This combo of a City Walk and Puffin Watching takes you roughly 5 hours with a 2-hour short break in the middle. You have two options of how to experience People & Puffin Watching.
If you choose the 10 am starting time, you experience an enjoyable city Walk beginning at 10 am; that tour is roughly 2 hours. Then you will have a short lunch break before heading out to do Puffin Watching on board a comfortable boat at 2 pm, which takes about an hour.
If you choose the 2 pm starting time, you begin with the Puffin Watching at 2 pm and then enjoy our Reykjavik city walk at 5 pm.

We’ll be showing you our favorite places to eat, drink and visit (we also have an intimate knowledge of happy hour deals we’re happy to share.

We sail out from the old harbor in Reykjavik, and it only takes us about 15 minutes to reach the
puffin island, Akurey. On the journey out, you will be able to view Reykjavik from the seaside [remember your camera], and the guide will also share information about the buildings & islands that can be spotted along the way.We’ll be showing you our favorite places to eat, drink and visit in Reykjavik.
