"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 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.
by Adam B
Fantastic trip out to see the Puffins. Emily was our guide and we had beautiful weather with thousands of Puffins to see!! Emily even shared some of her own photos which were taken with a better telephoto lens than we brought ourselves. The boats are set up beautifully, with pneumatic saddle type seats and strong handholds. Like special forces SEAL team boats setup for Puffin encounters. The Captain even showed us some fast S-turns on the way back and the boat handled like a dream.... a very fun part of the trip! The outfitter provides everything you need and the trip doesn't take long at all. There were plenty of birds to see and the crew even offered binoculars to the guests.

It was a fun boat ride, fun to see Puffins, and the guide was very knowledgeable about the area sea life. On the way back our captain drove along the city shoreline for a different view of the city.

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.
