The Faroe Islands in summer
June through August: the islands open up.
Summer in the Faroes means temperatures of 10–14°C, occasional sun, and daylight that barely ends. The famous puffin colonies on Mykines are open to guided visits from 1 May to 31 August, when the Sørvágur ferry sails daily; bookings for the season open in early February. All ferries run on full schedules.
The cost: weather is least dramatic in summer. If you came for storms and brooding fog, late September delivers more.
Ferry runs daily — ridge walk is at its safest.
Sunset stretches to 23:00 in late June.
Lagoon at its most photogenic in low-angle summer light.

The outermost island — summer is when the boat actually runs to plan.
