Adventure and fun go hand in hand as you explore the volcanic island of Heimaey. If you\u2019ve never ridden on an ATV before, you might be curious as to what it\u2019s going to be like. We\u2019re happy to answer any questions if you have them, but here\u2019s a brief guide about what to expect on an ATV tour to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You won\u2019t miss out on Heimaey\u2019s scenery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to see the scenery during your visit to Heimaey, you can go for a hike to some of the island\u2019s sights. But there\u2019s a downside to this option. For one thing, it takes a lot of effort. Although the harbour area is flat, once you start to walk inland the road is a little steep, so you\u2019re going to feel the exertion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might choose to get round this by bringing your rental car over on the ferry so you can drive around. This gets over the issue of the hills, though some parts of the island are still accessible to cars so you\u2019d have to get out and walk in some places. The good thing about an ATV is obvious from its name: all-terrain vehicle. You really can immerse yourself in the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230703_152444-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230703_152444-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230703_152444-scaled-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230703_152444-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230703_152444-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230703_152444-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230703_152444-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ll get full instruction before we set off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Riding an ATV is child\u2019s play \u2013 it\u2019s easy to pick up how to do it. Safety\u2019s important and we are fully licensed. We\u2019ll show you the ropes and make sure you\u2019re confident at the wheel before we set off on our tour. That means you can relax and enjoy the scenery as we set off around beautiful Heimaey. Communication shouldn\u2019t be a problem as our guides speak both Icelandic and English.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Book an ATV ride and you can see some of the island\u2019s sights such as Prestvik Beach and get a close up look at Eldfell volcano\u2019s lava field. Also, it\u2019s a good way of covering more ground if your time in the Westman Islands is limited. Group tours last for an hour, but what an action-packed hour that is! Alternatively, we can customise the tour to your needs, perhaps a puffin add-on or luxury option with food.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ll have lots of fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Riding our ATVs is a lot of fun. For visitors who don\u2019t have their own driving licence, we offer the option to can ride alongside someone who does \u2013 if that\u2019s you, you won\u2019t feel left out. Tandem or solo, you\u2019ll all enjoy the thrill of riding around on these versatile buggies. As long as the youngest travellers are over six years old, our ATV tours are suitable for all the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the tour, you\u2019ll navigate uneven terrain and see what the landscape is like beyond the town. We build in stops at some of the most interesting places on the island. That gives you plenty of opportunity to take some souvenir selfies \u2013 your photos will bring a smile to your face again once you get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230410_125752-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230410_125752-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230410_125752-scaled-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230410_125752-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230410_125752-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230410_125752-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/volcanoatv.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20230410_125752-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You might get a bit dirty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Adventurous activities are a lot of fun, but you might also get a little dirty as ash and sand flick up from the ATV\u2019s wheels. That shouldn\u2019t be a problem as we supply overalls, gloves and helmets which protect your own clothes \u2013 and you \u2013 underneath. Nevertheless, we wouldn\u2019t recommend you wear your best outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing to contend with might be the weather. Iceland\u2019s weather is full on, particularly to the south of the island around the St\u00f3rh\u00f6f\u00f0i&nbsp;peninsula, which is one of the windiest places in the country. Conditions can change rapidly and you might experience sunshine one minute and rain or sleet the next, but hey, that\u2019s Iceland for you!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ll feel exhilarated\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We can also tell you that it\u2019s an exhilarating ride, but don\u2019t take our word for it. Get in touch and secure your place on our ATV tour and inject some fun into your Westman Islands visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On land and from the water, the Westman Islands really deliver when it comes to making memories.
