Puffins flock to Iceland during the spring and summer, which is peak whale watching season. During this time the country hosts more than 60% of the World’s entire Atlantic Puffin population, with 8 to 10 million puffins inhabiting the island. These bright birds can be spotted on mainland Iceland during their nesting season, as well as out at sea during whale watching excursions!
