Review of Vestmannaeyjar’s 1-hour Ribsafari boat tour, with sea caves, puffins, fast rides, warm gear, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Just because you can get to the whales faster does not mean you get more time with them. Just because the boat is smaller and more maneuverable does not mean you will get closer to them. Take a bigger boat have a drink and get closer with a better view. Guide said we were going somewhere else but Captain just took us back in towards port more slowly. We have been whale watching many times all over the world. Hugely disappointing.”
