The guide arrived a little late, but once we got going, it was clear he was a total professional. His stories were good, his boat handling exceptional and the overall experience was breath-taking. We saw Puffin, Arctic Tern, Guillemot and some other bird species. On this day, the seas were not favourable towards the Seals, so they went unseen.
The bird viewing was great, there was plenty of time to see and observe all of the species. The cave explorations were good, and just got better! The high speed boat manoeuvres were mighty fun and the sound track was very fitting for the overall experiences.

Great experience. We were outfitted with suits that kept us warm and dry, along with helmets. The boat ride was great, we saw several bird colonies in the cliffs and a seal near the boat. The driver was very knowledgable and taught us about the island geography and the birds. The caves were so cool. The driver played music while we were in the caves and then during the return trip. We were able to speed around on the way back to the harbor.

This tour should be on everyone’s bucket list and certainly on your list if you visit the Faroe Islands. The nature around Hestur Island is breathtaking, otherworldly. We saw tens of thousands of birds nesting on the cliffs, miniature penguins on the rocks and puffins in the water. Sailing inside the caves and experiencing their gothic cathedral-like ceilings was humbling. The water, the waves, the vistas – spectacular.
The cherry on top was the playful nature of our captain who sailed the rib boat in a way which made it like a roller coaster ride – a very fun one!

Great tour despite the unfavourable seas. Unfortunately it wasn’t safe to go into the caves when we were there, but the tour was still worth doing and we saw lots of wildlife and got very close to the cliffs and (almost) into one or two of the caves. But I think that just speaks to the professionalism of the tour, that they put passenger safety first. On the plus side, the unusually high waves made the trip over and back at high speed absolutely amazing fun! Just one thing to look out for, the signage at the port is really poor, so we thought we were in the wrong place as no-one was there and there isn’t an office as such (it’s a container).

Probably one of the coolest excursions I have done in my travels. The captain and first mate were great and fun. The boat ride was comfortable and thrilling!
We unfortunately couldn’t go around Hestur but instead went around Nolsoy which was equally exciting with sea caves, birds and sea life!
Rated 5 out of 5
Isla –
Went round Nolsoy due to wind conditions, it did not disappoint! Boat ride fun with accompanying music for some sections and peace in quiet in others so you could enjoy the scenery, sea cliffs and wildlife in natural surroundings. September out of season for nesting birds but we still saw; seals, puffins, and a variety of other sea birds. We got up close to the cliffs and explored several sea caves.
We took the blue bus number 650 (not 101 as stated in the email it does not exist now) from the bus terminal at 10:35 to Gamlaraett ferry port, arrived for 11. The bus drops you off at the ferry port just before going through the new subsea tunnel. The return bus was not until 3pm, so we asked if any of our fellow boat trip passengers could take us to Kirkjubour, just 3 kms away. We were lucky a lovely Portuguese couple had been there the day before and recommended visiting it. We then took a red free bus back to Torshaven at 3:30. If fit you could always walk back on a hiking trail back to Torshaven.

Very fun experience. The crew was professional and the boat ride was exciting. Due to weather conditions (high waves), the boat could not go to Hester Island, but instead launched from a different location (we were informed the evening prior), and we went to Nolsoy Island instead. We were still able to float through caves, but there were no dramatic sea stacks (rock formations) as there would have been at Hester Island. But the ride was still thrilling, and floating gently through the caves (with the terrific music the crew put on) was an ethereal experience. Highly Recommended!

Not a whole lot to see on this tour in September. Bit generous to call this a cave tour, very shallow caves. Tour guide was in the back of the boat, I was in the first row and could not hear anything. Young captain tried to impress the passengers by going way too fast. I could not look up, had to look down.

We had a great time on our tour, though I should point out we did not actually go to Hestur Island. Weather in the Faroe Islands is extremely volatile, and every boat tour we booked on our trip had to change their itinerary to account for rough seas. In this case, our captain actually took us to Nolsoy Island. to the east of Torshavn. It was still a fascinating trip and a lot of fun.

An exceptional experience amongst extraordinary natural wonders and fauna. We encountered hundreds of birds including so many puffins that we stopped counting them!

