The trip was breathe-taking – the best boat-trip we´ve ever made. Totally our 3-week stay on Färöer has been our best trip ever. So nice people, that wonderful coastlines, mountains, fjords an valleys, that quietness. Absolute waste-free (and boat-free) beaches: never seen this in the last 20 years – nowhere.
The weather presented us all colours: we liked the fog, the storm and the sun. Perfect.
As you can read: we were so happy and I dreamed of Färöer every night in the first two weeks, as we were home again 🙂

We knew that we would be too late in the year for Puffins and other birds but nonetheless, it’s always good to get out on the water and it was really interesting to see the land from a different perspective. How we got into some of the coves and on one occasion, a cave with such a large boat was testament to the skipper’s impressive skills. A really good trip on what seemed to be an immaculately kept boat with plenty of deck space and (for the Faroese weather) indoor seating as well.

Despite bad weather conditions, the tour was still pretty awesome. The beginning was a bit wet and boring in September since all the birds including the puffins were already gone, but once we headed into the cliffs, the sun came out and everything just looked absolutely amazing. Still worth it in September!

We booked this excursion in March for our September trip. When we arrived at the tourist office, they could not find our reservation. I pulled it up on my phone and the attendant called the captain and explained the situation and asked if it would be okay to have us aboard the apparently full boat. He said yes, thankfully.
The tour was lovely. It appeared that most of our fellow passengers were Danes from a paint company on an organized trip. But there were also an Irish couple and a second American couple. The views were amazing, but the speaker system was not great. Combine that with the captain who spoke very fast and with a challenging accent and we often couldn’t understand what was being said. We did, however, hear that there are 80,000 salmon in one of those aquaculture rings that you pass buy on the way out of the harbor.
At dinner that night I got a call on my cell phone. It was an international number that I didn’t recognize. The person who called was from Guide to Faroe Islands. He confirmed we had taken the tour earlier in the day. He asked if it was our first time in the Faroes. It was. He said that someone may have used our tickets to take the boat excursion in April. If true, I cannot imagine how that could of been. Our tickets were very clearly for the day we used them and not for sometime in April.
Anyway, excepting that minor kerfluffle, everything was fine. Our boat turned south where the waters were placid. The turnaround point was the Witch’s Finger, sort of near the airport. The captain, we think, said that the northerly route, which we did not take, had 4-6 meter waves. That sounds wild! Glad he went the southerly way, and that we had a sunny day in late September.

I had originally booked the early PM tour, but it was canceled due to low demand, possibly related to the ongoing strike. I had enough gas to reroute to a morning trip. I think if there had been fewer people, I might have enjoyed this more, especially if it got too cold on the upper deck – then I could go sit indoors (ex. trip back). Heads up that everyone (who can) should sit on the right side. They are kind enough to spin the boat around quickly, but first up is always the right. Of course, the day I chose was frigid, which didn’t help. The word puffin was used a lot, but I could not see one (probably too early in the season and wrong time of day). I hope they switch to an electric boat in the future for the environment, including noise.

A little crowded (the only reason it’s a 4/5 rather than 5/5 for me), but other than that it was a great tour – a bit cloudy and occasionally a little windy, but I had no issues with that whatsoever. We got the southern tour (to Trøllkonufingur), with great views of the coastline and the huge monolith. Saw some puffins at a distance, but if you want to see them in any detail on a boat ride like this, bring a pair of binoculars! I was mostly interested in the environment, nature and geology, and for me the trip was truly worth it!
Friendly staff, and the visitor center is a neat place to stop after the tour for a bathroom break, a souvenir or something to eat.

The boat ride was amazing. And it was so much fun that the captain sailed into some of the small crevices. The boat was unfortunately super crowded that day and it was hard to even get a spot at the railing to take pictures (but I think we were just unlucky). Also, we were incorrectly informed that the public bus would wait for the boat if the boat were delayed on the return but it did not so we had to wait two hours for the next bus.

