This is your chance to see these cute birds on a 1-hour boat ride just minutes away from Reykjavik city center. Enjoy an inexpensive &amp; charming adventure!
The Puffin Express tour has been popular for over 20 years! Our great experience and especially designed boat, Skúlaskeið (“Old Skuli”), makes us the leading expert in the area. There are about 30.000 puffins nesting on the islands off the coast of Reykjavik, and we are only a 15-minute boat ride away!
We sail out from the old harbor in Reykjavik to reach the puffin island, Akurey. On the journey out you will be able to view Reykjavik from the seaside [remember your camera], and the guide will also share information about the buildings &amp; islands that can be spotted along the way.
The islands we visit are covered with small hills and slopes and are well known for colorful birdlife. The island’s shores are rocky, but our boat Old Skuli is specially designed to take us as close to the islands as possible due to its shallow draft. When we arrive to the islands we’ll turn off the engine you can peacefully observe the birds and the beautiful surroundings.
Your expert guide will tell you all the facts and fun stories about the cute puffins and other wildlife you might see on the tour.
