Itinéraire

Embark on the Reykjavík Classic Puffin Watching tour, a delightful 1-hour boat excursion from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour, available daily from May through August.

Board a comfortable, stable boat equipped with raincoats et binoculars, ready to explore the nearby islands of Engey, Akurey, or Lundey, depending on tides and conditions. These islands are renowned for their abundant puffin populations during the summer months. While landing on the islands is prohibited to protect the nesting birds, the experienced captain will navigate close to the shores, allowing for excellent viewing opportunities without disturbing the wildlife. In addition to puffins, you may also spot other seabirds such as eider ducks, arctic terns, guillemots, and cormorants. If conditions permit, the captain might turn off the engines to enhance the experience, allowing you to enjoy the natural sounds of the birds and the surroundings. Throughout the tour, a knowledgeable guide will provide interesting facts and stories about the puffins and the local environment. The tour concludes back at the Old Harbour, offering a memorable wildlife experience just minutes from downtown Reykjavík.​

AVIS DES VOYAGEURS

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.

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.
