Fantastic experience and beautiful scenery. Well worth the cost. Went around and through the arch before docking and walking up the cliff for an amazing view of it. Had ample time to enjoy the view before boarding again. We got a close up view of puffins on the nearby island before returning. Highly recommend for a unique experience. Compliments to the young man working at the cliff hike. He was very polite and friendly.

Amazing trip! The guides were very punctual and full of knowledge. Not a single boring moment. We got to see most of what the Faroe Islands have to offer for a very reasonable price. We had a great time with Elsa Maria and her brother.

Fantastic food tour that weaves together some great food with interesting history and getting to know wonderful Tórshavn. Heðin is the perfect guide - friendly, knowledgeable and it was a privilege to spend three hours on his company.

We had a wonderful, personalized tour with Johan. He took great care to take us to all the amazing spots the Faroe Islands has to offer. He provided great island history facts to me and my husband. He even squeezed in a couple extra stops along the way. He tried to avoid the large crowds from the big tour buses by taking us on the narrow roads to special lookout places. We had a spectacular day!

Our family of four had an amazing evening with Selma and Tórður. They invited us into their beautiful home and chatted about life in the Faroe Islands providing warm “heimablídni” home hospitality. The meal was delicious traditional Faroe food, breaded cod, potatoes salad and chocolate desert…warm and wholesome food. The evening rounded our trip to the Faroe Islands. Thank you Selma and Tórður!

The boat tour itself was okay overall. It started well, lasted long enough, and the scenery during the tour was enjoyable. However, the instructions on the website really need to be updated and made much more specific.
The biggest issue was with the transportation information. The bus does not stop directly in front of the tourist information center as described online. Instead, it stops further up the road, and you then have to walk down and figure out where to go yourself. This was confusing, especially for visitors unfamiliar with the area.
After the tour finished, the return bus was waiting on the opposite side of the building, completely out of sight from where the boat stops. Because of this lack of clear instructions, I missed my public bus connection and had to wait nearly three hours for the next one.
Overall, the tour itself was decent, but the website instructions seriously need improvement to avoid unnecessary stress and confusion for visitors.

This tour was absolutely incredible and without a doubt one of the highlights of my trip. The experience lasted more than eight hours, yet every single moment was filled with breathtaking scenery, interesting stops, and unforgettable experiences. We were able to see so much of what the islands have to offer, and it truly felt like a complete and well-organized adventure from beginning to end.
Our guide was outstanding — extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help. She shared so much interesting information about the islands, the culture, and the history, which made the experience even more special. She also kindly helped take photos for me, which I really appreciated and which made the trip even more enjoyable.
Another thing I loved was the group size. We were only four people, which was honestly perfect — not too crowded and not too small. It created a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere while still feeling social and fun.
Be prepared because this tour is absolutely packed with activities, spectacular views, and endless photo opportunities. Around every corner there was something beautiful to see. The landscapes were stunning and constantly changing, making the entire day exciting from start to finish.
I enjoyed this tour tremendously and would recommend it to absolutely anyone visiting the islands. If you want to experience as much as possible in one day while having an amazing guide and a fantastic atmosphere, this is the perfect tour.

Wonderful fishing trip. First-class boat and skipper. Had lots of fun catching nice fish (cod, haddock, pollock and ling) and chatting with the captain who had wide knowledge on the fish, fishing and the Faroe Islands in general. A great way to spend half a day fishing, watching birds and enjoying the amazing scenery. Definitely recommend.

What an amazing experience and incredible food and people. Selma and Tordur were absolutely lovely and we learned so much about everyday life here. It was such an insightful and rare experience to be able to go into someone’s home and have dinner with them and other travelers from all over and learn the local culture. Don’t miss this experience or food!

Well, we paid for a the Mykines boat tour, but due to high surf, the captain decided it wasn’t safe to go there. Hey, I get it; safety first. Instead we tooled around the bay for a little over an hour as he took us to Mulafossa falls and Draginar, but the weather did not cooperate with us and fogged in most of the impressive sights. Can’t control the weather! We only saw a couple puffins in the water from a distance. To me, it wasn’t worth the money we paid to take myself and two daughters on this boat ride. My daughters had fun and that’s all that counts, right? You win some, you lose some.

We had a wonderful food tour with the farmer. It was such a special experience. The farmer told us about raising sheep in the Faroe Islands, including the challenges and rewards. He prepared various meats for us to try on homemade bread.

David was an excellent tour guide who took his time to explain the culture and offer interesting insights into life on the farm. After meeting the sheep, we went to the farmer’s beautiful home to enjoy bowls of soup and homemade bread served by his wife. It was such a treat to be welcomed into their family home. We highly recommend this tour.
