Beware of ATV excursion on Heimaey

Terrible experience. We were on the Regent 7 seas Grandeur. Had prebooked the ATV tour for three of adults on two vehicles for 7/18/2025. We arrived at the dock and there was NO ONE to meet us. We were three adults with no where to go to meet the tour operator. We were strangers in a strange land. We got off the tender but the tour operator was a NO SHOW. I suspect that the tour operator is a scam. Because we had booked a tour privately, we were required to take a later tender. The early tenders were reserved for those who had booked their excusion through the ship's office. While patiently waiting, we did see a string of ATV's speed by us. We tried to flag them down. They did not stop probably because they knew what they had done was WRONG. I highly sus[pect that the tour operator "double dipped" and sold our excursion twice. Once to us in advance and a second time to passengers who disembarked before we were allowed on shore. Most likely this person has done this before and will with out a doubt do it again. Challenged it on my credit card for $300+ but was turned down even though it was obvious that we had prepaid for an excursion that was not provided. TripAdvisor stated that we were NO SHOWs NOT TRUE.
ATV tour was the bomb

This activity was one of the best things we did on our trip to Iceland. Our guide Viktoria was THE best!! We had so much fun and she took us to an extra spot with a beautiful view and shared a lot of interesting things and history with us. We each had our own ATV which I highly recommend. We had a blast!
Drive of a lifetime

An amazing experience with Viktoria as you are guided along a fun and exciting trail driving your ATV. Loaded with multiple breathtaking viewpoints and chances to take photos along the way. Viktoria also gave many interesting facts and great info at every stop enhancing the history of the island. Even if your a beginner driver, it's easy to drive an ATV and enjoy the ride of a lifetime. Perfect for couples as we did. Heavily recommended to try if visiting in the area. 10/10 rating.

We had such a great time exploring the volcano on ATVs! Our tour guide was perfect - she knew so much about the island, the volcano, and Iceland in general. She took her time explaining things, answering our 1 million questions, and was happy the whole time. 10/10 recommend <3
Best tour!

What a fun way to explore a new volcano!! Our guide Victoria made sure we were safe and had a blast. My husband and I shared an ATV and enjoyed taking turns driving. Beautiful landscape, interesting geology!