Ein Must-Do auf den Färöern. Der Kapitän hat das Boot gut zu den schönen Stellen der Kliffs gebracht. Gut verständliche, englisch sprachige Kommentare zwischendurch. Sauberes Schiff mit ausreichend Platz im Innenbereich, wenn das Wetter mal nicht so sein sollte. Ich hatte zuerst Bedenken, ob ich eine Reisetablette einnehmen müsste wegen unruhiger See. Das war nicht notwendig, hat für Alle wunderbar gepasst. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Fahrt. Tipp: zuvor noch in das Vestmanna Vafe zum Buffet-Essen gehen oder danach zum Kaffee, Kuchen oder Eis. Auch das kleine Saga-museum, das dort im 1. Stock ist, ist ganz nett zu besuchen, allerdings mit brutalen Einblicken…..nichts für kleine Kinder. Die Bootstour jedoch ist für alt und jung ein tolles Erlebnis . Danke dafür.

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!

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 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.

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!

We booked this excursion in March for our September trip. When we arrived at the tourist office, they could not find our reservation.

The views were amazing, but the speaker system was not great. Combine that with the captain who spoke very fast and with a challenging accent and we often couldn’t understand what was being said. We did, however, hear that there are 80,000 salmon in one of those aquaculture rings that you pass buy on the way out of the harbor.
At dinner that night I got a call on my cell phone. It was an international number that I didn’t recognize. The person who called was from Guide to Faroe Islands. He confirmed we had taken the tour earlier in the day. He asked if it was our first time in the Faroes. It was. He said that someone may have used our tickets to take the boat excursion in April. If true, I cannot imagine how that could of been. Our tickets were very clearly for the day we used them and not for sometime in April.
Anyway, excepting that minor kerfluffle, everything was fine. Our boat turned south where the waters were placid. The turnaround point was the Witch’s Finger, sort of near the airport. The captain, we think, said that the northerly route, which we did not take, had 4-6 meter waves. That sounds wild! Glad he went the southerly way, and that we had a sunny day in late September.

Very wonderful experience.
It was a amazing tour with breathtaking landscapes.
Also we could saw that the guides loved what they were doing.
Highly recommended 🙂

Great tour, the cliffs are breathtaking.
Carol –
Really beautiful cliffs! I would highly recommend!
Adrian Greenwood –
An exciting trip, but would have been better with a Guide to Faroe Islands person to point out the birds better.
It was pleasing to be able to go almost to Saksun.
Flemming Jørgensen –
Great trip with perfect weather. Best experience on our trip to the Faroe Islands
Gwenaelle PAULIC –
Agréable balade, beaucoup d oiseaux dans les falaises, le bateau entre dans les grottes avec vues superbes sur des cascades, la mer était calme mais comme il s agit d un petit bateau cela bouge malgré tout, plutôt amusant
Steven Henry Schreiber –
Excellent tour to view the majestic Vestmanna Sea Cliffs.
Martin Predota –
Amazing trip, unfortgettable
Demetrios –
Wonderful tour! The boat was so nice and comfortable, the captain was very skilled at driving. It was perfect for a more relaxed day of sight seeing.
Fiona –
I had originally booked the early PM tour, but it was canceled due to low demand, possibly related to the ongoing strike. I had enough gas to reroute to a morning trip. I think if there had been fewer people, I might have enjoyed this more, especially if it got too cold on the upper deck – then I could go sit indoors (ex. trip back). Heads up that everyone (who can) should sit on the right side. They are kind enough to spin the boat around quickly, but first up is always the right. Of course, the day I chose was frigid, which didn’t help. The word puffin was used a lot, but I could not see one (probably too early in the season and wrong time of day). I hope they switch to an electric boat in the future for the environment, including noise.
Maigel –
IT was a great Trip again to the cliffs.
Bo Olsen –
Excellent trip! Well planed. Thanks for a great experience.
Chris –
Wonderfull..the best cliffs so far I’ve seen..high five😍
gabriel castilla castillo –
Nice trip, amazing views and a lot of puffings !
Paul –
Outstanding experience. Pictures don’t do justice to the scenery. A must when visiting Faroe Islands. I don’t recommend for those who suffer from sea sickness tho.
Lusa –
It was a fun tour to experience the islands from a different angle, and a laid back activity if you have been intensely hiking around for a few days. My tour was raining all the way, but for me, the weather just added more charm to it. And I have been on the upper deck the whole time, enjoyed every bit of it 🙂
And 5 stars to the staff who organizes this tour, I have to reschedule multiple times for this boat tour, but each time I got a response super fast!