Basically I gave this tour 2 stars instead of one because we left on time and returned alive. This boat tour company must be one of the worst on the island. I booked the trip the night before, and within 30 minutes they sent an email saying conditions on that side of the island were unsafe for a boat excursion. This is totally understandable and common for these kinds of trip, but it does mean that the company knew the excursion couldn’t be made and sold me a ticket anyways. They said that the excursion had been switched to go to a different part of the island and that they wouldn’t offer a refund or even allow me to switch dates to one in which weather conditions might be more favorable. That was definitely frustrating, since a major reason I had booked the tour was to see the world’s largest sea cave, and that was no longer the tour we’d be going on. Beyond that, the trip was a very steep 700 DKK ($110 US) per person. The “guides” were also really lacking on the entire 90 minute trip, the two men driving spoke roughly three times. Mostly they would just pull over near a place to watch birds and sit for a few minutes.
In short, seeing the cliffs along the coast of the islands was stunning because the Faroes are a beautiful place with breathtaking views to be found everywhere, but if you want a tour with helpful, informative guides and a shred of customer service, look elsewhere.

Booked this the night before our excursion as the weather was looking good and went on another boat tour and loved it. Immediately got an email saying they were launching from somewhere else and going somewhere else due to conditions of the past few days. This caused some confusion and frustration as it felt we were deceived. I totally understand for safety and how quick conditions change in the Faroe Islands, things have to adjust. They wouldn’t let you reschedule or cancel though, which felt strange. We read other reviews of the changed excursion and they seemed bleak, so we were worried. We found the new location in Tórshavn rather easily and the guide said the conditions that day were great, so again we were confused.
We weren’t sure what to expect, however, the trip was INCREDIBLE. We ended up going over to Nólsoy and went in several caves. The boat guide played music so we could hear how it echoed in the caves. We saw many puffins along the cliffs and even a few seals. The tour was a fantastic time and we were so thrilled to have attended. My only comment would be they should have a notice on their website that due to weather the launch location may change to avoid confusion. I don’t know what the original tour to Hestur is like, but I can say this option was also a great time and we had so much fun!

