Looking for the best place to watch puffins in Iceland?! Borgarfjordur Eystri is a fjord in the Northeast. There you will find a harbor called Hafnarholmi which is home to a large puffin colony and known for being one of the best puffin watching areas in the world! Here you will find thousands of puffins on a very accessible cliff from April to August. This place is the perfect detour off the Ring Road and a must add to your Iceland itinerary.
