Classic Puffin Watching Cruise from Downtown Reykjavík Discount Tickets

Overview

This tour offers a memorable way to experience Iceland's wildlife, just minutes from downtown Reykjavík. Depending on the tides and conditions on the islands our captains will take you to either Engey, Akurey or Lundey, which are well known for their plentiful birdlife. In addition to puffins you have the opportunity to view other birds such as eider ducks, arctic terns, guillemots and cormorants. You may also see seals, adding to the excitement of the tour. Our crew will share interesting facts about puffins against the scenic backdrop of rocky shores, and if the weather is good, we might turn off the engines so you can enjoy the natural sounds!

Meeting and Pickup

Redemption Instructions

This ticket is valid on a 1-1,5 hr. Puffin tour departing from the Old Harbour in Reykjavík. Please be aware that the weather can change rapidly in Iceland and therefore the captain could decide to cancel the tour on short notice for safety reasons. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need further information regarding your booking. Note that as Puffins are wild animals we cannot control their behaviour or how many we will see. We abide by a Code of Conduct in order not to disrupt the nesting and/or resting birds. It’s good to check the tides before the tour as we can get closer to the islands on high tides.
