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

It’s a short journey to watch the Puffins and the guide is very knowledgeable and helpful.

I have seen Puffins in Newfoundland and Ireland. But Iceland is the closest I have ever got to them.
Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that Iceland gave you your closest puffin encounter yet. It's always special to see these amazing birds up close, and we're glad you enjoyed the experience with us.
The boat ride to see the puffins exceeded our expectations! The captain maneuvered the boat into good positions to see the puffins. We had excellent narration of the life of a puffin plus looked at a scrapbook she’d prepared. The added bonus was seeing four whales! Our lucky day! Highly recommend this group!

The tour was wonderful. The tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about Iceland's wildlife. I loved seeing the zip through the sky and float on the water. My only constructive feedback - we were originally supposed to be on a smaller boat, which would have allowed to get closer to the puffins. Instead we were changed to a larger boat that couldn't get as close.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that our guide's knowledge and passion for Iceland's wildlife helped make the experience memorable. Watching puffins soar through the sky and bob on the water is always a special sight! We also appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the boat change. Operational circumstances occasionally require us to use a different vessel than originally planned, and we're sorry that this meant you weren't able to get as close to the puffins as expected. Thank you for your understanding, and we're glad you still had a great experience overall. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
