8-Hour Horse Riding & Puffin Boat Combo Tour with Transfer from Reykjavik

Spend the day with Iceland's most charismatic animals, starting with a horse riding tour in the morning before hopping aboard a boat for a puffin watching tour in the afternoon. Nature lovers who want to maximize their day in the land of fire and ice should not let this combo tour opportunity pass them by. 

Your adventure starts in the morning when you are picked up from your hotel or at a designated tour bus stop in Reykjavik. From the Icelandic capital, the adventure takes you southwest to reach one of the most scenic farmlands in the countryside.

Upon arrival at the farm stables, you'll meet your friendly guide and horse for the day. This tour is suited for both beginners and expert riders alike, and your guides will do their best to pair you up with a horse that matches your riding abilities. 

Once you've mounted your horse, you'll head out to the spectacular grasslands of southwest Iceland. You'll ride through hills, valleys, and lava fields that look breathtaking up close.

These areas are also filled with history and folklore, which you'll hear from your local guide as you journey through the land. If you're feeling confident in your riding, you can even try the "tolt gait," unique to the Icelandic horses.

After a satisfying horseback riding surrounded by nature, you'll return to the stables to take off your gear and bid farewell to your horse. Before boarding the bus back to Reykjavik, you'll stop at a local hotel restaurant for a light lunch.

Back in the city, you'll have time to stroll around downtown, but make sure to arrive at Reykjavik's Old Harbor with some time to spare before the departure of your puffin watch boat.

Early in the afternoon, you'll board your vessel, a traditional oak boat that will take you to Lundey or Puffin Island. The boat has a viewing deck and large windows so you can enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Onboard the boat are binoculars, which will help you get a better look at the nesting puffins of the island. Puffins are one of the most popular animals often associated with Iceland. They are known for their colorful beaks and white and black and white feathers.

Besides puffins, you may also spot other wildlife, such as fulmars, guillemots, and Arctic terns, on the rocky cliffs of Lundey Island.

While puffin watching, your guide will tell you everything you need to know about these charming birds and answer any questions you might have about them. After about an hour of sailing, you'll return to the harbor of Reykjavik, marking the end of your combo tour.
