Set sail from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour for an unforgettable puffin watching cruise along Iceland’s scenic coastline. This guided boat tour brings you up close to the charming puffins that flock to the islands near the city each summer, offering a unique opportunity to observe these iconic birds in their natural habitat.
Depending on the day’s tides and weather, your captain will navigate to Engey, Akurey, or Lundey—three islands renowned for their thriving birdlife. As you glide near these protected nature reserves, you’ll spot not only puffins but also eider ducks, arctic terns, guillemots, and cormorants. Keep an eye out for playful seals that sometimes make an appearance.
Your knowledgeable crew will share fascinating facts about Iceland’s wildlife and the puffins’ remarkable journey. If conditions allow, the engines may be turned off so you can soak in the peaceful sounds of nature, creating a truly immersive experience against the rocky coastal backdrop.
The cruise lasts approximately 1 to 1.5 hours and is suitable for all fitness levels. Binoculars and raincoats are provided on board, and you’re welcome to bring your own camera for capturing unforgettable moments. The boat accommodates small groups of up to 15, ensuring a personal and comfortable adventure.
Along the way, enjoy unique views of Reykjavík’s landmarks, including the striking Harpa Concert Hall and the iconic Hallgrímskirkja Church. Secure your spot on this popular wildlife cruise—puffin season is short, so check availability and book your place today!
