All aboard for an unforgettable puffin-watching boat trip from Reykjavík.

Get up close to these charming seabirds on a wildlife tour from the Icelandic capital. After making your way to the city harbor, you’ll hop aboard and travel just 15 minutes out to sea.

From here, you’ll sail to the island of Akurey while your expert guide shares fun facts about puffins, and any other wildlife you spot. Seeing these charismatic cuties – sometimes called 'sea parrots' – will make the trip well worth it!

Plus, when the weather’s calm, your boat can get right up to the island’s cliffs and grassy slopes. So you can enjoy even better views of the puffins.

Good to know: Iceland’s summer weather might be chillier than you’re used to, and it’ll likely feel colder at sea than in the city. This means you’ll want to come prepared with wind and waterproof layers.

Please make sure to check in 30 minutes before your tour starts.
