Activity description

Leave the city behind and set sail towards some feathery locals with this ultimate puffin adventure from Reykjavík.

Summertime in Reykjavík is not complete without experiencing the wildlife of its surrounding bay and islands. This RIB boat adventure will open your eyes to the way puffins live during the months of May to August.

Departing from the Old Harbour in Reykjavík, a customized RIB boat will take you up close to watch these entertaining little animals. Each boat can only seat 12 passengers so the tour stays small and personal. Your expert local guide will provide interesting facts and tales about the puffins and will gladly answer any questions you might have. Once you get close to the islands, your guide will switch the engines off to give the birds (and you!) a quiet experience. You can expect to also catch sightings of auks, gannets and the incredible variety of other sea birds dominating the skies and sea cliffs. Once the fun adventure has come to an end, you will cruise back to the harbour.
