The Puffin Express Reykjavík adventure starts at the Old Harbour of Reykjavík and they only take about one hour. Your operator for the day has more than 20 years of experience, and the especially designed boat, Skúlaskeið or “Old Skuli”, ensure that you’ll have an excellent experience.
The tour
Lundey and Akurey are two small islands located in the Reykjavík bay area, only 15 minutes away from Reykjavík‘s Old harbour, from where the tour departs. The islands are covered with small hills and slopes and both are well known for their colorful birdlife. The island‘s shores are rocky but Old Skuli is especially designed to take you as close to the islands as possible due to its shallow draught. When your boat arrives to the islands your captain will turn off the engine so passengers can observe the birds and the beautiful surroundings in total silence. Your expert guide will tell you all about the Puffins and other birds of interest that are often seen on the Puffin watching tours.
Other birds spotted include Northern Fulmars, Gulls, Arctic Terns, and Black Guillemots.
The Puffin Express Iceland tour is very cozy and comfortable, and it only takes about one hour. A very convenient tour for those who want to make the most out of their precious time here in Iceland.
