Welcome to Faroe Islands

A must do whilst in the Faroe Islands, especially with the really knowledgeable guide.

Poite driver, comfortable car, excellent service!

We went out for an evening fishing trip with Niklas and WOW, we are speechless. We caught a bucket full of cod and whiting, and Niklas was so patient with the weather, helping us learn throughout the trip and telling us about the island. He made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and unforgettable. The highlight was getting to drive the boat at the end! Could not recommend this trip more highly. Thank you Niklas for such an amazing evening!

Nice tour and good fishing instructions from the captain. I guess the tour was fully booked - we were 12 persons onboard. Both my wife and I caught fish, cod, flounder and haddock. Our hotel in Torshavn (Hilton) had a place for the filets in one of their freezers. We packed the fish well on our departure day in our check in luggage in order to keep it frozen. The fish was still frozen when we came home.
Area for improvement: Safety instructions before leaving harbour. Such were lacking on our tour.

Knowledgeable guide Jon, giving good insight to why the British placed forces at the Fareos Islands and how the Islands were defended, including a good understanding of the strategic importances for the convoys, especially those going to Murmansk. The tour also included stories from the time on how this affected the civil population. If you are a little interested in WW2, the tour will most probably provide new insight to the WW2 story. Recommended.

A day that captures all the drama of the landscape, the character of traditional villages and life with the sheep, especially during lambing season - and worth any weather challenges, but make sure you come prepared. .

We highly recommend booking this tour through Hogni at Guide to Faroe Islands. We initially expressed interest in 2025, but deferred our trip until May 2026. Hogni answered all our questions beforehand. The liberal cancellation policy gave us reassurance to book early, and thankfully we did not need it.
We were very happy we visited in May, before the busier summer tourist season. The weather was comfortable, and we encoutered less rain than expected. We are glad we brought good hiking shoes.
Our guide, Johan, was terrific. He drove us to many places inaccessible to larger tour groups, and allowed us senior travelers to explore at our own pace. He patiently responded to all of our questions about the islands' history and culture. The lunches and beverages provided each day on the road were beyond our expectations. By the end of our visit, we felt like a member of his family. Johan is the best ambassador the Faroe Islands could ever ask for.
Our hotel, the Hafnia, was comfortable. One recommendation is to make dinner reservations well in advance. We found that tables at the best restaurants were fully booked several days out.
The 8 Day Tour Package is very comprehensive, but the warmth of our experience has left us with a desire to return at some point in the future.

Nice tour, however the tour was postponed by 5 hours, 30 minutes prior to departure. Respect for nature you need to have and if the weather is unsafe, it is very OK to move. However this should have been communicated earlier than 30 minutes prior to departure.
Luckily, we had other plans in the area, and we just swapped around on the planned sequence order.
When the tour took place it was cut short and we were never close to Gasadalur nor the Mularfossur. At the time I thought I may remembered wrongly how the tour should be. Nothing was said by the crew. This is a disappointment as the Mularfossur from seaside was one looked forward to.
We neither did go through the arch, but we had a very nice view. The dropping of the sail through was expected as I have understood that the chance of going through the arch is about 50%, maybe less.

Great tour! Knowledgeable about the local area and took us to get fantastic food. Visited restaurants I had no idea about and ones I wanted to visit previously but didn't have time, so definitely worth it!

Second time I have done this tour and it is still very good! Would recommend to anyone

Fantastic guide and a fantastic trip!

I visited the Faroes for the first time in May 2026 and hired Ditte as my guide for 5 days. I can wholeheartedly recommend Ditte as a knowledgeable and experienced guide who will vastly improve the quality of your visit. She knows all the islands well (she’s a native) and has a lot of experience as a guide. Ditte provides transportation with her own car, so it saves you the trouble of renting a vehicle. She’s knowledgeable about scenic routes and viewpoints for some stunning photographs, and is always willing to stop for a photo opportunity. Your time visiting any new place is valuable and using an experienced guide like Ditte will help you get the most out of it.

Her knowledge of the weather patterns in the islands paid off handsomely. There’s rarely going to be a time when you’re guaranteed any consistent weather that’s going to last longer than a couple of hours. We adjusted our itinerary day by day based on weather conditions and got the maximum out of each day, with glorious vistas and landscapes, sometimes just before a front bearing rain or snow passed through. We made some location decisions on the fly based on her sense about changes in the weather.

Ditte was excellent in providing a history of the islands and the people, because it’s important to remember that the Faroes are more than just amazing scenery. She knows quite a few people around the islands and can explain the subtle differences between the dialects and customs. By the end of my trip, I learned a lot about the Faroese people and came away with a tremendous amount of respect for them. You can tell how you feel about a place if you want to return, and I definitely feel that way about the Faroes.

I had a very enjoyable day, our guide Anita was lovely, chatting all day. It was a very windy day and Anita gave us the confidence to hike to the view points to be able to take the important photos! Lunch was very tasty

I booked and paid for an airport transfer. I was picked up by a tour group at the end of their tour and taken with them to their last tour site before being taken to town and my hotel. My fee was not adjusted to the price for group transport.

Huge thanks to Arousiak for the most incredible day! She took us to some breathtaking spots on the southern island that felt like they were straight out of a movie. Arousiak really made our day in the south. What really touched us was when my shoes broke during the hike—she didn’t hesitate for a second and took us back to her father-in-law’s house just to help me fix them. It was such a kind, selfless gesture that completely saved my trip. On top of that, her homemade salmon sandwich was very yummy. If you want a local experience that feels real and warm, you have to find her!
