Itinerary and highlights

The tour starts and ends by our ticket office at the Reykjavík's Old Harbour. Here you arrive 30 minutes prior to the departure to get ready for the tour and the guide then walks you down to the boat which is docked at the Harbour.

On the tour we sail close by 2-3 islands where the puffins are nesting. The islands are nature reserves so we stay on the boat during the tour but we get you extra close to the islands on our RIB speedboats

Meeting and pickup information

  • Our ticket office is conveniently located at the Old Harbour in downtown Reykjavík - Ægisgarður 5D. Right at the corner of the harbour across the street from a variety of shops and restaurants.
