What To Expect
Drangarnir
The Drangarnir sea stacks, one of the captivating stops on the boat tour, offer an awe-inspiring spectacle. These monumental rock formations, dramatically emerging from the sea, exhibit nature's untamed artistry. They stand as timeless sentinels, bearing witness to the relentless waves of the North Atlantic. The archway between the stacks creates a unique frame for the nearby island of Vágar, crafting a picturesque view that attracts photographers worldwide. Its breathtaking beauty and mythical aura, imbued with Faroese folklore, make Drangarnir an unforgettable part of your journey.
Tindhólmur, a breathtaking stop on the tour, is an uninhabited islet that captures the untamed spirit of the Faroe Islands. It is home to thousands of Puffins, adding an extra layer of enchantment to every tour. The islet's distinct five peaks - Ytsti, Arni, Lítli, Breiði, Bogdi, named after the cardinal directions and time, rise dramatically from the sea, each with a unique silhouette. From a distance, the islet resembles a sleeping dragon, providing a touch of mystique. The bold contrast of steep cliffs against the ever-changing Atlantic sea and sky creates a tranquil and exhilarating scene. With its untouched beauty and teeming puffin population, Tindhólmur offers an unforgettable visual feast on this journey.

5.00Fantastic views, the guide was great. I do recommend bringing binoculars if you’re wanting to see the birds.
Great tour with highlights & nice guides

4.00It was a beautiful tour where the described highlights were visited. The guides were very friendly and made an effort to make our trip enjoyable. They explained a lot about the landscape, nature, sights, and animals. Since the group was very small (6 people), it was very pleasant on the boat. However, the trip is advertised for up to 18 people. I cannot imagine that on this small boat. I gave one star less because the description mentioned snacks and a restroom on board. Since I didn't need to use the restroom, it didn't matter to me. In my opinion, the snacks are not necessary due to the limited 1.5 hours. However, including something in the description that is not fulfilled is not appropriate. Additionally, one could have stayed a bit longer to take good snapshots. With the swaying boat, that is already difficult. Otherwise, the tour is really recommended!
We saw puffins!!

5.00Great boat trip to see more amazing scenery and importantly, puffins!! Lots of puffins. Our captain was great, giving us commentary as we went. We're grateful to the company-we mucked up the time of the tour by half an hour and missed the one we were booked on. They offered us the next one without cost or penalty and without us even asking for that. That's fabulous customer service!
Nice boat ride

3.00The boat ride itself was ok, the guide was nice, but in my opinion it is pricy and not worth it - not their fault we did not see any puffins becos it was probably still too early to spot them, and it is nature no one can control it, but i managed to see more puffins and the arch during an ordinary ferry ride to Mykines, which costed only £28.
Memorable!

5.00At the end of August we were able to experience a beautiful sunset in happy weather conditions as part of the Puffin Safari. From the sea there is a different perspective. We could only see a puffin from a distance, as at the end of the season the birdlife has changed. Our very friendly and excellent captain even drove into a cave and answered all our questions patiently. This tour was one of the most beautiful events in the Faroe Islands during our holiday. We were even lucky enough to observe pilot whales. This tour is highly recommended!
Excellent boat tour to see Puffins

5.00Truly enjoyed the Puffin Safari. Greatly appreciated the small size group tour that Seatravel offers. There was space to move around and just enjoy the scenery and birds. Our Captain was a wealth of knowledge and despite fog starting to roll in, we saw a lot of puffins. Highly recommend the Puffin Safari Boat Tour.
A must.

5.00Great boat tour. Tour operators were very pleasant and fun. Loved the small group (7 I think) we were able to get up close but not to disturb the environment and habitat. Highly reccomend.
