Atlantic Puffin & Seabird Safari by Rigid Inflatable Boat

Skim the sea cliffs of Suðuroy at water level on a rigid inflatable, scanning for Atlantic puffins, razorbills, and white-tailed eagles. One of the most exhilarating wildlife encounters in the entire North Atlantic.

What to expect

Boarding in Vágur harbour, you head south along the coast aboard a powerful, wet-weather-suited RIB with experienced Faroese skippers who know every nesting ledge. The boat noses into sea caves and beneath overhanging basalt columns draped in puffin colonies. The skipper cuts the engine so you drift silently as birds land within metres. On the return leg, the bow lifts and you race back across open sea with the cliffs glowing behind you.
