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.

Our Mykines Private Hike and Tour Adventure was fantastic. A great tour starts with a great guide and our guide, Hans was wonderful. Patient & kind, Hans was also very knowledgeable and eager to share all things Faroe Islands. As a native Faroese, Hans embodied the spirit of the islands. Pickup from Hotel Hafnia was prompt at 12:15 (the morning ferry was fully booked). We were able to book the 1:30 ferry. The drive to the Vágar Island ferry terminal provided views of the stunning Faroe countryside. We passed by deep fiords and high cliffs with waterfalls cascading down to form streams which lead to the fiords. Ferry ride to Mykines was 45 minutes and pretty smooth. I’m prone to seasickness but did not suffer on either trip. Along the way we saw towering sea stacks, dramatic rock formations & more waterfalls. From the Mykines ferry terminal we climbed stairs and walked through the old village. There is a free public toilet in the village center. We began the ascent to the puffin colony following the milder incline along a ridge. On the way we saw more spectacular views of Mykines and the surrounding coast. The hills have many grazing Faroese sheep which climb to great heights. Shepherds have dangerous work gathering them. When we reached the puffin colony it was well worth the hike. Hundreds of nesting puffins, many were only a few feet away. We were advised to stay 6 ft away from the puffins and not to enter their burrow nest areas. It was a great experience standing in such close proximity to the little guys. My wife took many photos and she was extremely happy. We walked a short distance further to a seaman’s memorial plaque. From there we had the option to hike further up to the viewpoint and chance to see even more puffins. My son with autism had anxieties about further climbing so we chose instead to walk down the return route to the village. This route was more steep than the ascent but we managed. We enjoyed Katrin’s fish soup in the cafe and returned to the ferry terminal. The 6:15 ferry (last of the day) returned us to Vagar just after 7 and Hans returned us to the Hafnia around 8 pm. This tour gave our family a lifetime of great memories. I highly recommend it. Footnote: Hans returned to our hotel to to give our son a Faroese mountain rock from his personal collection. What a kind gesture. Thank you, Hans!
