The Grapevine's take
Rib Safari Vestmannaeyjar
Ribsafari run fast, low boats around Heimaey and the outer islands, which is both the most entertaining and the only practical way to see the archipelago's caves, stacks and bird cliffs from underneath. The RIB gets into places bigger boats simply cannot — caves you enter under power, cliffs where guillemots and puffins are stacked by the thousand, and Elephant Rock from the one angle where it unmistakably looks like an elephant. Tours run roughly one to two hours. They issue you a flotation suit. Wear it, and assume you will get wet regardless.
