- Akurey - During the tour, we sail near 2-3 islands where puffins nest. As these islands are nature reserves, we remain on the boat throughout the tour, but our RIB speedboats allow us to get you exceptionally close to the islands.

Must do! - Amazing experience! The tour guide was a marine biologist and I really enjoyed learning about the puffins as we viewed them. We saw hundreds of puffins, couldn’t have been a better experience.

A few puffins - We had a fun time yesterday. It was cold and rainy but still fun. We saw some puffins. Not a ton but we saw some flying and hanging out in the water. Boat ride was great. Crew was very knowledgeable.

Not what was advertised. - We were somewhat disappointed, because what we received was not what was advertised. The description stated that binoculars would be given to guests. That did not happen. It stated that most of the time would be spent near the islands viewing puffins.
We spent less than 10 minutes at each island, and most of the time was spent traveling in the speed boat. The ride was fast and VERY BUMPY. On a more positive note, the tour guide was good and he took and emailed us nice complimentary photos of the few puffins that we did see. Maybe during the summer, the experience might better,
