When your cruise ship docks at Reykjavik Port, take a 1-hour shore excursion to Akurey Island to see where one of Iceland’s largest colony of puffins live! Choose from four different start times, and after a 15-minute cruise, glide around the island, seeing its puffins and other native bird life like Black Guillemots and Arctic Terns. Learn about the captivating wildlife from an onboard guide and then return to Reykjavik.

This was the last Puffin Watch of the season - and we saw groups of them in the water and on the cliffs. Lots of really good information - need to do it again in the spring!

So glad we booked the minivan trip from the port to Special Tours offices as the walk would have been too much. Despite it being the end of the season we did get to see some Puffins. Our guide onboard the boat as well as the minivan driver were very informative

The tour guide was awesome. Very informative. We saw a lot of puffins I only wish we could have gotten a closer look.

Amazing, amazing, amazing!
The crew gets you really close to the puffins, there are soo many of them flying by and over your head as well as bobbing along on the water and wandering about on the island itself.
I was nervous as I'd seen reviews saying the birds are soo small you can't even see them. I've come to the conclusion these reviewers should have gone to specsavers.

The guide was very informative! The boat was small so fewer persons than on other boats. The boat had a shallower draft so we could get a little closer to the island where the Puffins were nesting

Short trip out to the island where there were loads of Puffins and other bird. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide made it all the more interesting.

A very nice trip.
I would recommend booking an earlier time since there were fewer people and we got to see the puffins looking for breakfast.

Your guide was funny and informative, lots of puffins to see, such an easy boat ride and not too crowded. Loved the experience!

I'm sorry to say but this excursion was very underwhelming. It was a big group of folks (31). We went near the island but couldn't really see the puffins and binoculars were not offered. Also, we weren't required to put on lifejackets which is poor water safety. A few facts about Puffins were offered, but I would have liked way more information to keep us engaged. I would definitely NOT recommend this excursion. It was pricey as well and not worth it in my opinion. However, I did do several other tours that I booked through Viator that were awesome - South Coast tour and Golden Circle for example - I would recommend those over this excursion.

We had great weather for our boat ride to see the Puffins. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we got to see the Puffins around their burrow’s, in the water and flying around our boat.
