Reviews

My friend and I arrived at the meeting point before 10 AM. The information stated that the tour would depart at 10 AM, but no one showed up. We waited until 10:40 AM, and since no one arrived, we were upset and requested a refund from Klook customer service. However, the tour operator said a refund was not possible. The guide wasn't there by 10 AM, and I believe this is clearly the operator's fault, yet they offered no compensation and acted as if it wasn't their problem. Klook customer service also asked for our travel history, photos upon arrival at the meeting point, and proof of attempts to contact the operator, but we couldn't prepare any of that because we didn't anticipate such an issue. It was a truly unfair day. I don't usually write reviews like this, but if you're coming to Iceland and don't want to experience what we did, I highly recommend choosing a different tour.
Terrible experience!!! First and foremost, there's absolutely no purchase protection. All receipts are only in Chinese and do not provide the name, contact number, or relevant staff information of the local tour or transfer company. Therefore, if you need to contact or follow up with them, local hotel staff cannot assist, nor can you directly contact the service company. We booked a tour scheduled for 10 AM, waiting at Bus Stop 3. Bus Stop 3 is right outside our hotel, and we've waited there for pickup buses many times before, so there's no way we could have mistaken the location. When we saw the shuttle bus, they had no record of our names or our purchase. The only payment record we had from the platform was a QR code, but the driver couldn't find our names or relevant information. As a result, the driver didn't let us board because, besides the QR code, I couldn't provide the name of the shuttle bus or tour company. The shuttle bus driver wanted to help but couldn't, as our names weren't on their manifest. We continued to wait until 10:15 AM, but no other shuttle bus arrived. We couldn't even go directly to the pier to find the ferry company because we didn't know its name. So, we were left waiting innocently on the street for half an hour, unable to find the shuttle bus, and more importantly, we missed our bird-watching excursion, leaving a regrettable mark on our trip. Shouldn't the platform issue a refund?
Don't use this company.

More about Reykjavik Puffin Island Half-Day Guided Boat Tour

Experience Iceland’s charming puffins up close on this classic small-boat tour, operating from late April to mid-August. Departing just minutes from Reykjavik city center, the tour visits one of three nearby islands—Engey, Akurey, or Lundey—depending on tides and conditions. While we don’t land, our skilled captains navigate close to shore for excellent viewing without disturbing nesting areas. In addition to puffins, you may spot eider ducks, arctic terns, guillemots, cormorants, and even seals. The scenic rocky coastlines provide the perfect setting as our expert crew shares fascinating insights about the birds and their habitat. When weather permits, engines are turned off so you can enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature
