Reykjavík Premium Puffin Tour
What your day looks like
The summer is the best time to experience the birds and wildlife of the bay and islands just outside Reykjavík city. Puffins, Auks, Gannets and an incredible variety of other sea birds dominate the skies and sea cliffs just a few minutes sailing from the Old Harbour. But that is not all, this tour is operated in our custom made RIB boats. They are specially designed to get you as close as possible to the islands and when possible we can switch the engines completely off to give the birds (and you) some peace and quiet to enjoy nature. During the tour your guide and captain will tell you interesting facts and tales about the Puffins and our surroundings.

What travelers are saying
We had a knowledgeable and pleasant guide, skilled boat pilot, and welcoming check in experience. The 1-hour tour was the perfect lenghth and we saw many Puffins. The rib was perfect for this type of trip.
It was a great. We saw so many puffins. I also liked that we got the photos that were taken onboard.
This was a lovely outing. We got to see a lot of puffins and pretty natural scenery. We didn't get too close to upset the birds and had great views with the binoculars they had available for us on the boat. The boat ride was quick and comfortable. We were well dressed, given special suits to wear. It was a fun experience. We were very happy with it.
