Our Mykines tour offers an unforgettable journey to the Faroe Islands’ most sought-after destination. Known for its dramatic cliffs and abundant seabird colonies, particularly puffins, Mykines provides an unparalleled wildlife experience. Unlike large tours, our small-group format ensures a more personal and immersive adventure.
As a designated Ramsar site, Mykines hosts one of the world's largest puffin colonies. Our guided hike takes you through this vibrant bird sanctuary, offering breathtaking ocean views. Along the way, you'll learn about the island’s rich history, its once-thriving village, and the unique way of life of its few remaining residents.
Departing from Tórshavn we embark on a ferry journey past iconic sea stacks and uninhabited islets before reaching Mykines. With expert guidance, you'll explore the island’s scenic trails, witness thousands of puffins up close, and enjoy a relaxed visit to the charming village before returning.

1Mykines
Ride with the ferry "Jósup" to the puffin Island, Mykines. Designated as a Ramsar site for its avian diversity, Mykines hosts an impressive array of birdlife. The island is most renowned for its puffin colony, arguably the largest in the Faroe Islands and possibly the biggest in the world. Our journey takes us directly through this thriving bird sanctuary. The village that once inhabited almost 200 people is now reduced to around a dozen living year-around inhabitants. Nevertheless, the charm of the village remains intact, with its impeccably kept homes, traditional turf roofs, and a delightful palette of colours.
