🐧 See puffins in Runde but have no car? No problem.
Here is a solution on how to go from Ålesund to Runde to experience the puffins this summer:
All in one package: Travel by express boat from Ålesund to Hareid and continue by coach to Runde on a scenic drive across bridges from one island to another. Learn more about the island's remarkable birdlife, and sit down to a warm dinner before heading towards the famous bird cliffs with a nature guide.
The guided walk takes you through dramatic coastal scenery to one of Norway's most extraordinary wildlife experiences. Here, thousands of seabirds gather during summer, including the beloved puffins that make Runde famous.
Enjoy the view, and watch the birds before returning to Ålesund.
🛥️ Departure from Ålesund: 3:30 pm
🐧 Guided puffin safari
🍲 Dinner included
🌅 Return to Ålesund: 11:15 pm
A summer evening you'll be talking about long after the puffins has left the island in early August.
