Experience the magic of Iceland’s wildlife on a one-hour puffin watching cruise departing from Reykjavik. Glide across the bay toward nearby islands, where colorful puffins nest during the summer months. Watch these charming birds in their natural habitat, accompanied by a knowledgeable naturalist guide who shares fascinating insights.
Depending on the weather and tides, your boat will head to Akurey, Engey, or Lundey, all renowned for their vibrant birdlife. Besides puffins, keep an eye out for eider ducks, arctic terns, guillemots, and more as you explore the rocky shores. The captain will maneuver close to the best viewing spots for unforgettable photo opportunities.
Onboard, you’ll have access to binoculars, making it easy to spot the comparatively small puffins from the deck. Stay comfortable with complimentary warm overalls, raincoats, and blankets, ensuring you remain cozy no matter the weather. Authentic seaman’s coffee is available for purchase to keep you warm.
Before or after your cruise, visit the Whale Watching Centre at the harbor to browse fascinating exhibits and learn more about Iceland’s marine life. By joining this tour, you support local wildlife research and responsible tourism initiatives, making your adventure both memorable and meaningful.
Tours last about one hour and are conducted in English, with small group sizes for a personal experience. Puffin watching season is short, so don’t miss your chance to witness these “clowns of the ocean” up close. Check availability and book your spot now for an unforgettable Reykjavik adventure.
