Puffin-watching - Our guide Rodrigo was really informative on the trip and it was great to understand how the birds behaved from a marine biologist’s viewpoint. We had great weather so no issues getting to Lunde and back. Would definitely recommend Whale Safari!

Puffins galore - We had an amazing time with Mr. Puffin crew and their marine biologist, Eileen.We got suited at their establishment with protective overalls and life jackets. Then boarded one of two comfortable speedboats they had docked and headed out to two separate locations where puffins come to breed. We saw seagulls, cormorants and even a sea Lion.Then we reached an islet full of puffins in all stages: flying, nesting, fishing for food and just being goofy! They are simply too adorable and beautiful to watch. If you want to see puffins up close in their own environment; THIS is your tour. Amazing experience.

Puffin express 😍😍 - It was a really enjoyable trip, guide was knowledgable and we stopped near to two islands to see puffins. Very cute and pretty birds. Disclosure: the pictures were taken with a 40x zoom point and shoot camera. So in reality, you wont get to see the puffins this close, but with this tour you can be as close as you can get to the island.
