Highlights
See puffins up close on the puffin express tour from Reykjavik. The specially designed boat takes you close to the rocky shore of Akurey island to see the lovely seabirds in their natural environment. Learn about the puffins and other seabirds in the area from your knowledgeable onboard guide.
Itinerary
Following pickup at your hotel in Reykjavík
(if option selected), board the comfortable puffin express boat for a 15-minute cruise to Akurey, an island known for its puffin population, just off the coast of Reykjavik.
Puffins nest between May and August on this island, which is covered with small hills and slopes and known for its colorful bird life. As the island's shores are rocky, your puffin-watching boat is specially designed to get you as close to the shoreline as possible, so you can get an up-close look at these adorable creatures!
On board, learn from your expert guide about the puffins as well as other interesting seabirds that you may spot on the tour, such as northern fulmars, gulls, arctic terns and black guillemots. Enjoy watching the sweet seabirds nesting and diving into the sea to get food.
When you arrive at the Akurey shore, circle around the island for more observation time before the captain turns the engines off, allowing you to enjoy the peace and quiet among Iceland’s natural treasures.
You have the choice of five departure times throughout the day (up to seven departures from June-August) to suit your Iceland itinerary.

Short 15 minutes’’ boat ride to the puffin island from Reykjavik harbour : Saw many puffins flying above from afar. So disappointed that we couldn’t see the puffins up close: They are rather small birds compared to the seagulls: There were many other species of birds around too so not easy to spot which ones were Puffins. Binoculars were provided but waves were so strong it was difficult to even hold them steadily The only good point was that you see their natural habitat: With the money that we have paid for this activity, it’s really not worth it and a waste of time: If you still want to go on this tour, advisable to take motion sickness pills cos the waves was rather strong: 2 Guides were nice and knowledgeable about the puffins so feel free to ask them lots of questions
