They told us amazing stories about Icelandic wildlife and the history about the cliffs, how the vulcanos and the ice age - Those two brothers were amazing. They told us amazing stories about Icelandic wildlife and the history about the cliffs, how the vulcanos and the ice age has changed the structure of it etc. I saw a lot of birds: 4 species at least if not more, including puffins , some jellyfish. They also showed us some seals.

10/10 Would Recommend to a Friend - My husband and I went with another couple and had a blast! We lucked out and only had 2 other people on our tour, so it felt semi-private. This excursion is about 1 hour 15 minutes away from the port in Seydisfjordur, and you will need to rent a car if you want to visit. The two gentlemen who own the company (captain and the guide) are highly entertaining and very knowledgeable. They take a lot of pride in their tour and the town. The views were amazing! We saw breathtaking views, a ton of different types of birds, and seals. We also had a good laugh over the "dad jokes" that were throughout the tour. I would highly recommend the RIB Safari with Puffin Adventures. Don't miss out on this excursion!

Great experience - Wow. A great experience. ES was a bit rainy today. But that doesn’t bother the puffins and seals 😅. And again we learned something about it 👍

Great sight seeing, especially for bird lovers! - Great fun, amazing views and super crew! Very insightful with lots of local knowledge, lots of stunning cliffs and birds and there might be a surpirse or two as well….and if you are nice, they will give you a discount for a nearby restaurant with very good fish soup!

- What a fantastic private tour we had! It rained, but that didn't spoil the fun. They were so enthusiastic, yet very relaxed and comfortable. They're very knowledgeable, and there's always room for questions. I definitely recommend it, rain or shine. A solid 10. Thank you.

Spectacular nature viewing - The tour guides were very knowledgeable and fun and translated everything clearly to us in English. The boat ride was very comfortable and the scenery and wildlife were spectacular. We saw seals and I especially enjoyed being near the cliffs with a wide variety of sea birds swooping around overhead and nesting. Along with viewing the puffins at the Entry, this was a highlight on an amazing Iceland trip.

Best tour!! - Fabulous tour on a supercool boat! Captain and mate were knowledgeable, friendly, and amusing. You will see so, so much more than puffins, although you will also see plenty of puffins flying on the water. Do not miss this tour. You, like me, will LOVE IT!!

Incredible Puffin Tour – Friendly, Knowledgeable, and Thoughtful! - We had a truly fantastic experience with puffin.is! The two staff members were exceptionally friendly and welcoming — their warm approach immediately set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable trip. What stood out most was their deep knowledge of the area and the puffins. They shared fascinating facts throughout the tour and were happy to answer questions, making it both fun and informative. The boat was very comfortable, well maintained, offering great views and a smooth fast ride. We were especially impressed with how accommodating they were for an elderly member of our group — offering extra support and ensuring they felt safe and included at all times. The scenery along the way was absolutely breathtaking — it honestly felt like something out of Jurassic Park, with dramatic cliffs, lush greenery, and wild seabirds flying overhead. And of course, seeing so many puffins up close was the highlight of the day! I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland — whether you're a nature lover, bird enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique adventure with outstanding guides!

Unfortunate booking - Unfortunately, when I booked this tour, I did not realize that it was an hours drive from the port where my cruise ship was docked. By the time I received the tickets and saw where the location for the meeting point was, I was past the deadline for receiving a refund for the tour. I would have appreciated a notice from TripAdvisor that there would’ve been no transportation from where my ship was stocked to the tour.
