Mykines, the westernmost gem of the Faroe Islands, is basically puffin paradise. 🐧 After a scenic ferry ride, you land in the tiny, peaceful village, then a moderately challenging hike winds along cliffs teeming with thousands of nesting seabirds. The main trail is about 7–8km and takes 2.5–3 hours, with jaw-dropping views of the North Atlantic and the iconic lighthouse on Mykineshólmur.

Definitely plan to book a day tour here, and the cost of a day tour starts at $105 usd.

Heads up, the weather in the Faroe Islands is super unpredictable, so there’s always a chance it could get cancelled (ours did!).
