About this experience

We start at your base in Gufunes, where you’ll get suited up in a warm, fleece-lined drysuit to keep you comfortable out on the water. After a short safety briefing, we head out on your jet skis and ride into the bay just as the sun begins to set.

Your first stop is Lundey, a small island that’s home to thousands of puffins during the summer. From May through late August, you’ll have the chance to see them up close, either resting on the rocks or flying over the sea. We’ll have compact binoculars available to help you get a better look.

Next, we ride over to Viðey Island, where we pause to enjoy the peaceful views and snap some sunset photos. The city skyline and surrounding mountains are especially stunning at this time of day.

In between the stops, you’ll have time to enjoy the ride and open up the throttle a bit or just take in the scenery. Your guide will be nearby to keep things safe and help you make the most of the experience.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?

The nearest cheaper Reykjavík Luggage Storage in BSI Bus Terminal from BagBee is €12 — €207 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

The €207 buys you free cancellation up to 24 h before. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.

Had a fabulous time on this tour. Our group had thrill seekers and overly cautious riders and we all had a blast seeing the arctic puffins and enjoying the views. Great staff, too. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend!

Great experience. Did with 10 year old son and had wonderful time with loads of fun. Simple to operate jetskis. Saw tons of puffins on and around the island and even saw a seal! Jetskis can go at 80 km per hour for adrenaline junkies.

Me and my dad had an awesome time here!! We were in Iceland on a Viking Cruise and decided to do this instead of one of the cruise excursions and we’re so glad we did. The two brothers who own the place were super nice and made the whole experience really fun from start to finish. The jet skis were a blast, getting to ride out to Puffin Island was so cool.. We also got to see the outskirts of the city from the water, which was such a unique view you don’t get any other way. This is a must!! 100% recommend for anyone looking for something fun to do here!

Awesome experience in jet skis and puffins. This was an awesome and great experience. Riding jet skis in Reykjavik was an incredible experience, and feeling the air was fantastic. Getting up close to the puffins was eye opening. We saw so many in their natural elements. Truly fantastic. Our guides were courteous and accommodating. They made sure we weren't wet or cold. The jet skis were perfect. Highly recommended here.
