About this experience
Our RIB speedboats are the fastest way to experience the wildlife and the city. Going on a tour in a boat like that is an experience by itself. So you'll move faster and get closer to the puffins!
During the tour, you will learn from our guide about the puffins and other wildlife found in the islands around Reykjavík City. With the boat having only 12 seats, you will have personal access to the guide should you have any questions.
Our warm overalls help you stay warm duringt the tour so you can focus on experiencing the wildlife!
