Marvelous opportunity to view puffin colony nesting on an island near downtown Reykjavik. The boat crew was informative and friendly talking about the habit of the puffins on the way. A wonderful experience.
We saw so many puffins on our tour. The guide and captain, of the ship, were knowledgeable and gave us an amazing tour.
This was a nice boat ride out to see puffins. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. This was a fun experience.
It was a very nice short excursion. The guide Christina was great with info and enthusiasm. The captain did great to help us stay close to the islands for great views.
The binoculars are available on the boat to see the puffins that live on a protected island near Reykjavik; these birds are so small that we cannot observe them from a distance.
Beautiful day touring Iceland. Enjoying seeing the waterfalls, glaciers and the famous black beach. I have never been so cold being on a beach in June!
Had a great time seeing the puffins as well as a seal who popped up near the boat. Alessio, Blanca, and Patrick were our guides and captain respectively and they made our experience fantastic. Would definitely go again.
I did not know this island inhabited by puffins; there are thousands of them in June. They are so small that from the boat, you need binoculars to see them, which are provided on board, fortunately. The weak point: the windows inside are dirty, you can hardly see through...
A short one hour trip to the island in Reykjavik harbor where thousands? Hundreds? of puffins nest during mating season. Puffins everywhere! Our guide Eloise was knowledgeable and very funny. Great trip!
