Whale and puffin boats leave from the Old Harbour, and these are the crews I trust. Puffins only nest near Reykjavik from May to August, so combination trips are strictly a summer thing. Take the seasickness tablet when offered; Faxafloi Bay is rarely as calm as it looks from shore.
Cruise into the unknown depths of Reykjavík's waters, where captivating marine creatures await, promising an unforgettable adventure full of surprises.
