Important information

* All children under 12 must wear a life jacket * In the very unlikely case that you do not see any puffins, you can join another tour for free * Please bring a valid ID
  • Take a quick 15-minute boat ride from the coast of Reykjavik to Akurey and get up close to a colony of 30,000 puffins
  • Feel like you're in your own private nature documentary as an expert guide narrates the experience with amazing facts about puffins and their habitat
  • After arriving at the island, the boat's engine will be turned off to avoid disturbing the birds while they nest – letting you see the birds in their natural environment

The clowns of the sea, the penguins of the skies – puffins are downright adorable whatever you like to call them! Take a quick 15-minute boat ride from Reykjavik to Akurey, the puffin island, and get up close to a colony of 30,000 friendly little seabirds. A local guide will fill your head with amazing facts throughout the entire bird-watching expedition. Did you know that puffins can fly at an impressive 88km/hour? Their waddle is a little bit slower, but it's also a whole lot cuter!

Personable, professional crew. Spacious boat. Abundance of Puffins, swimming, flying, and waddling around the island. Our trip was enjoyable, and fortunately for us, the weather cooperated. My only complaint is that it is advertised that there are binoculars for everyone. That is not the case, and sadly, the people we sailed with that got a pair have never learned to share.
