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.

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!

We had a total of 4 people on our tour which was a nice size. The guide set the pace. 2 people had mountain bikes and 2 had ebikes. It was a leisurely pace for the most part and the ebike made it easy.
Our weather was not the greatest though. Driving rain, windy/gusty etc. But we kept on and the second half was better conditions.
There is a fair amount of traffic and the shoulders were very narrow with gravel on them. But cars gave us room but a little unnerving.
Our guide was great. Due to the wind, those in the middle and back could not hear what he was saying.
Overall a great tour. Better weather would have been nice but dress for it and you should be good. Hat, gloves, rain pants, rain jacket are needed if the weather is windy or rainy.

The guide was great on our trip. She got us and our kayaks set up before taking off. We both had kayaked before, so not sure if more instruction is given to those that havent.
The tour started out pretty calm initially, but the wind picked up and it was difficult to paddle when the wind was blowing on the side if the kayak. The guide said she's never had the weather turn so quickly while on a tour. She had an alternative plan if we couldnt make it back to the starting point, but we made it ok.
A drysuit is provided. You can just wear normal clothes under it. Long sleeve baselayer or light fleece is sufficient.
We saw a waterfall base up close, went under some bridges. She wanted to cross over to the other side, but it was too windy to attempt that.
The map location sent after booking helped a lot too. The guide answered some of my more specific questions via email promptly.
Overall, a great tour!

This was a great tour to get close to the Draganir Sea Arch for good photos. Most other tours are a drive by (and through the arch) in a rocking boat, which is not great for photos. On this tour, they drive you through Dranganir, along the cliffs but then land on shore where you spend about an hour enjoying the closeup view and taking photos. There are not many people at that location at any one time, so you dont have to deal with people in your photos much.
A couple things to note:
* The boat lands on a rocky shore where you have to walk across larger rocks which could be wet. Hiking poles might be helpful to some with balance issues or just extra stability over rocky terrain.
* After the rocks, it is a steep, uphill climb on undefining paths and mostly grass which could be wet and slippery. Again, hiking poles might provide help for some getting and down the hill.
The boat ride is just 10 minutes but could get chilly of not dressed for it.
Overall, a great tour if you want to see Draganir up close and get good photos from land.

Incredible evening boat trip to Drangarnir Sea Arch. The guides were excellent and flexible with timings, and took us through the arch before landing ashore. We then had the evening to capture an amazing sunset with uninterrupted views of the arch and out to see. An unforgettable experience.
