Tours in Reykjavik

Leaving from the Old Harbour in Reykjavík, this is the ultimate puffin adventure tour. This tour is operated in our custom made RIB boats. They are specially designed to get you as close as possible to the islands and when possible we can switch them completely off to give the birds (and you) some peace and quiet to enjoy nature. During the tour your guide and captain will tell you interesting facts and tales about the puffins and the surroundings.  Our RIBs are also the fastest boats in the harbour, meaning that on a short tour you will spend the majority of you time with the birds. Elding is an environmentally friendly company and recognised worldwide for its environmental efforts. The aim, mission and goal is to minimise the operational impact on the environment while offering an unforgettable experience at sea.

Come see how gin is made, learn about the botanicals, and top it all off with a taste of Marberg gin.
