Fun time!

My husband and I decided to book this on our last day in Iceland, and I am so glad we did! The boat tour was a great way to end our trip. Our guide was knowledgeable and truly cared about helping us see the birds. The boat ride was not rough at all.

Puffins are beautiful.

Very nice trip to two islands outside the harbor with plenty of puffins! Professional host Anna gave lots of information. Her photos of the trip that we received via email were also an added value.

Good Day.

Very Good Trip - Very well Organised and very well Run. Felt Safe all the time. Not as, "Physical", as you might expect. Good and Helpful Guides - Adam, Naina, Tarzan, Andy, and the Driver ( forgot his name...), and there was another Boatman, ( also forgot his name...). Lastly Sara, in the Office, for helping with the Special Transport Requests, for my Disability, and for Transporting us, back and fourth, to our Cruise Ship. Thanks.

Puffin’s Everywhere!

Great experience! Got up close to see lots of Puffin’s! Crew members were friendly, and they sent us some great photos afterwards!
