Why choose Gentle Giants for your Iceland whale watching experience?
Welcome aboard!
Puffins tend to look a bit clumsy when flying, not surprising, they have to beat their wings up to 400 times per minute to stay in the air! In photos, they look a lot more graceful. The puffins we visit during our tours are busy feeding their chicks, flying back and forth to puffin island.
