Activity description

Embark upon an adventure to remember on this 1.5-hour puffin boat tour in the Faroe Islands, departing from Sørvágur! Welcoming wildlife enthusiasts of all ages.

The Faroe Islands are located in the North Atlantic Ocean and are situated between Iceland and Norway. Composed of 18 major islands and many smaller islets, the Faroe Islands are known for their pristine water, rugged cliffs, awe-inspiring landscapes, and rich cultural fishing heritage. In addition, the Faroe Islands are home to one of the world's most iconic birds, the puffin. Characterized by their colourful beaks and black and white plumage, puffins arrive in the Faroe Islands in the late spring and stay until August. What better way to observe these incredible creatures up close than on a comfortable boat tour from Sørvágur? With an experienced Captain/guide at the helm, you'll also learn fascinating facts about the puffins and the Faroe Islands themselves. 

Your puffin boat tour in the Faroe Islands from Sørvágur begins at the meeting point at Sørvágur Harbour where you'll be greeted by your experienced Captain/guide. Once you and your group (a maximum of 8 people) have boarded the boat, you'll put on your life jacket and receive a safety and itinerary briefing. Now, the fun starts! You'll set off along the cliff-lined coastline, taking in the magnificent views as you relax onboard. You'll pass the famed Drangarnir sea stacks with its turquoise waters and jagged peaks, followed by the majestic Múlafossur Waterfall and Tindhólmur Island (one of the filming locations for the Peter Pan & Wendy movie).

Weather permitting, you'll enter the Munkastova Cave, one of the hidden gems of the Faroe Island. Your puffing boat tour from Sørvágur continues to the Skardsafoss Waterfall, home of the puffins! From a comfortable vantage point, you'll observe thousands of puffins. Don't forget your camera! In addition, you'll learn more about these fascinating and adorable creatures from your Captain/guide. As you take in the wondrous views, you'll be treated to snacks and a choice of coffee, tea, or water. As you sip on your hot drink, experience total relaxation on the water, surrounded by nature.
