Reykjavik Premium Papageientaucher-Tour | Nahaufnahme und persönlich

12 person RIB boat pretty much ensures you will get close to the Puffins. We saw over a thousand, and were able to get good shots with my iphone. Our guide Rachel was very knowledgeable and answered all questions.

Took speedboat to the islands in Reykjavik Bay. Puffins surrounded us randomly as they dove, fished, and returned to the island to feed their young. Maria is a marine biologist who gave us a lesson on the lifecycle and impact of the puffin on the local ecosystem. They are very cute also and make for awesome photographs too! PS: I decided to do this after learning that Elding is the vendor. We had an awesome whale watching experience with Elding last week!

Well organised and with enough information given beforehand. Our guide had good knowledge about the puffins and the other water birds that we saw. The only issue was that the RIB boats, being light, kept bouncing around, so it was difficult to focus either camera or binoculars. The puffin pictures shared later by the company was also nothing great. The whole experience of the rib boat ride in red overalls was wonderful, though.

A wonderful time seeing the puffins on two islands in the bay. All safety precautions and climate protection provided as well as binoculars made available. Seeing these small birds whizz by is awesome. Hannah was a knowledgeable guide and receiving professional photos after the tour was an unexpected bonus.

I didn’t get as close to the puffins as I would’ve liked but our wonderful tour guide took pictures with a really nice camera and sent them to anyone who wanted them.

Overall ai had a nice time on this experience. The people were professional and organized. I think based on how it was described I was hoping to be closer to the puffins. Also, the boat only stayed on the opposite side of me so it was harder to see with people in front of me, they did not move the boat around so both sides of people can get clear sights/pictures. They said they would send their professional pictures they took after but I still haven’t received.

Everything about this tour was excellent. We were worried about getting wet, but the suits they give you keep you both dry and warm. Our guide Mia is super friendly and had answer for all the questions we had. The boat ride out was exciting for the kids, but comfortable enough for their grandmother to enjoy as well. Thankfully the puffins were out and very active the day we went out. We had plenty of time to take all the pictures we wanted and made several passes of the breeding island. The fact that Mai took a bunch of photos that was provided to us was just an extra bonus. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Seen a lot of Puffins! Very nice.

Very rich experience. Excellent guide. But don't take valuables with you because there are no safety locks where you can put your things.

Easy to find location at the harbor. We went end of May. They provide one piece coveralls type flotation suit which blocked the wind and cold too so didn't need so many layers of clothes. Sizes up to 4xl. Also had to wear a life vest. They had lockers to put our day packs in (not allowed on boat). They provided binoculars to everyone (but I used my own). 2 guides/boat drivers were excellent. Boat brought us near to puffins at 2 islands. Puffins are only 7 inches tall so iphone cameras only catches them very small. But tour guide also takes pics with telephoto lens which they email to everyone after. Only got a little wet in face from water spray - otherwise stayed dry. Great experience to see puffins in person! Loved that this was a short tour as one of us gets easily seasick but they got to enjoy seeing the puffins too! Highly recommend!
