Great tour for Puffin watching
Best tour I have been on! Super fun time, even though it was the end of the Puffin season, we saw plenty and as a bonus we got to be right next to a baby calf whale feeding. The team went above and beyond!

Stellar crew. Christina,...
Stellar crew. Christina, Sammy, and Hjalmar got us to the island, gave a great narrative of life there. Saw puffins and a surprise guest of a young humpback whale in the harbor. Can't say enough about the passion and knowledge of the crew.

Don't count on the communication they send you
The afternoon cruise was canceled. They wanted me to book earlier, but I arrived that day and didn't want to chance it. I emailed the address shown on the cancelation notice, and the mail didn't go through. I tried several more times to no avail.

Too late for Puffin sightings!
The guides were delightful. It was the last puffin cruise for the year. The puffins are very seasonal and had already left for the year. It was as if they got the memo that ICE was looking for them! They had vanished!
Christina did her best and kept us entertained with whale sightings. I’ve already seen whales but never puffins.
I didn’t know until I got ready to board the boat it was the last cruise of the year. Buyer beware if booking mid to late August.
事業者からの返答
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry that you didn't get to see as many puffins as you had hoped.
Puffins are migratory birds, and while they generally begin leaving Iceland in August, the exact timing varies from year to year and can be influenced by weather conditions. As with all wildlife tours, sightings can never be guaranteed.
We're glad to hear that Christina kept the tour enjoyable and entertaining, and that you were able to spot whales during the trip. Thank you for your kind words about her efforts. We understand that it can be disappointing when wildlife doesn't appear as expected, especially when puffins are the main reason for joining the tour.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on a future visit to Iceland.

Awesome tour
This was an amazing experience, in one hour we saw so many puffin, on the island and flying around the boat a lot with fish.
We also saw a whale close to the boat.
The crew was very nice and accommodating
Would highly recommend
