An Excellent Puffin Boat Trip - Although the day was a bit windy, the boat trip around Nólsoy was an absolute highlight of our time in the Faroe Islands. The captain was incredibly friendly, warm, and deeply knowledgeable about the local birdlife. He constantly pointed out puffins—both flying and nesting—including a magical moment where we spotted puffins inside a sea cave. We saw an abundance of bird species throughout the trip, and even caught sight of a rainbow over the ocean. Nólsoy itself is a charming and peaceful island, well worth exploring. Highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in birdwatching, coastal scenery, or just a genuinely memorable experience at sea!

Easiest way to see nesting sea birds! - We had amazing weather and saw lots of puffins as well as many other varieties of seabirds. We were also fortunate enough to enter one of the sea caves (would not have been possible if not for the calm seas), and we got to experience breathtaking views of the entire coastline of Nólsoy.

Highest Recommendation - We received an outstanding tour from Flosi. The boat was comfortable and our host helped us locate seals, puffins, and other wildlife as we made our way around Nolsoy. Flosi gave us suits (to put over clothing) to stay warm, answered all of questions, and offered lots of individual attention. A true highlight of our trip!

Yes! - Highly recommend! Flosi provided flotation suits that kept us warm while we got to experience the coastline of Nolsoy and the huge number of puffins, terns, gulls, and more nesting and flying to and from the cliffs. Coming to the Faroes it felt important to spend some time on the water.
