Welcome to Faroe Islands

One of the best experiences of my life. This tour is more intimate than a larger tour would have been. Our guide, a generational Faroese with roots on Mykines, didn’t just lead us to the colony, but personalized the entire tour with storied histories about the island and its inhabitants—all with a calm and gentle energy. I learned so much about the island, the village, and the beautiful puffins and other seabird inhabitants of Mykines. On the boat ride to and from the island we literally went through the Drangarnir Sea Arch, saw some seals, and rode close enough to one of the waterfalls to feel the sea spray on our faces. Amazing!

*Bonus: If you go to the cafe, be sure to try the fish soup and one of the little cakes.

Magisk tur med fantastisk guide

We are from Hong Kong and we spent 4 full days in Faroe island and the day joining this tour is the best day! We had such a wonderful day with Elsa Maria. She is an incredibly passionate, warm, and attentive local guide who truly cares about every guest. It”s highly recommended!

Our guide, Johan from JH Tours, and also his family who assisted on some days were phenomenal. They were all friendly, kind, and terrific conversationalists. They answered all our questions about the Faroe Islands and gave us a lot of incredible information about the Faroese people, culture, music, history, current affairs, the fishing industry, and also life on the islands. They also gave us a lot of recommendations for foods to try, things to do, and places to go. Pick ups were always on time, and there was great communication. The tours were well planned by Johan - the locations selected and time allowed at each stop were spot on and we never felt rushed. He had cultivated a lot of close relationships with locals, who gave us food and access to experiences as a result. There was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere created by Johan, which made the group cohesive and harmonious. I would highly recommend JH Tours (operating through Guide to Faroe Islands) to anyone!

This is a must-do tour! I loved every minute and would not change a thing. I was so grateful to get such a comprehensive overview of the Faroe Islands. We saw several islands, countless incredible landscapes, and gained an understanding of what life is like. We visited a mixture of highly scenic and cultural locations. Each view was more phenomenal than the last. There was exceptional communication and organisation from Hogni, who arranged everything and also was flexible with certain arrangements to suit my itinerary. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Stunning views and a very fun hike! Interesting history associated with this walk, which made the experience all the more rich. Melissa was an exceptional guide. She was kind, passionate, and gave me lots of information about the hike and insider knowledge about the Faroe Islands. I had a fantastic day with Melissa. I was grateful for the delicious packed lunch included too. The communication and organisation from Guide to Faroe Islands and Melissa was terrific and made for a relaxed and fun experience all round!

Excellent experience. Despite the shorter duration, there are many scenic views including waterfalls, Drangarnir, and puffins, if you are there during the proper season. You can look in any direction during the boat ride and witness the natural beauty of the Faroe Islands.

This was one of our favorite experiences in the Faroe Islands. Jens and Rigmor are welcoming hosts and invite you into their home and treat you like long-time friends. We were able to taste a variety of traditional Faroese dishes and everything was delicious. Rigmor's homemade fish soup was an excellent entry into the cuisine and one of my favorites of the evening. Conversation during dinner included bits of Faroese tradition and history surrounding the food, but also branched in multiple other directions.

My advice: Book this experience now. Arrive hungry. Don't make any time sensitive plans after the meal as the conversation may linger long after dessert. You won't regret it.

Vi har været med på tur til mykines i dag og på trods af lidt søgang på vej ud, var det en fantastisk tur, hvor vi ovenikøbet på tilbageturen var heldige at komme ind i en bugt og ligge stille og se sæler samt igennem en stor flot grotte. Kan varmt anbefale denne sejltur

Jens was fantastic. He was very informative and answered all of our questions very well. He gave excellent background information and didn't rush us through anything. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

I was in awe from start to finish so much scenery so much depth and a great crew to facilitate my experience two thumbs up for this tour not to be missed if you do one thing in the Faroe Islands this boat excursion should be it

Thank you so much for showing me the beautiful islands on the See It All tour. I really enjoyed speaking with the guide, the scenery was beautiful I specially enjoyed seeing Múlafossur.
I appreciated trying some of the traditional food as well.

Amazing experience, definitely a must do when on the Faroe Islands.

The tour with our guide, Elsa, was absolutely wonderful and enjoyable. We had the opportunity to visit many important landmarks in the Faroe Islands and learn about the traditions of the local community, both in the past and how life has evolved over time. We also saw many breathtaking natural landscapes that felt almost unreal. A heartfelt thank-you to Elsa for leading such a memorable trip!

Thank you very much Ditte for such a wonderful day!! We appreciate that although you were ill, you made a big effort to do the tour and take us to many beautiful places!! She also explained many interesting things about Faroe Islands and answered all our questions (that they were a lot!!). Thank you so much for being so kind and professional!!
