TRAVELERS’ REVIEWS

by Ajay S

Loved the Puffin tour! The boat ride was fun! The Puffins were adorable to watch from close to the island. We circled a part of the island and watched Puffins going about their life. Learnt a few amazing facts about them.

by MissHips

"Overmet" my expectations. Saw soooo many puffins! And Anna, the guide, delivered some interesting information about them and other birds we saw, and even better pictures of them.

by Mark D

We enjoyed the boat trip to a puffin island at Reykjavík. The binoculars that were given to passengers was helpful. But what we truly appreciate was the photos that were taken by a member of the crew, which look to be of professional quality, that upon request were sent to us free of charge after the trip had ended.

by Jo C

We really enjoyed our tour and it was wonderful to see all the puffins in their natural habitat on their island. It was a spectacle to see them flying around the boat too! Many thanks to the wonderful crew who were all so kind and helped make the experience so special.
