Puffin Quest
Operated by Puffin Adventures
About this experience
Join us for what we (and our guests) honestly believe is the best nature and wildlife tour in Iceland.
We are located way off the beaten track in Borgarfjörður Eystri, a small village also known as the Puffin Capital of Iceland. If you’ve made it this far east or are planning to, you’re already looking for something really special. Let us take you the rest of the way.
Our RIB boats take you right to the base of the towering sea cliffs. You’ll get a unique, water-level perspective of the "Puffin Capital" and access to hidden coves that are completely unreachable on foot.
The Highlights:
- Atlantic Puffins: We’ll see them nesting and diving in their natural habitat.
- Marine Wildlife: Keep your eyes peeled for seals, dolphins, and whales. Every trip is a unique experience.
- The Best Views in the East: Spectacular photo opportunities of the wildlife, the rugged coastline and untouched fjords.
Our goal is to create memories that last a lifetime. This safari is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a true, raw connection with Icelandic nature.

Good to know
Warm clothes are always a good option when traveling in Iceland, however, we'll provide you with ski goggles, a warm, windproof and photogenic flotation suit and a dependable life jacket, giving you that adventurous “action figure” look while keeping you safe and comfortable.
Keep in mind that we usually gather 4-12 passengers into groups. The puffins arrive in mid-April and stay until mid-August.
During this time, they come to Iceland to breed and raise their young.
