Mykines Island Puffin Experience | Overnight Stay

Step away from the ordinary and immerse yourself in the peaceful rhythm of Mykines Island as evening settles over this remote outpost. Here, where few locals and countless puffins share the landscape, you will discover a tranquility that feels almost forgotten by the modern world. Book for 2-4 travellers. You need to book for at least 2 people.

As daylight softens, the island reveals its most intimate character. The melodic chorus of seabirds fills the air, accompanied by the gentle murmur of the village stream winding between traditional grass-roofed houses. Sheep call across the hillsides to their lambs, whilst the North Atlantic waves provide a constant backdrop—a reminder of the ocean's eternal presence around the island.

After enjoying a hearty dinner, you will join a guided hike to the puffin colonies. Armed with coffee and homemade treats, you will venture out into the long Nordic twilight—remember, summer nights in the Faroe Islands gift us with daylight until nearly 11pm. This extended golden hour transforms the landscape into something magical, perfect for observing puffins returning to their burrows and gannets soaring on evening thermals. The sunset, when it finally arrives, paints the cliffs and ocean in extraordinary orange colours.

Your accommodation awaits in a characterful local guesthouse, where snug double rooms tucked beneath the sloping ceiling on the first floor will give you a restful sleep after your evening outdoor adventure. The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming—true local hospitality in its simplest, most heartfelt form.

Morning brings a full breakfast before you are free to explore at your leisure. Perhaps a final wander through the village, down to the shoreline, or one last trek to the cliff edges where countless seabirds continue their timeless dance. The morning ferry back to Sørvágur on Vágar Island will be waiting, but Mykines Island will have already left its mark on your heart. Your host and guide will take you to the harbour when it is time for you to leave.
