About Tour

Experience one of the best wildlife tours in Iceland!

Get ready for an exhilarating adventure through the untouched wilderness of East Iceland on this Nature & Wildlife Safari. Set in the remote and breathtaking village of Borgarfjörður Eystri—widely known as The Puffin Capital of Iceland—this tour offers a rare opportunity to explore dramatic coastal landscapes and get up close with Iceland’s most iconic animals.

Climb aboard our state-of-the-art RIB boat for an intimate and thrilling ride along towering sea cliffs, secluded coves, and wild ocean waves. Designed for stability, speed, and comfort, our boat gives you a front-row seat to some of the most spectacular wildlife viewing in Iceland.

Wildlife Highlights Include:

  • Atlantic Puffins in their natural nesting habitat (seasonal)

  • Seabirds such as kittiwakes, gannets, and fulmars

  • Seals lounging on rocky shores

  • Dolphins and whales occasionally surfacing during the journey

  • And of course, some very unique locals (both feathered and two-legged!)

Every tour is different, and nature has its own rhythm—making each safari a one-of-a-kind experience.

Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, wildlife photographer, or just looking to escape the crowds and immerse yourself in Iceland’s raw coastal beauty, this tour delivers unforgettable moments in a region few travelers get to explore.
