Good Day. - Very Good Trip - Very well Organised and very well Run. Felt Safe all the time. Not as, "Physical", as you might expect. Good and Helpful Guides - Adam, Naina, Tarzan, Andy, and the Driver ( forgot his name...), and there was another Boatman, ( also forgot his name...). Lastly Sara, in the Office, for helping with the Special Transport Requests, for my Disability, and for Transporting us, back and fourth, to our Cruise Ship. Thanks.

Puffins Puffins Puffins - and kind carrying team - It was my big desire to see puffins in their natural habitat in Iceland. This comfortable boat tour brought us very close to the Lundy island so we could see the birds without disturbing them.

Good experience; bring your own binoculars - Our guide was an informative chap and had interesting commentary. We didn’t get as close to the land as I thought we would and the binoculars they handed out sucked so it was hard to see details of the puffins on the cliffs. Bring your own binoculars. There were hundreds of them in the water at our 2nd stop. It was fun watching them trying to fly and diving for fish. The RIB tour was not as rough as I expected but they did say the seas were much calmer than usual.

Puffins Everywhere! - Great trip out to see the puffins from Reykjavik. We had an amazing time! They had us bundled up comfortably, shared a ton of information on the puffins, and even sent us some photos from the trip. I would highly recommend it!

Lots of puffins to see! - Although this is a short tour, we were able to see thousands of puffins. They even floated around our boat a few times. The guide was very informative.

Kindness, professionalism and security - Kindness, efficiency, safety and guaranteed result. We left Reykjavik with the Skùdur motorboat and reached the island of Lundey where we could admire the puffins. They are made available free of charge to the binoculars, for those without them, also send photos of the excursion free of charge to those who request it.

Eh! - The boat did not really get close to any puffins even to see them clearly with ones own eyes much less photograph the birds. In fact, the guide had a camera with a long lens and he sent us photos after. Essentially this was a 50 minute boat for a lot of money.
