Breathtaking nature - We had an amazing experience on this boat tour. The nature was simply breathtaking, capturing our attention from start to finish. What particularly stood out was the captain; not only was he friendly and accommodating, but he was also incredibly knowledgeable. He shared many interesting facts and stories about the area, enriching the entire experience. Absolutely worth it and highly recommended to anyone considering a boat tour in the area!

A Wonderful Experience! - We had a wonderful experience! The Faroe Islands are so beautiful and we felt very fortunate to be able to go see more of it with a guide. We saw puffins, seals, & was lucky enough to see a couple whales! We’ll always have great memories from those 2 hours on the boat, highly recommend. My only advice with nature tours like this is to keep in mind, nature is nature - you never know what exactly you’ll get so go out to sea with an open mind!

A nice boat ride - Exciting boat ride; the impeccable captain skilfully led us to nolsoy cutting through the thick fog of torshavn harbour. Once we arrived on the island we found the sun and admired splendid nature: puffins in the water, in the sky and on the rocks, waterfalls, balancing sheep, birds of all types, caves with geyser-effect water features, a lighthouse with an ancient history, a curious seal that looked at us perplexed. And much more. A beautiful afternoon: thank you!

A great way to get up close to Nólsoy and see Puffins! - If you go to the Faroe Islands to see puffins, this is an excellent tour for you. The captain was very informative, friendly and engaging. The boat was fairly small, so it provided a very intimate experience to get to know the captain, learn about the Islands, and see parts of the island of Nólsoy that might be in accessible by larger boats. Additionally, the captain provided a full safety briefing prior to departure, and we were provided arctic flotation suits that gave me peace of mind. The suits themselves kept us very warm, when on the open deck, taking pictures of the puffins, the sheep, and other bird life that was all around the island. Towards the end of the tour, we stopped at the fishing village on Nólsoy to have a walk, see the housing, a very cool landmark which memorialized a sailor who rowed a boat from The Faroe Islands to Denmark in 41 days. It was amazing to see the actual boat he used to make this amazing journey. We also walked to a high point on the island to see the east side of the island, which on this particular day, experienced rougher sea conditions than the ease side we sailed, so I was pleased that we sailed the west side of the island. Alden Hall, I would say it was a great multi hour tour, we learned a lot and got to see many, many, puffins. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone!

Nice trip - Good service and info from the captain. Great trip with wind and a little water in the hair :-) However, we did not see any sea parrots as the weather was bad. But then the 3 whales.
