Fantastically beautiful puffins that can be spotted and observed on the rocky outcrops.

With a little patience you can see puffins almost everywhere on the (unstable) edges of the rocks.

Dyrhólaey is home to bird cliffs that are populated by many seabirds, including puffins, until August. Access to Dyrhólaey is therefore often restricted for several weeks during the breeding season.

The bird breeding season, especially from May to August, is a fascinating time to visit, as you have the opportunity to observe numerous bird species, including the famous puffins, in their natural habitat. These months offer long days and milder weather, increasing your chances of seeing wildlife in action while enjoying the stunning scenery in more pleasant temperatures.
