    Next up on our adventure, prepare for an enchanting session of puffin watching at Stórhöfði cape! Get your cameras ready because there will be plenty of opportunities to snap delightful photos of these charismatic birds as they go about their daily antics. Puffins, with their comical waddle and vibrant beaks, are the true VIPs (Very Important Puffins) of the Westman Islands. Nicknamed “sea parrots” or sometimes “clowns of the sea", Puffins spend 8 months at sea hunting for fish in the winter, returning to land only for mating and nesting from mid-April to August.
