We had a knowledgeable guide who helped us appreciate the lives that these cute birds live. Our captain brought us close to the islands, close enough that some puffins flew overhead. These birds are small--slightly larger than pigeons, so you need binoculars to see and a good lens to capture them. This was a great value--and one of the few places to see these lovely birds that may be heading toward extinction. Tourists in Iceland should unite in never ordering them on a menu!

Easy to get to. Just enough time.

This tour brings you to two small islands off the harbor of Reykjavik. The tour guide was great and informative and you were able to hear her clearly. She told good facts that were interesting. The boat was small and was rocky, but not scary or unsafe. Wear a hat or scarf if you prefer to reduce the wind hitting you. There is an indoor space too if you do not want to be exposed to the weather. Seeing the puffins was awesome! We seen a bunch on the island, flying, and in the water. You do not get overly close to the island. But within a good enough distance to where you can still see them with the naked eye. However, if you want a more up close and personal tour, this wouldn't be the one. This one is quick, easy, simple, and gives you just enough time and viewpoints to get pictures, experience the puffins, and then come back. Awesome tour!

Puffins Galore!

Such a fun and quick excursion. In just two hours we were able to see puffins in two separate islands, in the water and in the air. Our guide was really great at pointing them out to us. Even though the weather wasn’t great (a little chilly and some light drizzle) the experience was! Definitely dress accordingly especially if you decide to sit in the outside area of the boat.
