Skúvoy Island Puffin Safari Walk

Experience the tranquillity on Skúvoy Island away from the crowds. Enjoy the puffins and sitting in a cosy living room and be pleased by the splendid surroundings.

This tour comes with a tour guide who is a farmer on Skúvoy Island, home to less than 30 people. Your tour guide will take you out in the unspoiled nature to discover stunning landscapes and find peace of mind.

Skúvoy Island will turn the city volume down to silence. The nature and remoteness of the island will give you that warm feeling of happiness. This puffin and bird paradise is easily a highlight for any traveller to the Faroe Islands.

The ferry to Skúvoy Island only sails year round but puffins roam here from May to late August and this is when you get the chance to explore the island accompanied by a local tour guide. Once you disembark the Skúvoy ferry, your guide will greet you at the harbour.

After a walk to see the adorable puffin and the impressive cliffs for 3 hours, you will step into a quiet house in the only settlement on the island. This is your tour guide's home and here you will enjoy local Smørrebrød - bread with local produce.  

Your tour guide's house is nestled in the heart of the small village with colourful neighbouring homes. The island itself and the cosy house is a place of rest. Spend some time here independently before taking the ferry back to the mainland.
