Watch puffins in their natural habitat
Every summer, Iceland is home to more than 60% of the world’s puffin population that came here for breeding.

That means going on whale-watching tours. The most common whale species encountered on the whale watching tours are the minke whales, humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises.
