Welcome to Faroe Islands

We loved this boat tour and our only regret is not also booking a tour at Vestmanna. We will be back!

One of the best excursions we've ever taken on a cruise and what a great value too! Johann picked us up promptly at 9 and spent the next 8.5 hours showing us as much as he could of his beautiful country. Although the tour was billed as 7 hours, we were in Port until 10 pm, and so he made sure we didn't miss a thing, even stopping at a pharmacy for one couple who needed some medication. The van was intimate and comfortable, the provided lunch was tasty and convenient, and the insights we gained were invaluable. The Faroe Islands are a magical place and we were so fortunate to have booked this excursion. I believe Johann runs the operation but all the guides are family members and he ensures everyone will enjoy their day!

We booked this 7-day self-drive package, and it turned out to be the best experience ever! We had wanted to visit the Faroe Islands for many years, and the travel schedule that Hogni provided for us was amazing!

We had a detailed day plan starting early in the morning and ending in the afternoon. We were able to visit seven islands, many villages and settlements, and we had the opportunity to hike to some breathtaking places! Our trip wasn't too tightly scheduled, and since we started our days earlier than suggested, we had the opportunity to add some extra hiking routes and visit a few more villages. It was also easy to adjust the itinerary!

The booking process was easy, and we received all the information about the hotel, the car, and the day-to-day plan by email a few days after booking. The website also has plenty of information about all the places we visited, which was really helpful when deciding whether we wanted to spend more time somewhere and adjust the day's plan accordingly.

This tour was amazing! I was astounded by all of the gorgeous locations in the Faroe Islands and this tour was far more comprehensive than anything the cruise lines offered. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and we were beyond impressed. I highly recommend this tour!

Great trip! I highly recommend it—the experience was amazing. Everything was exactly as described in the tour description. The captain shares interesting stories along the way, and there are short stops for photos and the chance to enjoy the breathtaking views.

The tour was very interesting. Catherine is an excellent tour guide and knows a lot about birds and the history of the island. She opened up her house for us, served us cake and cookies and a delicious fish soup.
Thanks a lot for this experience, Cathrine, we enjoyed it very much.

Michael est très accueillant et de bon conseil. Nous avions réservé 4h pour pouvoir pique-niquer sur place.
Expérience unique. Le sentiment d'être privilégié d'être sur ce site unique.
Nous avions apporté du matériel technique pour cette excursion.
Nous portions nos vareuses, bonnets, lunettes de soleil polarisantes et une paire de gants techniques. Sacs à dos étanches pour nos vestes, écharpes une fois débarqués et pique nique. Indispensable pour ne pas prendre froid.

Everything on this tour was a really good experience - from the simplicity of ferry ride over, the bus ride to Mikladalur and Kópankonan ❤️, to Trøllanes. The guide/farmer who still lives there gave a wonderful context for understanding the landscape and the cultural/identity of community life. And this was all before the walk to the lighthouse and views across the other islands. Brilliant day.

Highly recommend this extensive tour of the Faroe Islands. Jens Peter was affable and extremely knowledgeable and took us to see the best sites around the Islands, followed by a delicious lunch at the famous Fiskastykkið restaurant. A must for anyone who wants to see multiple facets of this fascinating and beautiful country in a short amount of time.

What a fantastic day I had with Jens Petur on the Majestic 7 hour Tour of the North Islands! I saw more in a short time frame than I thought possible. Jens brought us to five islands and showed us viewpoints to seven more. He took us to off the radar areas and we finished up the day with a delicious lunch at a terrific cafe. Jens Petur was friendly, knowledgeable and super kind. He knew loads about the history of the islands and was generous in spirit. I highly recommend this tour.

The distillery tour was interesting and informative.
Unfortunately, as whisky enthusiasts, we only learned during the tour that there wasn't actually any whisky available for tasting yet. In our opinion, this is something that should be made known at the time of booking - hence the deduction of one star.

The evening tour to the island of Kalsoy was fantastic. Jogvan - our guide and a local farmer - was really nice and laid-back. Even though he was having back trouble, he walked the entire way to the lighthouse and back with us!
The food - local specialties (fish soup, dried lamb, dried fish, Faroese beer) - was outstanding. It’s something you really ought to try.
All in all, the tour comes highly recommended!!!
And thanks for the pleasant conversations.

The tour guide rarely take care about us.He spent most time speaking to the members whose mother language is English.
He did not explain anything about the puffin to us.I even had to ask the meeting time of ferry by my self.

Strongly unrecomented

Jens Petur was an excellent guide. He was very organized, timely, caring, very knowledgeable and a good driver. Well paced. I would highly recommend this tour and guide!

This was a boat tour out of Vestmanna to see the sea caves and birds. We were picked up in Tórshavn since we didnt have a car.
We drove through some of the caves and along the rocky cliffs. If you sit up front, the views are better, but there is no seating, so you stand the whole time. Recommend wearing rain gear.
One rock formation looked like an elephants face and trunk. Saw lots of different burd species including puffins.
We were surprised we had lunch with local family in Vestmanna. They do this histing on Sunday tours apparently.
They prepared fish soup and bread, cheese, lamb on bread and warm rhubarb dessert. It was all very good. Very interesting conversation and it was great to learn about the local life.
We then stopped in the villages of Kvivik and Leynar (white sand beach).
At the end of the tour, our guide, Helle, gave us an art/music reference sheet that was interesting to read.
Overall, a really great day!
