Welcome to Faroe Islands

I definitely recommend this tour! The captain was very knowledgeable and helpful. Waterproof suits and boots were available, including smaller boot sizes than those listed, which was a nice bonus. He took us to a great fishing spot, and after a little instruction, I caught two cod in less than five minutes. We could have caught more, but that was more than enough for us since we were traveling. There were about 10 guests total, with two tables with benches, so the boat did not feel crowded. On the way back, he also showed us how to fillet the fish, and we had plenty of time to do it before returning. He even added a bit of sightseeing to the tour, which was a great extra touch.

An extraordinary experience. Regin is a generous and friendly host with a deep knowledge of the island. He met us after a stunning boat trip and we enjoyed a delicious meal before being guided slowly along the cliffs on a perfect summer’s evening to see thousands of puffins and other seabirds with incredible views of the island and a sunset over the ocean. The accommodation is lovely too and the breakfast the next morning was delicious. This overnight trip to Mikines was an absolute highlight of our holiday and an experience we will never forget. A huge thank you to Regin for making this so special for us.

I highly recommend this tour! It was the perfect way to see Drangarnir up close. There were only six guests on the tour, which made it easy to enjoy the sights and take the photos we were hoping for. Our guide was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable, and he stopped at all the best spots for photos. The boat was comfortable, and the whole experience was wonderful.

Excellent tour and lovely guide - 100% recommend! Beautiful country and people

God oplevelse. Fik god instruktion så selv om vejrforholdene drillede, fik vi nogle gode ture. Vi kunne godt være blevet ved nogle timer mere. Tak til de gode, smilende og dygtige instruktører.

My husband I are slow travellers, we use public transport and taxis to move from A to B. To get an overview of the highlights of the Faroer, we booked this trip, a little bit reluctantly.

We had a wonderful day. Our trip leader Elsa Maria was a teacher before she became a guide. This was of great advantage. Instead of ackwardly sitting in a small bus with 10 strangers, we became a group and we felt comfortable and chatted with each other as if we were a school class.

But the trip was not meant for socialising, but to see and learn something of the Faroer. This we did. Elsa Maria is a very skilled driver, she told us a lot about the Faroer and how it has changed over the last 50 years. She also told us about the traditions that are cherished by the Faroers.

For lunch she brought us to a lovely restaurant (price notbincluded in the trip), we could order from the menu about 1/2 hour before we got to the restaurant, therefore we didn't have to waste time waiting for the food.

We could just enjoy, Elsa Maria was taking care of the planning, the driving and pur safety.

We had a lovely day and would recommend this trip Elsa Maria and her brother to everyone.

Classic Faroe Islands Day Tour

This private tour is top notch! Annika is a Faroese native who is well traveled and well versed in all things Faroese. She has deep roots in the Islands and was a font of information about the history, culture and life on the Islands. She is a delight!

We toured mostly as described in the itinerary and were able to adjust the day according to our interests, including making frequent stops for sights as we desired. We saw waterfalls, undersea tunnels, mountains, fjords, beaches, vistas, cliffs, drying whale meat, traditional houses, churches and ruins and were regaled with stories about family roots, growing up on the Islands and raising children there.

If you want to spend a day exploring with a knowledgeable and personable professional who can show you some of the wonders of the Faroe Islands and highlights of island life, this is the tour to choose.

Cheers to Annika, and our best wishes for the future. Bette and Hank

Fantastisk dejlig tur til Mykines i solskin. Skøn tur ridende over bølgerne ud til denne smukke ø hvor vi blev guidet af en super professionel ung mand med en viden og passion for denne ø og med høj grad af service. Vi fik set en masse smukke lunter og en udsigt som er betagende. Vi vil varmt anbefale det.
Kærligst Nanna og Michael

Kæmpe anbefaling herfra - Michael var på toppen, og gav en super briefing inden vi hoppede ombord og sejlede afsted. Kajakkerne er dejlig nemme, søen er smuk og udsigten/hiken ved vandfaldet var lige den sidste krymmel på et par dejlige timer på vandet! Vi havde tilkøbt en ekstra time, så vi kunne nyde frokosten på land og ikke stresse over noget - det kan klart anbefales.

Tak!

Leaving the Faroe Islands at the end of the tour and arriving back in mainland Europe, made me realise just how quiet and peaceful a destination it is. And so green!! It is no longer an undiscovered destination, not crowded, but pretty busy in places (all relatively speaking of course).
On the whole I was really satisfied with the tour, the 8 day one. A group of 4 people for the tours, so the minibus was never full or uncomfortable.
Arrival and pick up at the airport went smoothly, a really chatty and informative taxi driver, plus one other passenger.
Hilton hotel was great, a room with a view! Enjoyed the breakfast buffet every day, friendly and efficient staff.
I enjoyed the tours with Johan, and on some days his father, and it was interesting to learn about the Islands themselves, a place that a lot of people are unfamiliar with. The tours covered just about everywhere worth seeing; the weather plays a massive part, not so much the rain, there wasn’t that much, but the fog and mist obscuring the views.
I think this is a destination that is going to grow in popularity, and there will be changes because of this, some positive, some not so. It is an expensive option, but worth it!

Amazing tour! You are able to see everything in one day and don’t feel rushed. Jens and his family have been in the Faroe Islands for centuries so he knew everything about the islands and was very informative. Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in visiting the Faroe Islands.

It was a beautifull and very good boattour. On the way back we were sailing along the north shore of Mykines with on the ridges many gannet nests. And along several other points of interest. Everything well explained.

Most amazing thing I’ve ever done. The view at the end of the lake is 10/10. Booked without a guide but got key advice from a very kind gentleman at the pick up spot! Service also totally perfect.

It was such a great itinerary. We were able to be flexible with what was recommended based on the changing weather, which allowed us to see everything we wanted to.
The Hilton Hotel was perfect, the car hire was great (had a Nissan Duke).
Doing the self guided tour also meant we could pull over when we saw something else that was of interest to us, and still had time to explore some extra villages.
We even saw puffins on our boat tour, even though it wasn't part of the plan.
