Nice scenic ride. Saw...

Nice scenic ride. Saw puffins even though it was near the end of the season. The guide informed us of many interesting things about the area and the puffins.

Fantastic tour. Landscape...

Fantastic tour. Landscape was so green and beautiful. Puffins were really close by. Some steps to reach the top of the cliff.

Perfect for Puffins

Fantastic! Harold was awesome and provided interesting and informative information. Lots of puffins even though late in the season. Beautiful scenery of Iceland. 100% worth it!

Memorable Adventure!

We enjoyed Kirsten’s perspective on Iceland being formerly from Maine. We were fortunate to see an abundance of Puffins. The waterfall is the first of many that we will see but it is impressive. Kirsten saved 17 stranded tourists from another tour company. We happened to have 17 seats free on our bus. Great she/we could help these fellow travelers. We had a memorable adventure.
