As spring transitions into summer, the Faroe Islands become a bustling haven for millions of migratory birds. The islands provide crucial nesting grounds for various species before they embark on their long journeys across the vast oceans. This period offers a unique opportunity to photograph these feathered visitors, from the endearing Atlantic puffins with their vibrant beaks to the elegant Northern Fulmars gliding effortlessly in the air. You may even have the chance to capture the Eurasian Oystercatcher, the national bird of the Faroe Islands, with its distinctive plumage.

While wildlife photography takes center stage on this tour, the enchanting landscapes of the Faroe Islands are not to be missed. As you traverse the islands, utilizing ferries and underwater tunnels to access different locations, you’ll be greeted by a myriad of natural wonders.
