The programme

Our excursion starts directly at the port, where we board a boat and set off on a cruise around the bay of Reykjavík, the most ancient permanent settlement on the island and the northernmost capital in the world.
Together with an expert guide, we discover the history of Reykjavík and the surrounding region, admire the main sights and learn more about the geological characteristics of the bay as we get acquainted with the local fauna.
We reach the island of Lundey, located 15 minutes from the port of Reykjavík. This is a uninhabited islets where around 15,000 puffins make their nests during the summer months. Puffins are small black and white birds with a funny colourful parrot-like beak of a triangular shape.
Our boat turns the motor off as we approach the islands so we can observe the birds without scaring them. We can thus see them in their natural habitat as they lead their everyday lives.
On the gentle outlines along the low coast, we can admire a variety of other colourful birds that make of this unspoilt places a true temple for wild animals, including seagulls, fulmars, Arctic terns and black urias.
