The experience

About this tour

Join us for a fun and scenic 1-hour RIB speedboat tour from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour and experience the puffins of Faxaflói Bay up close.

This small-group tour takes you out on the water to the islands near Reykjavík, where puffins and other seabirds gather during the summer months. The RIB speedboat allows us to get closer to the birdlife in a respectful way, giving you a great chance to see these charming birds in their natural surroundings.

Along the way, you will also enjoy beautiful views of Reykjavík from the sea, with the colourful city skyline, Harpa Concert Hall, and the majestic Mount Esja creating a stunning backdrop.

This tour is perfect for nature lovers, families, photographers, or anyone looking for a short and memorable adventure on the water. With a small group on board, the experience feels more personal, exciting, and relaxed than a traditional sightseeing boat tour.

Please note that puffins are wild birds, so sightings can never be guaranteed, but during the puffin season this is one of the best ways to see them near Reykjavík.
