Puffins in Nuuk? Yes! Jump onboard with your local guide / captain who will take you to Puffin Island, the only puffin colony in Nuuk.

Departing from the Tide Water Steps, a short distance from the Nuuk city centre, jump into our comfortable Targa boats, with our knowledgeable local guides who will take you to explore the waters around Nuuk and Puffin Island which is only accessible by boat!

Once we arrive to Puffin Island, your guide will take the boat close to the island where you would be able to spot hundreds of puffins going about their day! As the puffins live close to the sea on the cliff, you can get close without disturbing them, watching them from the edge of the boat. Watch them comfortably from the boat as you drift around in the waters below.

Your local guide will be on hand to provide more information and answer any questions you may have about these beautiful birds!
