Normally you cannot touch the puffins. There are hundreds of visitors every day and if everyone touched the puffind the natural oils on their plumage that deflect water would be destroyed, plus it's a bird, not a toy, so letting every visitor touch it would be cruel.

We took a plane which takes about 30 minutes from downtown Reykjavik. Drive time I would estimate 3-4 hours plus the ferry ride across. The drive is really pretty and there are waterfalls on the way, so I would account for stops on the way.
Q:

You can play with him! But not hold or pet him.

We travelled at the end of May 2017 and at that time the Aquarium was open all day. It is a small family run aquarium and it is possible that for the month of October they have limited hours. I would send an email directly to the aquarium staff and confirm the hours. It is still worth a visit, but you may need to plan a bit more carefully in order to fit the visit in.
