Værøy

From Reine there are boat trips to the little island of Vðrøy to the southwest. At the south end of this island is the Mostadfjell, rising steeply above the abandoned village of Mostad. These hills are a paradise for birds, where more than a million birds - mainly puffins, but also guillemots, cormorants and white-tailed eagles - breed between May and August. The nesting sites can be reached by hiring a boat from the village of Vðrøy (20 minutes).

On Vðrøy are the last specimens of a curious breed of six-toed dogs, known as puffin hounds, which are used in catching puffins.
