Reykjavík Premium Puffin Watching

Departing from the Old Harbour in Reykjavík, this high-speed puffin adventure is the fastest and most convenient way to get up close to Iceland’s beloved seabirds. Available from late April to mid-August during the puffins’ breeding season, the tour offers a chance to witness the vibrant birdlife of Faxaflói Bayjust minutes from the city center. Summer is the best time to experience this spectacle, with puffins, auks, gannets, and various other seabirds filling the skies and nesting along the rocky cliffs of nearby islands.

What sets this tour apart is the use of custom-made RIB boats that allow us to approach the puffin-inhabited islands with incredible proximity. These agile boats give a thrilling ride while also being respectful to the environment—engines are turned off whenever possible to preserve the peace of nature. As you sail, your expert guide and captain will share captivating stories and facts about the puffins, their habitat, and the rich natural beauty of the surrounding bay.
