If you are in Reykjavik, short on time and rather sticker-shocked by the price of everything, first go to one of the municipal geothermal pools for a good dip. Then, grab a map and take a good stroll around the city. Then, if you _still _ have time, take this tour. It is quick and relatively cheap; the boat ride... More

Picked up by a very friendly driver. Very friendly people in the office and on the boat. Enjoyed (I'm a fishermen's daughter) the trip to the island. But... I really wanted to see puffins.. up close! All I saw where little black dots in the sky, with something orangy... I was disapointed.. :-( To see puffins up close you need... More

We very much enjoyed our outing with Puffin Express. Their boat was comfortable and warm on a rainy, chilly day. Our guide and boat captain made sure we had a great view of the birds and told us a bit about puffins other birds in the area and sea life in general. Our difficulty came after the trip when the...

A really good tour into the harbor and out to Lundy Island to see the puffins. We got pretty close and our tour guide Magnus had many interesting facts to supplement the beautiful scenery. A bonus was the guesthouse pick-up, which was helpful as I was staying all the way across town. This 10am tour is a great way to... More

A nice trip from the Old Harbor out into the bay. Friendly captain who gave us descriptions of the various birds we saw. Multiple departures to choose from; however, greatest chance of seeing the most puffins is on the first boat out. More

Very good one hour trip. Our guide said that week the birds were leaving by noon to go hunting on most days, so probably best to try for one of the am tours. We saw lots of puffins, very cute! More

We went to see the puffins with Puffin Express this last week, and because it was low tide, we weren't able to get very close to the island. The result was that we weren't able to see the puffins very well, especially because it was an overcast, cold, rainy day. That said, we will definitely be back to Iceland, and... More

It is neat to see the birds in action, but they are a bit too tentative to get near the boat. There is a pair of binoculars on board which helps, but don't expect to be petting them or anything. It is worthwhile to go just to get close to one of the offshore islands as well. The crew is... More

The Puffin Express runs four times daily at a cost of 3000 Kroner per adult, about half for children. The boat is small and the excursions are often sold out in advance, so stop by the small office down by the docks in the area of the whale watch boats to buy your tickets in advance. The trip is short;... More
