Faroe Islands - Puffin Islands

Faroe Islands

This was the third and last step of our trip to some of the Scandinavian countries (including Norway, Iceland and Faroe Islands).

We took a flight from Norway to its only airport: Vagar Airport. It’s 56 kms from the capital Tórshavn. We were about to take a ferry instead, but the weather was not so nice and we decided to have a pleasant journey travelling by plane 😊

In spite of its small size, the Faroe Islands offers many opportunities for excursions and walks along the small villages connections or the incredible mountains with fantastic views to the ocean.

The principal reason to go to Faroes Island was to go birding. Puffins, Kittiwakes, Guillemots, Gannets and Storm Petrels are just a few species that come to the Faroes to breed each year (around 305 bird species have been recorded in 2014).

We booked a boat tour with Vestmanna bird cliffs on the island of Streymoy to discover the islands’ bird life. It cost about 30€, for a 2 hours tour. It was a fantastic experience!!!!