A must-do, Hestur is a truly impressive island that’s well worth a visit. With its grandiose caves, breathtaking cliffs and a bit of adrenalin from the boat’s speed, don’t hesitate to go for it!
Tessa Barsac –
The boat tour was absolutely wonderful and we thank you again sincerely for helping us organise it last minute!
Alberto –
La excursión en lancha fue perfecta, el hombre muy amable y muy profesional todo, no proporcionaron trajes impermeables, salvavidas y cascos. Excursión muy recomendable.
Rebecca Hill –
The tour was excellent! So happy to have explored the caves with you.
Robyn –
So fun! Adrenaline rush, with great scenery! Loved every minute of it.
Lena Edlund –
Det var en helt fantastisk båttur. Kul att köra runt hela ön och få se både fåglar, grottor och höga berg. Åker gärna igen.
Richard Heidemann –
Bølgerne var for høje ved Hestur, så vi sejlede rundt om Nolsoy i stedet for. Vi sejlede gennem en tunnel og ind i grotter. Det var et fantastisk skue. Undervejs spillede de Heavy Metal, hvilket passede perfekt til denne actionmættede oplevelse, som jeg kun kan anbefale meget varmt. Det føles næsten som en rutsjebane til havs.
Ashley Jacobs –
Stunning scenery and fun boat ride!
Svetlana Titova –
This tour is a must have experience in the Faroe Islands! We enjoyed every minute of the tour. It is a perfect balance of speed boat thrill, unforgettable scenery, wild life encounters, and cave discoveries! Our captain was absolutely top notch! He ensured safety and comfort of each passenger, he was very knowledgeable about the birds of Hestur and a virtuoso of navigating through the caves!
Einar –
Fantastisk tur med hele spennet fra action i høy hastighet, storhavets krefter, magisk landskap, fuglefjell og storslagne grotter. Svært profesjonelt gjennomført og meget dyktig guide/skipper.
Craig Procter –
The guide arrived a little late, but once we got going, it was clear he was a total professional. His stories were good, his boat handling exceptional and the overall experience was breath-taking. We saw Puffin, Arctic Tern, Guillemot and some other bird species. On this day, the seas were not favourable towards the Seals, so they went unseen.
The bird viewing was great, there was plenty of time to see and observe all of the species. The cave explorations were good, and just got better! The high speed boat manoeuvres were mighty fun and the sound track was very fitting for the overall experiences.
Ellinor –
Över all förväntan! Rekommenderar starkt.
Dani –
It was a wonderful experience. It would have been even better if the weather cooperated. We saw several varieties of birds and a seal. The caves were beautiful – multiple colors. Ofcourse, the best was the high speed ending!
Maureen –
Great experience. We were outfitted with suits that kept us warm and dry, along with helmets. The boat ride was great, we saw several bird colonies in the cliffs and a seal near the boat. The driver was very knowledgable and taught us about the island geography and the birds. The caves were so cool. The driver played music while we were in the caves and then during the return trip. We were able to speed around on the way back to the harbor.
Lisa –
I highly recommend this experience to all! We brought 2 groups to explore the Faroe Islands and this was definitely the favorite activity for all our guests. The boat’s high speed is exhilarating, the Hestur Islands cliffs are breath-taking, and being able to venture into the newly recognized largest sea cave in the world is truly incredible! Thank you for such a fun experience.
Trine –
The weather was wrong for the planned tour, so we sailed to see some smaller caves from the outside. The guide was very nice.
Alessandro –
Great experience even with bad weather.
The guide was very nice and Expert.
Highly recommended!
Volinka Augustenborg –
This tour should be on everyone’s bucket list and certainly on your list if you visit the Faroe Islands. The nature around Hestur Island is breathtaking, otherworldly. We saw tens of thousands of birds nesting on the cliffs, miniature penguins on the rocks and puffins in the water. Sailing inside the caves and experiencing their gothic cathedral-like ceilings was humbling. The water, the waves, the vistas – spectacular.
The cherry on top was the playful nature of our captain who sailed the rib boat in a way which made it like a roller coaster ride – a very fun one!
Szilvia –
Unforgettable! If there is only one boat tour you want take in Faroe this should be the one.
Shelly –
Great tour despite the unfavourable seas. Unfortunately it wasn’t safe to go into the caves when we were there, but the tour was still worth doing and we saw lots of wildlife and got very close to the cliffs and (almost) into one or two of the caves. But I think that just speaks to the professionalism of the tour, that they put passenger safety first. On the plus side, the unusually high waves made the trip over and back at high speed absolutely amazing fun! Just one thing to look out for, the signage at the port is really poor, so we thought we were in the wrong place as no-one was there and there isn’t an office as such (it’s a container).
Olga –
