Mykines Shuttle Boat

Visit the breathtaking puffin island Mykines during the summer months in the Faroe Islands. This open shuttle boat will take you all the way to the island that combines breathtaking landscapes with thousands of puffins.

You will embark the boat by the harbour in the village Sørvágur on Vágar island. You will then set off from Sørvágur and take a 30 minutes memorable journey by sea. As you get closer to Mykines, you will start to see puffins flying in the air and sitting on the pristine North Atlantic ocean. This is just a warm-up to what you will experience later.

The crew will sell you the hiking spot when embarking the boat. So you are all set when booking this tour!

When you step on Mykines, you will spend 3 hours on the island. Disembarking the boat requires you to move your body from the boat to the the quayside. Just make sure that you are fit for getting off the boat.

In course of your hours on Mykines Island, you will have time for both a hike and to spot as many puffins that you will ever experience in your life. There is even time for a cup of coffee at the local Mykines café. Here you can get refreshments and a light meal before heading back to Vágar island.

This shuttle boat departs at 09:30 in the morning from the Sørvágur marina. Your certified captain will make sure that you get a safe and enjoyable boat ride.

The boat ride is done in a boat seating 12 people. You will sit comfortable when cruising between Vágar Island and Mykines Island. This tour will secure you a boat ticket to the much talked about island.

Mykines is the most popular summer attraction in the Faroe Islands for good reasons. Once you are there, you will be awe-stricken in a way very few other places on earth allow. This is your chance to experience Mykines with comfort and ease.

Tick Mykines off of your bucket list with this smooth boat tour to the untouched bird island. Check availability by choosing a date.
