Description
Puffin and bird watching on a boat is a fun and educational thing to do with friends and your family.
Summer is the best time to experience the birds and wildlife of the bay and islands outside Reykjavik.
The puffin islands are small islands located in the bay outside of Reykjavik. It ́s only 15 minutes sailing from Reykjavík Old harbour, from where we depart.
Atlantic Puffins are the most common bird in Iceland (about 3.3 million birds). Puffins have colonies on the island of Akurey ( 15.000 pairs) and on the island of Lundey (10.000 pairs).
The fishing boat Saga only takes a maximum of 20 passengers in a tour and therefore we provide more personal service than other similar tours. Good space and good viewpoints for all our passengers. These are the best seats!
The boat is located in the heart of the Old harbour, next to Víkin Maritime Museum.
If you are coming from the city center (5-10 min walk), you need to pass the first dock, the hamburger place (Hamborgarabúlla Tómasar) and Reykjavík Marina Hotel, until you see a sign marked: „Hlésgata“. There you will see our sign down by the small pier ,,happytours.is“. We are located on the other side of the large shipyard, where the large ships are on land for repairing