a great experience! a big adrenaline rush, the views were spectacular and the caves interesting, we also got a chance to see some puffins flying about (: just get ready to get wet!
Bettina –
It was a great Experience, our Guide was very nice and he informed us quite well about birds, the landscape, the lighthouse and the special Färöer festival, which is once a year. Very interesting. As the weather was not as thy expected, they changed the route, so we had the chance to visit another island with caves and lots of spectacular cliffs. on the way back to the harbor our captain really turned the trip into a thrilling trip – it was like on a rollercoaster. Very funny, all the kids loved it! Thank you for such a great morning !
Cath and Tim –
A great way to see the island up close. We were delighted to see puffins nesting and flying. Going into the caves was a magical experience. The safety kit provided was very good, with knowledgeable and friendly guides. Thrilling FAST trip across the bay was a great ending to a “must do” trip. Thank you.
Andrew Green –
Great boat trip was hugely fun. We got cancelled one day due to weather, but got on the next day. Excellent communication with us. Wet suits were fabulous to keep us dry and warm on somewhat rough sea day. Riding fast with music, going into the caves, seeing puffins — loved it!
Matthew –
Probably one of the coolest excursions I have done in my travels. The captain and first mate were great and fun. The boat ride was comfortable and thrilling!
We unfortunately couldn’t go around Hestur but instead went around Nolsoy which was equally exciting with sea caves, birds and sea life!
Isla –
Went round Nolsoy due to wind conditions, it did not disappoint! Boat ride fun with accompanying music for some sections and peace in quiet in others so you could enjoy the scenery, sea cliffs and wildlife in natural surroundings. September out of season for nesting birds but we still saw; seals, puffins, and a variety of other sea birds. We got up close to the cliffs and explored several sea caves.
We took the blue bus number 650 (not 101 as stated in the email it does not exist now) from the bus terminal at 10:35 to Gamlaraett ferry port, arrived for 11. The bus drops you off at the ferry port just before going through the new subsea tunnel. The return bus was not until 3pm, so we asked if any of our fellow boat trip passengers could take us to Kirkjubour, just 3 kms away. We were lucky a lovely Portuguese couple had been there the day before and recommended visiting it. We then took a red free bus back to Torshaven at 3:30. If fit you could always walk back on a hiking trail back to Torshaven.
Evelyn Bailey –
This was a highlight on our short trip to the Faroe Islands. We went on September 1 so the puffins had already moved on, but the exhilarating boat ride, cliffs, caves, and info from the captain made it all worthwhile. Highly recommend!
Peter Vukosavich –
Very fun experience. The crew was professional and the boat ride was exciting. Due to weather conditions (high waves), the boat could not go to Hester Island, but instead launched from a different location (we were informed the evening prior), and we went to Nolsoy Island instead. We were still able to float through caves, but there were no dramatic sea stacks (rock formations) as there would have been at Hester Island. But the ride was still thrilling, and floating gently through the caves (with the terrific music the crew put on) was an ethereal experience. Highly Recommended!
Don Gabrielson –
Not a whole lot to see on this tour in September. Bit generous to call this a cave tour, very shallow caves. Tour guide was in the back of the boat, I was in the first row and could not hear anything. Young captain tried to impress the passengers by going way too fast. I could not look up, had to look down.
Allen Brady –
We had a great time on our tour, though I should point out we did not actually go to Hestur Island. Weather in the Faroe Islands is extremely volatile, and every boat tour we booked on our trip had to change their itinerary to account for rough seas. In this case, our captain actually took us to Nolsoy Island. to the east of Torshavn. It was still a fascinating trip and a lot of fun.
I’ve posted videos of our excursion to YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc_BGqFdMdCkIgQX_lnAq8tte6fNWMemy.
Hülya turan –
The best day of my life!!!! Words cant describe how magical it was.
Ryan Roberts –
This was an absolutely amazing boat tour. Captain and crew were nice and helpful. They explained where we were and some history about the island. Luckily the weather was great and we were able to go around the island and into multiple caves. So many beautiful jaw dropping views!! Highly recommend this tour. It’s worth every cent!
Michael Anderson –
Thrilling. Absolutely jaw-dropping scenery, great tour guides
CHRISTINA TALATINI –
This tour is a MUST if you come to Faroe islands. The scenery is exceptional and combined with the authentic music, when played in the caves where it sounds like in a cathedral is breathtaking. The speed boat racing home on the harbour with iconic Rock music sounds is unforgettable. Sigmund and his co-pilot where absolutely kind and skilled, looked after us very well and gave us much interesting information. Thumbs Up for this team !
