Reykjavík Premium Puffin Tour
This is the ultimate puffin adventure tour, only a few minutes from Reykjavík's city centre! Enjoy an uninterrupted visit to the puffins and seabirds of the Faxaflói Bay on this small-group RIB boat tour.
Departing from the Old Harbour in Reykjavík, this is the fastest and most convenient way to see puffins and embark on the ultimate puffin adventure! The tour is available during the puffins' breeding season, typically from late April to mid-August.
Summer is the ideal time to witness the vibrant birdlife of the bay and islands just outside Reykjavík. Puffins, auks, gannets, and a stunning variety of other seabirds fill the skies and cling to the sea cliffs just minutes from the Old Harbour, right in the heart of the city.
What makes this tour truly special is the use of our custom-made RIB boats, designed to bring you as close as possible to the islands. Whenever possible, we turn off the engines completely, allowing you and the birds to experience the tranquility of nature. Throughout the tour, your guide and captain will share fascinating facts and stories about the puffins and the beautiful surroundings.
