Located in Sauðárkrókur, Iceland, Drangey Tours offers a unique experience combining birdwatching, sailing, hiking and personalized service. Visitors can hike up to the top of the island, along the cliffs, and get up close and personal with puffins resting just a few meters from the trail. During the hike, tour guides tell the ancient stories of Grettir the Strong, a Viking who lived in exile on the island, as well as more recent accounts of the exploitation of the island's resources. The tour is suitable for groups and individuals of all ages, and lasts around 4 hours. For those who don't wish to hike to the top of the island, it's possible to stay on the boat or head to the small port of Drangey to enjoy the surrounding natural scenery. Drangey is a birdwatcher's paradise, home to thousands of seabirds including puffins, guillemots, gannets, kittiwakes, sooty shearwaters, petrels and ravens. The island, a 180-metre-high palagonite cliff, offers a magnificent view of the entire fjord.

We had a conversation at the given no. Apparently the company has been shut down and it's not safe anymore to visit the island.

No puffins for us :(

For my 40th birthday, my wish was to hang out with puffins with a little adventure mixed in and, guys, let me tell you…THIS EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. I can confidently assume that this is the best puffin tour in Iceland. Granted I haven’t done any others, but I just can’t even imagine how it could get much better! The father/son tour handlers/guides do it perfectly. My husband and I were just two of 11 people total (including our guide) where we took their boat to the uninhabited little cliff island of Drangey. It’s incredible sight as you’re pulling up from the water, and you’re already seeing puffins flying and floating around you. As soon as you step onto the little dock, the adventure begins. You climb up the very steep hill (it’s definitely a workout!), trek on narrow paths alongside the cliff (anyone afraid of heights would not like that part but I thought it made it more incredible). And then you climb up a straight up metal ladder. And puffins are everywhere! It’s the most surreal experience. Once you’re up on top, the views are amazing! Our guide (the son of the father/son duo) was so nice and funny and told great stories and provided tons of information about the land, the puffins, Icelandic folktales. We got to explore pretty much the entire top of the island cliff and it was just the 11 of us the whole time we were there! They only take one group a day and no other tours go there. It’s a practically private experience and feels really special. And the puffins are just so cute and mesmerizing. I couldn’t stop smiling. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Well worth the money! For what it was, the price was really good. I truly hope to experience this again one day! Thank you, Drangey Tours for making my birthday wish come true!

Amazing experience! Would recommend for everyone travelling the area.

Quite a walk up steel stairs and terrain so not for young kids or people who have disabilities.
