Mr. Puffin – Bird Watching Reykjavík

This was an absolutely fantastic experience. Well worth the money. We seen thousands of puffin’s nesting on the cliffs of a small island. We were able to get up close and personal with these beautiful birds. Our guide was awesome! He was incredibly knowledgeable, not just about puffin, but many other sea birds. Both the guide and the captain of the boat, were friendly, helpful and entertaining!

Absolutely incredible tour! We saw thousands of puffins and got so close! Our guide was lovely and very informative. We will definitely be back! Thanks from Australia!!

We booked this trip direct with Mr Puffin following a bit on online research. So glad we did. They are a well organised crew that made the whole experience from booking in to getting changed nice and simple. The Rib we went out on was in good shape, our guide was excellent, and we saw everything we had hoped for and more. Nice touches included binoculars for those that didn’t have their own, and a link to pics the guide took with his Digital SLR camera sent the day after the trip. We only had a couple of days in Reykjavik on a cruise, and this was a great way to spend some of that time. We’d definitely recommend, and would look to book one of their other trips if we are back there again. Well worth 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The company dressed us nice and warm with full suits, hats, gloves, goggles, etc… in case you forgot your gear. The puffin nesting islands were only about 10 minutes away. The boat was equipped with these wonderful cushioned seats that moved with the boat, including handles on the seat in front of you. You must stay on the boat away from the puffins; there’s no getting on the island. Although they attempt to get as close as possible, it’s very difficult to get good pictures with just a phone. Other than that, the guide told us all about the puffins. They also shared their photos taken with a big lens camera.

The premium puffin tour wasn't worth the cost. The first stop was an island with no puffins. The boat then chased puffins in the water but they were very shy and flew away when we got close. While there were many tiny puffins visible, the provided binoculars were blurry and useless. Nobody on the boat used them. Overall, it was an overpriced tour.
