Our captain was very friendly and told us all the interesting facts about the island of Vagar and the surrounding area. He answered every question in great detail and took time for his customers. The small size of the group means there is a very family-like and pleasant atmosphere on board. He knows many different places where you can come across seeing puffins. You don't get as close to the puffins as on Mykines, but you see them in their natural environment. It was an incredible experience and the highlight of our vacation so far. We would recommend this tour to everyone.

Great boat tour. Tour operators were very pleasant and fun. Loved the small group (7 I think) we were able to get up close but not to disturb the environment and habitat. Highly reccomend.

Amazing to be out in the water and see the landscape and birds. The captain was friendly and took care of the crew. The captain provided a lot of good information. Excellent tour

The boat trip was fun, and I liked having a small number of people. It was lovely to see some of the Faroe Islands from the water. Unfortunately we didn't see any puffins, but it was still fun. The company just needs to be a little clearer on their location - there was a sign to the dock, but after that I only found the right boat because others pointed it out. Not a sticking point, though.

Thank you so much for your kind words and helpful feedback! We're really glad to hear you enjoyed the trip and appreciated the more personal experience with a smaller group—seeing the Faroe Islands from the water truly offers a unique perspective.
We normally see puffins on every tour, but nature can be unpredictable. We're sorry you missed out on them this time, but hopefully they'll be out and about on your next trip!
Also, thank you for mentioning the signage. That’s really valuable feedback. A big beach flag is actually being delivered this week—the previous one was unfortunately taken by the wind! So things should be much clearer for future guests.
We hope to welcome you aboard again soon!

Really enjoyed seeing puffins and the sea stacks in evening light. Great scenery. On our evening, the waves were too choppy to get very close to the cliffs so we had to see puffins from afar but we saw them several times. Our pilot also had to deal with a boat issue caused by another tourist hiring a switch they shouldn't but all was well. I appreciated that we all had floatation devices just in case. Good information and puffin spotting from the pilot!
Tips: Bring warm clothes and take motion sickness medication if you're susceptible to that as I am. The boat had fold down seats in the back and a cabin but it was full in peak tourist season, so not everyone could sit inside. We were good with fleece under windbreaker and hat/gloves.

Dear Lara,
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted you enjoyed seeing the puffins and sea stacks in the evening light. The scenery here is truly special.
We appreciate your understanding about the choppy waves and the quick thinking of our pilot during the unexpected boat issue. Safety is always our priority, so we’re glad you felt reassured with the floatation devices and enjoyed the puffin spotting.
Your tips on dressing warmly and bringing motion sickness medication are spot-on. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Warm regards,

The guide Silas was amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable learned a lot about the history, birds, culture, hikes, and even rock formations of the Faroese Islands. definitely recommend this tour or any of the other tours they offer because we got to see the puffins and still had amazing scenic views and Silas stopped a lot so we could get our pictures in.
