Affordable 5 Hour Combined Boat Tour to Mykines & Vestmanna Sea Cliffs
Take advantage of a combined tour to Mykines and Vestmanna Sea Cliffs. You will have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience both towering rock walls, freestanding stacks and puffins.
This tour departs from the Vestmanna harbour. Tours are made on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Once you are on the boat, you will sail along the shoreline north of the village Vestmanna. Here you will get close to towering sea-stacks and impressive grottoes. After experiencing Vestmannabjørgini as these sea cliffs are called in Faroese, you will proceed to Mykines. This is the puffin island where you will get close to lots of puffins.
Mykineshólmur islet where the lighthouse is located is closed during season 2024 due to a landslide. You will still see lots of puffins on Mykines.
The boat sails directly from the Vestmanna Bird Cliffs and to Mykines island. You will do the sailing in a comfortable boat where you can enjoy the nature from the boat deck. You can also it down for a while inside and be amused by the scenic route from Vestmanna to the impressive sea cliffs and then to the top attraction in the Faroe Islands: Mykines!
The boat will sail you to the harbour in Mykines. You will now bring some unforgettable hours on the puffin island. Go see the many puffins next to the village in unspoiled surroundings.
This tidy island is slow paced. There will never be more than somewhat 120 people on this island jam-packed with beauty.
After spending some hours in Mykines, the boat will sail you back to Vestmanna. The boat tour from Mykines to Vestmanna takes an hour or so.
This combined Vestmanna Sea Cliff and Mykines tour is available from mid June to late July. This is when you have the chance to experience both attractions within one tour.
Don't miss this opportunity to experiencing two of the most unbelievable attractions in the Faroe Islands. Check availability by choosing a date.

Algo decepcionados, no fue posible el desembarco en la isla. Realmente no es fácil atracar en el pequeño puerto. Deberían advertir de que es posible que no desembarques en Mykines. El mar no estaba movido y aún así no fue posible desembarcar. Aunque el patrón trato de compensarnos con una ruta alrededor de las islas; pero nosotros queríamos ir a Mykines y no pudimos!

This tour is a must-do. I highly recommend it.
Setting out from the picturesque village of Vestmanna was delightful, and spending time viewing the sea stacks and achingingly beautiful cliffs was awe-inspiring. There were birds in abundance to see flying among the cliff-tops and down to the water, from puffins and gillemots, to gannets and skuas. A bird watcher’s dream!
The boat was comfortable and very safe – plenty of space both up top, and down in the warmer cabin.
The weather turned when we were about to dock in Mykines and, despite three attempts, we were unable to do so because the swells were too big – and getting bigger with each attempt. While we were disappointed that we did not make it onto Mykines Island, we very much appreciated the captain’s focus on safety. There was also the risk that we’d not be able to get off the island if we were to able to dock eventually, so all is well that ends well. Safety first!
We were lucky, then, to have an extended tour of Vagar Island and see the ‘Lake Above the Ocean’ and its waterfall from the ocean, the Witch’s Finger up close, incredible towering cliffs, and a cove with curious grey seals coming to meet us at the boat.
Thank you to our captain and first mate for a safe, interesting, and enjoyable trip!

It was a fantastic tour. The boat was really suitable for the purpose, and the captain was a great narrator.
We were very pleased.

We had the best experience. A great combination of the Westmanna cliffs and the beautiful Mykinos Island. The weather could have been better, but we where proberly dressed.
A trip i can only recommend.

Meget flot og spændende tur. Eneste minus var antallet af passagerer, der gjorde det sværere at tage billeder.

The tour is ideal for combining two highlights. The captain is very familiar with his ship and he has sailed us through several narrow places at the Vestmanna Cliffs. On Mykines we have stayed for three hours. Sure, if you want to watch the birds longer, you should stay overnight. For us the hours were perfect to experience the island and the cute puffins. Great tour!

We really enjoyed this tour. The combination of Vestmanna cliffs tour and hiking Mykines works really well and is probably the best deal out there. The cliffs were truly stunning and there was a little commentary that made the whole trip even more interesting. We then went to Mykines were we had over 4 hours to explore. Plenty of time to have lunch and hike to the lighthouse and back with a lot of stops for puffin-spotting. I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone coming to Faroe Islands.

The trip was perhaps a bit too long on the Mykines island. This could of course be because of the rain and low visibility. But a lot of the passengers were in the end just cramped in the town, waiting for the boat to ferry them back. Perhaps an hour shorter would do.
Robin Michael Lambert –
The boat trip was amazing. We got to see so much more than if we would have taking the other ferry. Plus the boat looks way more comfortable and warm. Our guide was spot on with information and anecdotes, Amazing time for the three of us.

A very special experience – facing towering sea cliffs and weaving through dark caves and grottoes in a boat, and observing all the beautiful birdlife in their natural habitat. And then hiking to beautiful Mykines lighthouse and the puffin colonies – thousands of these precious birds at close quarters with all their quirks with jaw-dropping views littered across the whole day. Our English-speaking guide was great – very patient and helpful with the slow hikers like my parents and very engaging and educative at the same time. The weather really helped as it was sunny on Mykines and had been sunny the day before too – so it wasn’t muddy anywhere. It should be noted that no matter what you hear, this is a medium-level (not easy) hike for beginner hikers and proper hiking shoes are a must as even in slight rain, it would get very slippery. Go prepared, and the experience will be more than rewarding. I feel extremely lucky to have been able to do it, that too, in great weather!