Claus Ortved Melcher –
Thank you for a wonderful boat ride.
Brittany Byrd –
Beautiful scenery even on a very rainy day! Boat does have inside seating but no covered area when you are outside. The clifts are magnificent! Captain pulls into areas where you are very close to these formations. We were also provided with information about the area and salmon farming. If you are a chocolate lover, don’t miss the hot chocolate at the cafe on the dock. Excellent!
Lucy –
We had a brilliant time on this trip. It was an amazing way to see the islands from a different angle, and to get up close with the cliffs and seabirds. The boat was clean, not busy at all and the staff were friendly and informative
Nira Bhakta –
Beautiful!! Loved this boat tour and highly recommend it! Such a cool and unique place to visit!
Frances –
The boat trip to the cliffs was spectacular despite the disappointing weather. Plenty of room on the boat to move around for photos.
Christer –
A little crowded (the only reason it’s a 4/5 rather than 5/5 for me), but other than that it was a great tour – a bit cloudy and occasionally a little windy, but I had no issues with that whatsoever. We got the southern tour (to Trøllkonufingur), with great views of the coastline and the huge monolith. Saw some puffins at a distance, but if you want to see them in any detail on a boat ride like this, bring a pair of binoculars! I was mostly interested in the environment, nature and geology, and for me the trip was truly worth it!
Friendly staff, and the visitor center is a neat place to stop after the tour for a bathroom break, a souvenir or something to eat.
Marie Helweg-Larsen –
The boat ride was amazing. And it was so much fun that the captain sailed into some of the small crevices. The boat was unfortunately super crowded that day and it was hard to even get a spot at the railing to take pictures (but I think we were just unlucky). Also, we were incorrectly informed that the public bus would wait for the boat if the boat were delayed on the return but it did not so we had to wait two hours for the next bus.
Richard –
Really enjoyed this trip. The captain managed to get the boat right up to all the sights.
Helena Masó –
The tour was amazing!!!
Lorena –
An excellent trip with amazing views.. wear waterproof clothes!
Maureen –
Our original tour (to the Vestmanna cliffs and Mykines) was cancelled due to rough seas, so we were booked on this tour instead. Although we were disappointed to not go to Mykines, we had a good time on this tour. The captain showed us beautiful scenery, lots of birds, some puffins, sheep and even a seal! We also got up close to the Witches Finger. It was a relaxing way to see the cliffs for a different perspective.
Susan Pozer –
The cliffs are spectacular and they do a great job taking you in close to the cliffs.
Marite –
Very nice and good organized trip. Many amazing spots to see. We enjoyed this trip very much. It really worth to take👌
Megan –
This was an incredible trip. A highly skilled skipper that got us into, through, under and around the many coastal basalt cravasses, archways and stacks.
Giulia –
Absolutely wonderful!
Paul –
Beautiful cruise along the cliffs of Vestmanna to see lots of bird life and unbelievable nature impossible to see without one of these cruises.
Very easy to board and see the scenery though best to board early to get an outside position.
Jens –
The boat tour at the Vestmanna cliffs was a very interesting and varied tour. Can only be recommended
Justin Nickerson –
Definitely recommend this boat tour. The views that you are able to get from the sea are worth it! Tour guides were enthusiastic and pointed out many points of interest. Highly recommend!
Josep Esteso –
Experiéncia molt recomanable, si visites les Illes Feroe no te la pots perdre. Els penyassegats, coves i formacions rocoses són espectaculars.
Nikoletta –
Fantastic tour
Oscar –
Great boat trip on nice and safe boat. Could be worth mention that some parts have a lot of waves, so if you get seasick easy it can be a little bit rough.
Matthew –
What a fun experience! Despite weather not permitting us to go north of Vestmanna along the cliffs of Streymoy, the captain took us along the eastern coast of Vagar allowing us to see the caves, birds and ask the way down to the Witches Finger (Trollkonufingur). Highly recommend this tour!
