Whole group (6 of us) enjoyed this trip—grandparents, teens, all! Crew was knowledgeable, and the captain slowed down whenever someone spotted a puffin close by. Didn’t feel rushed at all. Puffins are soooo adorable in person.

Solid tour. Boat was comfortable, guide answered all our questions. Puffins were mostly far away but saw a few fly right by us.

Pretty cool experience. Not crazy about birds but my wife is, so we went. Crew knew a lot about all the birds in the area. Saw puffins, gulls, and something called a razorbill (never heard of that before).

Went with my partner and we both loved it. Boat was clean, not crowded at all. Guide was super passionate and made learning about puffins fun (we even learned their Icelandic name!). Bring layers, it gets cold.

Nice little tour. Saw more puffins than I expected. Guide had some good stories about the birds. A bit chilly, so dress warm.

Booked the early morning slot, less crowded. Puffins were there, flying and sitting on rocks. Binoculars were a bit scratched up but still worked. Bring a hat, wind is STRONG out there.

Went in the afternoon, not too busy. Puffins everywhere! Crew let me use their own binoculars for a better look. Very sweet people.

Went with my girlfriend and we had a BLAST! The guide told us so much about puffin life (did you know they mate for life?? wild). Boat wasn’t too crowded and the views were EPIC! Puffins everywhere, flying and swimming. Would totally do this again.
