    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.

    Best Way to See These Sites!

    Wynde_C, Jun 2026
    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.

    Not a puffin trip

    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.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    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. Regards The Bluegate Team

    Highlight of our trip

    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!

    Worth a visit

    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.