Guglielmo Menegolo –
Gorgeous place in Faroe Islands, you absolutely cannot miss it. The boat goes very close to the cliffs and it’s really impressive.
Alex –
Absolutely wonderful trip. Unbelievable scenery. Well organized.
Kameron –
Absolutely recommend this boat tour. The scenery is unbelievable and the boat was spacious and comfortable. The only negative, the tour isn’t long enough. I could have spent many more hours touring the incredible sights Faroe has to offer. However very satisfied and happy we did this. Thank you.
Mark S –
Really wonderful time on this boat tour. Dress warm and with rain gear but it’s also easy to pop inside to dry off a bit here and there. Highly recommended.
Fernando –
Excelente experiencia. Fue más de lo que esperaba. Muy seguro y vistas increíbles.
CMC –
Great experience Shear beauty of the islands just pops when viewed from the sea. The abundant sunshine certainly added to the magnificence of this tour. Well worth it
Barbara Dengler –
Scenery is fabulous. Great narration of what we were seeing. Excellent sailing into caves and around sea stacks. Terrific perspective of the Witch’s Finger. Captain pointed out wildlife and allowed sufficient time to allow for photos and even positioned the boat for optional views.
Allen Brady –
We had a great time on this excursion, though we were a few weeks past puffin season. We had rough water on our cruise, but we were still able to enjoy the scenery from the deck.
Michael Anderson –
good trip, stunning sights
Sukanya –
Really enjoyed the tour. The captain and crew were informative and very helpful.
Tabitha –
It was wonderful. Also thank you for the differents explanations.
Nic Atherton –
Amazingly scenic trip! Were lucky enough to see some Puffins & a seal too. Commentary was great, water was calm, boat was comfortable though packed quite full. Would recommend.
Shamim –
Brilliant boat trip, the views were awesome! Highly recommend!
Kim Osterberger –
This was one of the most memorable boat rides. Excellent staff, captain/driver was amazing. Does get cold so dress for all weather!
Marga –
Great views and explanations! Very skilled skipper. Highly recommended!
Jesús Sutil –
Wonderful landscapes
ERIC FEUNTEUN –
Great tour. Amazing captain bringing the boat close to the cliff; not many bird at this season. Good info to reschedule due to weather
Michael Teheen –
Great trip, the captain worked hard to make the journey exciting. He threaded his ship through the rock formations and squeezed through gaps that were surprisingly small. We saw tons of puffins and picture perfect views despite the rainy conditions.
Christina Fröhlich –
Ein tolles Erlebnis, nette Crew, Preis/Leistung passt optimal.
War schon mein zweites Mal….jederzeit wieder 😊
Einhoren –
Very beautiful tour with amazing impressions.great tour guide, small group, good boat. Everything Was perfect.
Micah Leong –
Fantastic experience! The scenery was mesmerising, not to mention with the abundance of birds. The captain pointed out the different birds that we came across. We were lucky to have lots of sun and calm seas. They also provided helmets before we sail into smaller areas. The boat is timed nicely with the public bus from Tórshavn which is a plus. Overall, great experience and worth the price! But be prepared to be dressed appropriately for the cold sea breeze.
Dimitrios –
We had an amazing trip! The captain went above and beyond to keep things thrilling—navigating the ship skillfully through narrow gaps between dramatic rock formations. He explained many details giving us useful insights. Even with the light rain, we were treated to stunning views. Guide to Faroe is always available in case of any doubts and the customers experience is at another level. Thank you!
hardy –
super trip
Stig –
This is absolutely a “must see” event when visiting Faroe Islands. The boat took us along the cliff cost with one stunning view after the other.
We were lucky with sun and only light winds (4-6 m/s), but even then, it is cold on sea. Make sure to bring gloves, and something to protect your head from the wind.
Gitte Urfeldt –
Fantastisk tur
Rolf –
An outstanding experience with an excellent skipper and his team!
G.J Vries –
Perfect trip with Nice views on the cliffs and births
Catherine –
Nice experience.
Good comments during the trip.
You must sit outside.
Ingrid –
