Puffin Watching Speedboat Express

About this activity

Our RIB speedboats are the fastest way to experience the wildlife and the city. Going on a tour in a boat like that is an experience by itself. So you'll move faster and get closer to the puffins!

During the tour, you will learn from our guide about the puffins and other wildlife found in the islands around Reykjavík City. With the boat having only 12 seats, you will have personal access to the guide should you have any questions.

Our warm overalls help you stay warm duringt the tour so you can focus on experiencing the wildlife!

Itinerary

Experience the puffin in its natural habitat in the islands just outside Reykjavík City. Our luxurious 12 seat RIB speedboat ensures a small group experience with a personal encounter with the wildlife and the guide. Our rib speedboats are very fast so you'll get quickly to the islands around Reykjavík and spend the majority of the tour in a close encounter with the puffins. When we arrive at the islands we turn off the engines to make sure you enjoy the wildlife quietly.
