Puffin Watching in Reykjavik

Puffin watching is a must-do activity on your trip to Reykjavik. Cruise around the Icelandic islands, admiring their rugged beauty and discovering the large populations of puffins that live there.

Puffin Watching in Reykjavik

The best time to see puffins in Reykjavik is between May and August, when they return to Iceland after wintering at sea. After boarding the boat, we will sail north to visit islands with the largest puffin populations. The guide will provide information about puffins, including their monogamous nature and nesting habits. You'll also see other birds such as the common eider, arctic tern, and cormorants. The tour lasts for an hour before returning to the departure port.

What island will we visit?

The boat captain will determine which Reykjavik island to visit based on the best puffin sighting opportunities, considering tides and weather. Possible islands include Engey, Akurey, or Lundey. We will not disembark to avoid disturbing the birds but will get close to their coasts.