Interesting trip along the sea cliffs in a comfortable boat. Great views of sea stacks, caves and the towering cliffs above. Informative commentary. Crew very friendly. If the weather / swell doesn’t work for this trip they offer an alternative route to ‘witches finger’.
Ingrid & Michael
Sam –
This is a wonderful short tour with impressive scenery. I recommend it without hesitation.
Kate Tilton –
This was a great trip! It was a last minute decision that we made while having tea and coffee at the Vestmanna Cafe/Tourist Center. The Captain did an amazing job getting us up close to cliffs and rock formations. We saw lots of birds, including Puffins. The boat was also very comfortable. This was on of the highlights of our trip so far,
Megi Kodraj –
Great experience, unique way to discover the Faroe Islands. Very friendly and professional staff!
Marit Thorsen –
Fantastisk opplevelse! Så imponert over skipperen som manøvrerte oss inn i trange farvann og imellom klipper og skjær. Veldig spennende og veldig kjekt å se dette spektakulære naturfenomenet, og alt fugleliv som var på klippene. Topp karakter👏
Sergio –
Fantastic tour with stunning views. Highly recommended
Franz Zach –
An exciting tour along the cliffs and right into the cliffs, accompanied by excellent commentary from the competent skipper!
Gudrun –
Ein Must-Do auf den Färöern. Der Kapitän hat das Boot gut zu den schönen Stellen der Kliffs gebracht. Gut verständliche, englisch sprachige Kommentare zwischendurch. Sauberes Schiff mit ausreichend Platz im Innenbereich, wenn das Wetter mal nicht so sein sollte. Ich hatte zuerst Bedenken, ob ich eine Reisetablette einnehmen müsste wegen unruhiger See. Das war nicht notwendig, hat für Alle wunderbar gepasst. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Fahrt. Tipp: zuvor noch in das Vestmanna Vafe zum Buffet-Essen gehen oder danach zum Kaffee, Kuchen oder Eis. Auch das kleine Saga-museum, das dort im 1. Stock ist, ist ganz nett zu besuchen, allerdings mit brutalen Einblicken…..nichts für kleine Kinder. Die Bootstour jedoch ist für alt und jung ein tolles Erlebnis . Danke dafür.
Gunna –
Frábær ferð og skemmtileg. Góður leiðsögumaður og allt fumlaust.
Henneberger –
It was incredibly impressive. An absolute must-do on the Faroe Islands. Fascinating how the captain maneuvered the ship between the rocks. Very informative announcements, which could have been a bit louder.
Jenny –
An ideal excursion along the Vestmanna cliffs. We got quite close to the cliffs. We especially enjoyed the elephant-shaped mountain and sailing through the arches. The blue color of the water is stunning. We also got to sail past Vestmanna’s iconic figure – the sharp rock separated from the cliff.
The guide was excellent, friendly, and very approachable.
I would recommend it without hesitation.
Amanda –
Amazing experience! Our guide was welcoming, kind and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed seeing beautiful scenery, local birds and wildlife and learning the history of the Faroe Islands from a local. Highly recommend this trip to others!
Terese –
Definitely a highlight of my trip! Went on a beautiful sunny day but I’m sure it’s amazing regardless of the weather.
Christine –
A wonderful experience. The views from the sea are stunning. Such a great way to experience their majestic/magical atmosphere. Another must do whilst visiting the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴.
Vidhi –
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!
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.
Knut Håkon Breivik –
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.
Gosia Walczak –
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.
Linda Kropp –
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!
Henning Elkjær Nielsen –
Meget flot og spændende tur. Eneste minus var antallet af passagerer, der gjorde det sværere at tage billeder.
Birgit Marion Sänger –
good guide, super boottrip and amazing views
Eline –
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.
Bodil –
Lovely tour. Great weather. Good boat. Nice people. Beautiful birds.
Peter Mertz –
It was a fantastic tour. The boat was really suitable for the purpose, and the captain was a great narrator.
We were very pleased.
Katie Ham –
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!
Victoria –
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!