Laia –
Ho tornaria a fer una i mil vegades, quina experiència més meravellosa i increïble!!! Va ser brutaaaal!!!!
Tabitha Wiedmer –
It was amazing.
Gerhard –
Great Trip and experience with friendly and professional guides. In my opinion an absolute ‘must-do’ on the Faroes.
Janeen –
Such a fun & exciting way to see another piece of the Faroe Islands. The music they play is a nice touch & the guide is very informative. We saw puffins, seals, & lots of other bird life on our trip!
Sakura –
Absolute must do if you’re in the islands!! Sigmund was a wonderful guide and I felt safe the whole time. Wonderful view of birds and the sea caves are dope. Also-their choice in music is 100% spot on. Will do again if ever back in the islands!
Michael Garfield Sørensen –
An amazing fast fun boat ride to a spectacular place to see birds, sea caves, and the Faroe Islands in all their glory😍
Ezgi Tekin –
What an amazing day! The weather was also very good but the things we have seen along the way and the caves were amazing… we had an incredible captain Sigmund, and he made it a very exciting ride for all that he got applause at the ebd of the day… caves are amazing and i think this should definitely be on people’s list when they come to Faroes.. its different than anything you will be seeing..
Michelle Cyca –
This boat tour was a highlight of our trip for sure! We were lucky with perfect weather to see the spectacular scenery! This is a must do on your trip to the Faroe Islands!
Nicole –
This tour ended up being one of my favourite activities from a week in the islands. We went on a couple boat tours and this one stood out as the most unique. We saw more puffins than anywhere else on the islands and the boat ride was so fun. Our guides were a little less personable than other tours we went on but no complaints considering how good the tour was otherwise.
Greg and Celine –
An exceptional experience amongst extraordinary natural wonders and fauna. We encountered hundreds of birds including so many puffins that we stopped counting them! We went round the island at very slow speed enjoying the views and the sound of the birds and waves. Going through the caves was wonderful, especially with the very adapted and beautiful music.
Thumbs up for the crew who made us feel 100% safe all along the experience. We highly recommend!
Fiona –
Very exciting!
Gillian –
Original itinary not possible due to high waves. Alternative itinary was very good. Speed boat experience exciting. Saw puffins and other birds as well as a few seals. And, of course went inside some very beautiful caves with their very pretty pink colours
Alison –
This tour is fun and I really enjoyed it. The two young guides were very professional and carefully manoeuvred the boat into caves – a magical experience. We even saw some puffins!
ian –
Go for it! This was a highlight during our trip.
It is a cruise around the island of Hestur showing
the impressive cliffs, birdlife and an a “wow!”-cave.
It was a slightly misty day, perfect for atmospheric photos.
The ride alone was worthwhile
Great.
Tom –
Super fun and amazing views! It was totally worth it!
Mark Lemley –
An amazing experience! You will have a short but fast and thrilling ride out to the island, and then a leisurely hour or more to see the birds, the stunning cliffs, and explore the sea caves. The guide is friendly and knowledgeable, and the scenery and wildlife are unbelievable.
Mick –
This tour was an absolute highlight on our week long tour of the Faroe Islands. We were lucky enough to have perfect weather which helped elevate an already wonderful experience. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable and struck a perfect balance of fun, safety and information. Without giving anything away, exploring the sea caves was an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend booking this tour.
Michael Castens –
Excellent trip. The boat got really close to the cliffs, and was small enough to get right in the sea cave and other inlets. Using a rib minimised the travelling time to and from the island, leaving more time there.
Norbert –
Great adventure !
Mie –
Det var en rigtig flot tur, vi nød hvert et øjeblik. Vi startede i tåge og kunne næsten ikke se øen, men det lettede og vi fik solskin. Fantastisk idé med musik når vi sejledebind i grotterne.
Kasia –
A fantastic experience, far beyond my expectations!
You can enjoy the local wildlife, spot different bird species, and admire impressive cliffs, rocks in various shapes and colors, and silent caves filled with mist. Absolutely breathtaking. The silence and echo inside the caves, as you pass right through them-it all leaves you speechless.
The boat ride itself is super fun, especially on the way back to the main island when the captain hit full speed and we were all screaming with excitement, flying through the curves! We had an absolute blast! By far the best experience in the Faroe Islands!
Ronja Macholdt –
It was really fun and we enjoyed our boat Trip to Hestur and Klemensgjogv a lot!
Pia –
Havde min datter på 17 og søn på 9 med på bådtur. Kan varmt anbefales, det var en fantastisk oplevelse for os alle. Både action med fart og det stille og smukke scenarie med klipper, grotter og fugleliv.
