puffin tours
Two operators we sell for, both running a puffin tour. Here is what separates them, in the figures we hold — and where nothing does, this page says so.
Elding Adventure at Sea costs about €38 more a head, and that difference buys €43 a head off the entry price, more to choose from in this one category, hotel pickup without arranging your own way there, more languages on the booking form and more dates to fit around the rest of the trip. If that is what you want, it is worth paying for. If it is not, Your Friend in Reykjavik does the same activity for less.
Prices are per person for tours priced per person — private charters and vehicle-priced tours are left out, because a car price and a seat price are not comparable.
