Few places represent the Faroe Islands better than Drangarnir.

The famous sea arch has become one of the country’s most photographed landmarks.

But many visitors don’t realise that the surrounding coastline is also one of the best places to observe Atlantic Puffins.

Two Iconic Experiences in One Tour

A boat trip around Drangarnir combines several of the Faroe Islands’ highlights:

  • The famous sea arch
  • Tindhólmur
  • Puffin colonies
  • Waterfalls
  • Sea caves
  • Dramatic volcanic cliffs

It’s a unique combination that few destinations in Europe can offer.

Why Visit by Boat?

Although hiking to the viewpoint above Drangarnir is popular, the sea arch was created by the ocean—and it’s from the water that its true scale becomes apparent.

The boat also allows visitors to explore areas that cannot be reached on foot.

Perfect for Families

One reason families choose Seatravel is comfort.

Our sightseeing boats are designed for relaxed experiences rather than high-speed rides.

Children can safely enjoy wildlife while parents take in the spectacular scenery.

Guests frequently comment on how enjoyable the slower pace makes the journey.

Responsible Wildlife Experiences

Wildlife should be experienced responsibly.

Some fast boat operations pass close to bird colonies or travel at speeds that can disturb nesting seabirds.

At Seatravel, we believe unforgettable experiences should also protect the environment.

Our captains navigate respectfully around sensitive wildlife areas, following local guidelines and operating with care for both birds and marine life.

This approach helps preserve these remarkable habitats for future generations.
