Mykines - The Puffin Island
From Tórshavn, we drive to Sørvágur, where we take the ferry to Mykines, the westernmost island in the Faroe Islands.
Upon arrival, we stop at the village café before beginning our hike through Mykines' spectacular scenery. The trail passes the memorial dedicated to those lost at sea and continues to the largest puffin colony in the Faroe Islands, where there are excellent opportunities to see puffins up close. Combined with a scenic boat journey along the island's dramatic cliffs, this tour offers some of the most memorable nature experiences in the Faroes.