Det kunne vi sagtens gøre igen 🙂
Claus –
A super experience for the family (kids 11 and 14 loved it). Great information about the birdlife on and around the island and thrilling ride to and from the island and through the caves. Can only recommend.
Megan –
Excellent! They provided proper gear , full suits and helmet with face shield. Our driver had curated an awesome playlist which was timed perfectly. Wonderful ride!
Ramona –
Sarebbe stata una bella esperienza, se non fossimo finiti nei posti dietro il guidatore.
Visibilità estremamente limitata, mi spiace ma a queste condizioni non vale la pena.
Tornassi indietro, non lo rifarei.
Gema Gilgado –
EXCELLENT – EXCELLENT – EXCELLENT!! Worth every cent! Great captain and a experience you cannot miss if in Feroe Islands! Promise.
Joseph Duke –
Basically I gave this tour 2 stars instead of one because we left on time and returned alive. This boat tour company must be one of the worst on the island. I booked the trip the night before, and within 30 minutes they sent an email saying conditions on that side of the island were unsafe for a boat excursion. This is totally understandable and common for these kinds of trip, but it does mean that the company knew the excursion couldn’t be made and sold me a ticket anyways. They said that the excursion had been switched to go to a different part of the island and that they wouldn’t offer a refund or even allow me to switch dates to one in which weather conditions might be more favorable. That was definitely frustrating, since a major reason I had booked the tour was to see the world’s largest sea cave, and that was no longer the tour we’d be going on. Beyond that, the trip was a very steep 700 DKK ($110 US) per person. The “guides” were also really lacking on the entire 90 minute trip, the two men driving spoke roughly three times. Mostly they would just pull over near a place to watch birds and sit for a few minutes.
In short, seeing the cliffs along the coast of the islands was stunning because the Faroes are a beautiful place with breathtaking views to be found everywhere, but if you want a tour with helpful, informative guides and a shred of customer service, look elsewhere.
Stephanie –
Booked this the night before our excursion as the weather was looking good and went on another boat tour and loved it. Immediately got an email saying they were launching from somewhere else and going somewhere else due to conditions of the past few days. This caused some confusion and frustration as it felt we were deceived. I totally understand for safety and how quick conditions change in the Faroe Islands, things have to adjust. They wouldn’t let you reschedule or cancel though, which felt strange. We read other reviews of the changed excursion and they seemed bleak, so we were worried. We found the new location in Tórshavn rather easily and the guide said the conditions that day were great, so again we were confused.
We weren’t sure what to expect, however, the trip was INCREDIBLE. We ended up going over to Nólsoy and went in several caves. The boat guide played music so we could hear how it echoed in the caves. We saw many puffins along the cliffs and even a few seals. The tour was a fantastic time and we were so thrilled to have attended. My only comment would be they should have a notice on their website that due to weather the launch location may change to avoid confusion. I don’t know what the original tour to Hestur is like, but I can say this option was also a great time and we had so much fun!
Mariane –
Great tour and experience. We saw puffins, Caves and the nature from the seaside. The return trip also included flying throgh the waves. So nice.
Ninna Knudsen –
Amazing boat tour to experience the beautiful sea, dramatic cliffs and caves with music along the way. We had enough time to take it all in and take pictures. It was a thrilling ride back through the waves at high speed. Our guide was very friendly and informative. My brother got his usual sea sickness and was provided with water and they made sure to check up on him. We really recommend this! It was a highlight of our trip.
Alan and Lynne Morris –
We had the best time… weather great and crew excellent. We learnt a lot and felt safe throughout the whole experience.
Highly recommend…..
Michael Nikolajsen –
En fuldstændig fantastisk oplevelse🤩 Oversteg mine forventninger meget, vejret var med os og vi kom ind i flere fantastiske bugter og huler.
Stor ros til kaptajnen for hans måde at sejle på.
Geertje –
On our last day at Fareöer we had our boottrip, what an amazing experience!!! Like the cherry on the cake! Astonishing beautyfull, we were also very lucky with the weather.
We were to late in the season to see any Puffins, but that didn’t matter.
We highly recommended to experience this.
Jennie Wall –
Helt fantastisk båttur!!! Kan verkligen rekommendera.
Henry D –
Great tour! One of the best experiences at Faroe during our 11 day trip. Highly recommended!
Ryan –
Absolutely amazing would give 10/5 stars. The tour guides were amazing took their time, were informative, made the boat ride fun and gave a perfect experience. Should be on everyone’s list to do when visiting the Faroe Islands!
