The boat tour was well run and staff/guides were friendly and organized. The views are incredible, and it’s well worth seeing the sights from the ocean (and seeing many things you cannot from land). Easily worth it.

Very hard to find red shed mentioned in instructions. We never found it and emailed 15 minutes after the tour began to request a partial refund and were completely ignored. At least have the courtesy to respond.
Don’t miss out on this boat tour! we didn’t get to see the puffin’s since it was end of august, so would suggest going before!!

Many thanks for your feedback, and yes the chances to see puffins are reduced in late August
The staff was very nice and professional - helping everyone with the clothing provided. Also so much patience they had with a dash of humour. :)

Many thanks for your kind feedback Timea
Great up close experience in an open boat. We saw lots of puffins on the cliffs and in the water. We saw amazing geological formations, basalt columns that have been deformed through the ages. They were eroding into caves. We saw 2 waterfalls of course those were amazing. We navigated the boat straight through the arch ! The jumpsuits they supplied to us kept us warm and dry. The only recommendation I would have is to spin the boat around so the people on the other side of the boat can get some images as well. We were sitting 3 across. Amazing adventure well done!

As long as the waters are calm, this is an excellent tour! They provide waterproof/warm suits, safety instructions and the know how you make this one hour journey a highlight of your visit to the Faroe Islands. You’ll have a completely different vantage point from the water for two famous waterfalls, arch, puffins, multiple other birds and rookeries. An added treat was floating under the sheer vertical cliffs carved over years with only the waves and birds as background. You can’t do this from the road, path, bus or lookout! Highly Recommend! Only obstacle is the location. You’ll have to hire a car or take a taxi from the Capitol (both are pricey), but the tour is worth it.

The trip was beautiful, but you can’t see puffins before june - we were told on the last stop. They were the reason why we booked this trip. The title is false.

Hi and many thanks for your feedback.
I have to let you know that the Puffins arrived on 14 April every year. As their behaviour and also location is very dependent on weather we do not see them as often in April and May as we do in June and July.
Sorry that there were no puffins spotted on this tour.

The two guides were incredibly friendly and personable locals with great stories to share, the weather was perfect and the tour was absolutely breathtaking. When one of us got very seasick, the guides responded with kindness and comfort. Highly recommend!

Very nice service with a finally acceptable Price quality ratio / Danish kroner. The landscapes are beautiful, the comments interesting, small flat for the puffins that we only see from a distance.
