would take another tour with Ebbi any given time. Visited some real 'viking' houses, learned what 'sprangan' means, wnet to 'thez most windy place in Europe' Great tour!
Thank you, Ebbi, for a world-class, two hour tour of the island your family has called "home" for hundreds of years. I really appreciated both your humor, and your local knowledge, from the Viking houses to the "Puffling Patrol."
The Puffin & Volcano Tour with Ebbi is a must-do 2-hour tour in Vestmannaeyjar! Ebbi is so friendly, fun, entertaining & knowledgeable while taking you through his entire hometown. We got to enjoy the natural beauty & culture of Iceland including a tour into the Viking history. Super fun & unforgettable. Thank you Ebbi!
