Description
Check-in at our ticket office
The tour starts and ends by our ticket office at the Reykjavík's Old Harbour. Here you arrive 30 minutes prior to the departure to get ready for the tour. This involves signing a safety waiver, and putting on our incredibly fashionable warm overalls & all necessary safety equipment. The guide then walks you down to the boat which is docked at the Harbour. There are very few things that will beat the experience of seeing the puffins and other bird-life up close as you can get at sea level from our RIB boats.
Visit the Puffins on their Islands
We visit the puffins in their natural habitat, at the Islands of Akurey, Engey or Lundey just outside of Reykjavík. The journey here is a short one, and we spend around 50 minutes with the Puffins, often going to 2 of the three islands with Puffins. Our experienced Captains know the best vantage spots to get the best view of them. Puffins, auks, gannets and an incredible variety of other sea birds dominate the skies and sea cliffs just a few minutes sailing from the Old Harbour. Our RIB's are fast and small so we get you extra close and extra quickly out to the islands!
Back to the Harbour
Finally, after a great adventure at sea, we head back to the harbour! We arrive approximately one hour after the tour start time. Then it‘s time to get out of your warm overalls and recuperate in our service center. We have WCs and information available inside so you can plan your next steps in Reykjavík. Be sure to check we have your correct email so we can send you any photos (if taken) that the guide took on your tour!
