Welcome to one of the best spots in all of Iceland to see our beloved puffins! From the free parking lot, it's just a short 5-minute walk along a path to a fantastic viewing platform that gets you incredibly close to thousands of these charming birds. You'll see them nesting, flying, and bringing back fish to their burrows in the cliffs. For the best experience, try to visit in the morning or evening when they are most active. The path can be a little steep and slippery if it's been raining, but the unforgettable sight of this massive puffin colony is absolutely worth it.
