Puffin Jet Ski Tour: Coastal Ride and Wildlife Encounter
Glide across Icelandic waters and meet puffins in their natural island habitat.
The Puffin Jet Ski Tour offers a rare combination of open-water riding and close-up wildlife observation along the breathtaking coastline near Reykjavik. Rated easy in difficulty, this two-hour experience is designed to welcome families, first-timers, and seasoned riders alike. You leave the shore with city views behind you and return with memories of puffins bobbing on the sea.
Riders spend approximately one hour on the water, cruising along a scenic coastal route that reveals Reykjavik from a perspective few visitors ever see. The guides are attentive, informative, and well-practiced at finding the best vantage points for both the cityscape and the surrounding volcanic landscape.
A dedicated stop near Puffin Island gives participants time to observe the seabirds at close range using small binoculars provided on the tour. The guides take photographs throughout the excursion, so riders can focus entirely on the scenery and the wildlife without worrying about missing a shot.
All guests receive high-quality drysuits and warm fleece undersuits before departure, ensuring comfort regardless of the weather. Iceland's coastal conditions can shift quickly, and the outfitter equips every rider to handle the elements confidently.
