Reykjavík Bay Jet Ski Tour: Puffin Island and Viðey Explorer

Ride the Arctic waters and discover the island secrets of Reykjavík Bay.


This Reykjavík Bay jet ski tour combines the raw energy of riding across open water with close encounters with Icelandic island wildlife. Over approximately two hours, you will cover Puffin Island and Viðey, two of the bay's most distinctive natural landmarks.

The tour is structured to give each rider roughly one hour of active jet ski time, guided by an expert who maintains communication with your group throughout the entire route. The experience is rated easy, making it accessible for first-time riders and those without prior jet ski experience.

Viðey Island holds cultural and natural significance, while Puffin Island draws visitors for its dense seasonal bird colonies. Together, they offer a rare combination of scenic beauty and wildlife observation from the seat of a watercraft.

Prices are calculated per person. Riders selecting the double rider option should book one entry per person participating, not per jet ski unit.
