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.

We enjoyed the tour. Weather was good with some choppiness of the water going out but smooth coming back. There were lots of puffins to be seen. Attached is a picture taken with 200mm zoom. I have another picture which was better but too big to load. Mel, our guide, did a good jpb with pertinent info on the birds

This was a brief but wonderful way to see puffins in Iceland from downtown Reykjavík. Mel was a wonderful guide and the entire experience was positive from start to finish.

It was very cold, but a very wonderful experience, the guide was very knowledgeable and they got us pretty close to the island!

Photos from website are not what you see. Didn’t get even close to the island. Could barely see with binoculars. Could not get good pictures. Would not do again.

Good experience. Able to see the puffins sitting on the shore, as well as flying all around the boat.
Weather was not the best but not something the tour place can control. They did their best to take the boat as close as they could based on the weather. It’s worth the experience to see the puffins.

Cute tour for adults and kids! About 1.5 total. Our boat driver and guide knew so much about different birds we saw along the way which was great. You get pretty close to the island and can see the puffins nesting and flying which was great.

Tour left on time and went for he advertised length of time. Tour guide, Joel, was very friendly and his presentation was informative and delivered in an entertaining manner. The boat's captain manoeuvred the boat to allow for ample opportunities to photograph the puffins. A great experience.

Puffin trip so nice. This little mini-excursion put you up close to puffin island. It is a small cozy historical vessel, that was a fun sight-seeing cruise. You must checkin to the special tours office, 15 minutes before departure for your boarding pass. Company provides great commentary and binoculars.
If you have a high powered long lens camera, bring it. Crew was fantastic. Recommend
