      Amazing!
      The tour was incredible! We saw puffins, whales and seals in their natural habitat, and the landscape was stunning. Don't miss this unforgettable adventure if you are in the east of Iceland.

      Breathtaking
      Exhilarating boat ride in a very powerful rib boat. The most beautiful location in Iceland, with a view that has previously been unaccessible to all except coastal fishermen. The tour takes you to cliffsides and locations you can not hike to and the views are breathtaking. The wildlife is also amazing. We saw whales, dolphins, seals and plenty of birds. I will definitely be going back to experience again, as well as going a bit earlier in the summertime, when the cliffs are filled with puffin.

      Best tour in East Iceland
      Best boat tour in Iceland hands down, we got super lucky and saw few seals, whales and dolphins playing around and the humor from the guide and captain was superb. Cant recommend this company enough, bravo!

      THE best trip you can take in Iceland
      THE best trip you can take while in Iceland. We saw gorgeous and beautiful sides of Iceland that I have never seen before, and I've lived here my entire life. An absolute 10/10 stars. Could not recommend it enough.

      Great experience with a top team
      It was an incredible tour. We had the feeling that we were flying over the water together with the birds. A great, young team. We wish you every success.

      You'll have a boat load of fun!
      I went on a tour with Puffin Adventures and it was absolutely wonderful! We saw so many puffins and seals it was crazy! The boat is incredible, it's very powerful but feels so smooth cutting through the water. And the tour guide and driver were extremely professional but also very funny and very handsome. Honestly it was one of the best things I've done in Iceland, and in that tiny village too! What a find! Just go, seriously you won't regret it!!

    Perfect tour by Magnus, the RIB boat allowed us great access to the puffins, we also got a great ride along the coast and we saw sea lions. The RIB boat also allowed us to throttle down and make some exciting turns. This is a must do tour....well worth it!

    This was the funniest experience we had on the island.
    The tour guides were very friendly and funny.
    The bird rocks were amazing, the water was turquoise blue, and we felt like we were flying over the sea with the puffins. Seals stuck their heads out of the water.
    we had a great time. Thank you so much

    This was an amazing tour, my favorite if our trip! We saw a ton of puffins in some beautiful cliffs, seals, and humpback whales. We even saw a whale jump out of the water, multiple times! The brothers were super nice and knowledgeable. Riding the boat also felt like an amusement park ride, it was super fun.

    Excellent tour with experienced tour operators ! The weather was not the best but we enjoyed it very much. Family of four with two teenagers who had never been on a rib boat before. We saw seals, puffins and more seabirds. The landscape seen from the sea was amazing. The guides made us feel safe and their knowledge of the nature there was very good.

    The most exciting part of our Iceland round trip so far! What a wonderful way of experiencing the wildlife and nature around the cute little town of Borgarfjörður eystri. Favorite parts were seeing multiple seals sunbathing and speeding along the sea, feeling the breeze on a warm summer day. The brothers were also full of interesting facts about the area, as well as jokes!
    Highly recommend!

    Me and my sister were fortunate enough to stumble upon Puffin Adventures boat tour while visiting the Puffin Marina in the east region of Iceland. The views are just amazing, plenty of puffins and other wildlife, the staff had very good vibes. This is a trip I'll never forget :)

    This is the most amazing boat tour in iceland!
    We have done puffin tour in two other locations, and this is definitely much much better, more over, this is the best whales watching tour we've been in!
    Better than from husvik, better than Reykjavík, and better than Norway (last year) and new Zealand (5 years ago)
    The BEST whales watching tour in the world!
    We saw 8 whales, from very close distance!
    The views, cliffs and scenery is amazing!
    And the Guys running the boat are absolutely amazing! Friendly, attentive, understand Nature.
    Worth mentioning we also saw seals and many many other birds.
    After doing more than other 8 birds and whales tours around Iceland, hands down this is the best one!
    Highly recommend.
