The puffin watching tours with Special Tours have been a favorite among visitors for over a decade. As pioneers in puffin watching in Iceland, Special Tours brings more than 20 years of experience and a range of vessels to offer an unforgettable birdwatching adventure. The Puffin Express by RIB Speedboat is the ideal choice for those seeking a thrilling and fast-paced experience that allows for close encounters with these charming seabirds. Departing from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour, the one-hour tour quickly takes you to the nearby islands of Lundey and Akurey, just 15 minutes away, which are known for their vibrant birdlife and scenic rocky shores.

Thanks to the speedboat’s shallow draft, passengers can get close to the islands for a better view. Upon arrival, the engine is turned off to let guests peacefully observe puffins and other native species such as arctic terns, gulls, northern fulmars, and black guillemots. A licensed guide onboard shares fascinating insights about the birds and their habitat, making the tour both educational and enjoyable. With its perfect blend of excitement, nature, and convenience, the Puffin Express by Speedboat is a great option for those wanting a fun and time-efficient birdwatching experience while in Reykjavík.
