Experience the thrill of puffin watching on a classic cruise from downtown Reykjavík.
What you'll do
Seeing puffins in their natural habitat can be challenging because they tend to nest on rocky cliffs close to water. However, this tour from Reykjavik increases your chances of spotting puffins and other bird species. The tour takes you out on a boat to either Akurey or Lundey, two islands known for their abundant birdlife. In addition to puffins, you may also spot eider ducks, arctic terns, guillemots, and cormorants.
