Whether you believe it or not, now’s your last chance to see puffins in Húsavík in 2018! From August 20 onwards, there will hardly be any puffins left in Iceland. Hence, you’ll have to act quick if spotting a puffin is on your bucket list!
Puffins have become one of Iceland’s most famous symbols. The colorful and friendly seabird never fails to impress the beholders. Although linked to Iceland, puffins spend a majority of the year far from land in the open ocean and only visits coastal areas to breed.
200,000 Puffins Breeding in the Puffin island, close to Húsavík!
Being a sociable bird, puffins usually breeds in large colonies. Similarly, the puffin population in Húsavík is no different. In a puffin colony located 20-minutes from Húsavík, more than 200,000 puffins can be found! Unsurprisingly, this colony has been coined the “Puffin island”.
The puffins usually return to the same colony at which they were hatched, meaning that we see the same birds year after year.
Although puffins can be found in small numbers at sea while whale watching, most of them stay close to the island. For those reasons, you have to do a special Whale Watching & Puffin tour to be able to see them properly!
