Exciting 1.5-Hour Puffin Watching and Boat Tour from Reykjavik Old Harbor

Step aboard an unforgettable wildlife and sea adventure in Iceland by joining this puffin watching boat tour from Reykjavik. Adventurers and nature lovers who want an up close and personal encounter with Iceland's most charming seabirds should book a spot on this small-group tour today.

The exciting adventure begins in the Old Harbor of Reykjavik, where your tour guide and boat ride await you. This location is accessible and easy to locate as it's just a few minutes walk from the city center or downtown area.

Before boarding the boat, make sure to bundle up with weatherproof clothing with warm layers. Weather in Iceland can be unpredictable and it can be more windy when you're out in the sea.

After meeting the boat crew and the rest of the tour joiners, the boat sets sail into the beautiful Faxafloi bay. The fertile waters of this bay make it ideal for aquatic animals and seabirds to thrive all year round. If the skies are clear, you may also see the mountains and cliffs surrounding Reykjavik on distant shores.

Your destination for this trip is the small island of Lundey, nestled within the vast embrace of Faxafloi bay. The island's rocky coastline, punctuated by lush slopes, provides an excellent nesting ground for an array of seabirds. 

Its most famous residents are puffins, known for their boldly colored beaks and black and white plumage. Besides puffins, the island also boasts colonies of guillemots, fulmars, razorbills, and kittiwakes.

Lundey and its neighboring islands are uninhabited and stand as a protected nature reserve because of their diverse ecosystem. Although you won't be able to step foot on the puffin island, your boat will take you close to its slopes to admire the seabirds in their natural habitat. 

Guiding your journey is a local expert whose insights will deepen your appreciation of puffins, their behaviors, and the island's pivotal role in their conservation. You will also learn of their migratory patterns and their distinctive feeding habits. Feel free to ask the guide questions at any point during the tour.

To ensure an optimal birdwatching experience, your tour package includes cozy blankets to shield you from the brisk sea breeze. Binoculars are also at your disposal, guaranteeing you can revel in the charming behaviors of puffins and the island's breathtaking vistas. 

While the tour immerses you in nature's wonders, your comfort remains paramount. Savor the warmth of freshly brewed coffee, further enhancing the sense of coziness as you bask in the sights.

After a satisfying sea adventure and birdwatching, the boat will take you back to the Old Harbor, marking the end of this tour.
