Arrival in Faroe Islands
Welcome to the Faroe Islands! When you arrive at Vagar airport, you will immediately feel the refreshing Faroe Islands winter on your face. Once you reach the arrival hall, a cab driver will welcome you and drive you to the main hub in the Faroe Islands, the capital Tórshavn.
You will drive through beautiful landscapes and pass quaint villages. On your way to Tórshavn, you will have a great view over Lake Leitisvatn with small turf-roofed houses along the river bank. There will also be waterfalls just beside the road.
You can spend your first hours in the Faroe Islands getting to know the capital, walk to the old part of town, go out dining, and go in to one of the coffee shops.
If your flight arrives early then you can saddle up for a horseback riding tour in the mountains surrounding Tórshavn. You can add an amazing horse riding trip in the booking process.
You will spend your nights in Tórshavn.
Day 2
Saksun & Gjógv
A tour guide will pick you up at 09:00 for your first full-day in the Faroe Islands. You will have the unique opportunity to see the winter landscape in Saksun and beyond. The scenery is a true wonder.
The highlight in this secluded village is the white painted church with grass-roof that sites above a stunning tidal lagoon. There are several waterfalls finding their ways from the high mountains and down the hillsides. There are also a cluster of lovely turf-roofed houses in the village. You will have a spectacular view from the old settlement in Saksun.
When leaving Saksun, you will drive through the enchanting valley and stop by the fantastic Fossá Waterfall. You will have the opportunity to get some really good photos of this stunning attraction. You can also go behind the waterfall, which is truly a magical feeling. You could stay here forever just soaking in this amazing experience. However, you will now head to your next great attraction.
Just a short drive from Fossá Waterfall, you will reach the otherworldly village Gjógv known for its remoteness and the iconic gorge. The feeling of standing in an isolated village overlooking the blue Atlantic Ocean in all its glory is simply incredible. On your way back to Tórshavn, you will stop by a spot where you will have a great view to the sea stacks Risin og Kellingin or the Giant and his Wife. You will be back at your hotel at 15:00.
You will spend your night in Tórshavn.

Today's trip will surely be one of the highlights of your Faroe Islands adventure. Your third in the Faroe Islands will bring you to all the great locations on the island Vagar.
You will be picked up at your hotel in Tórshavn at 09:00 and then head to Vagar island. When you reach Vagar, you will start out by hiking along the beautiful Lake Leitisvatn. Your goal is to reach the impressive Slave's Cliff and stunning Bøsdalafossur waterfall. The hike is easy as there is just little elevation.
From the Slave's Cliff you will see the Lake Leitisvatn above the ocean. The lake appears to be almost level with the ocean. The view is just crazy so sit down for a moment and contemplate the scenery. This is truly a magical moment on your trip.
Next, breath the fresh air when standing in front of Bøsdalafossur waterfall where the water crashes into the Atlantic Ocean. You will also have the best view of the sea stack Geituskorardrangur just beside Bøsdalafossur. This huge sea stack enhance the beauty of this place.

We enjoyed our visit very very much. John was a wonderful guide, full of information and recommendations. We were lucky to have good weather every day. The hotel was great, and though it was not located closer into town, it was an easy walk.

I booked a tour in October with my partner, and we could not have had a better experience. Everyone involved was wonderful. Hogni was our contact, and he went above and beyond several times to streamline our stay. He was organized, prompt in responding, and a joy to work with.
The weather was more forgiving than we expected in October. It was cold but rarely rained. We enjoyed clear skies and rainbows. Even the rain was nice. Bring hiking boots and all your warm and water-resistant clothing. You’ll enjoy the day trips more if you’re prepared for changes in weather.
As for the tour guides, Johan, Annika, and her father, I cannot overstate what lovely and warm people they are. Johan is unbelievably knowledgeable and was always willing to answer questions about locations we visited and the history and culture of the Faroes. He speaks multiple languages, and his English is flawless. The tours were as promised: picked up promptly at 9:00. Lunch was included (it was delicious and filling). We visited stunning locations and always felt secure in Johan’s familiarity with each area and advice on how to respect the tiny villages through which we passed. He and his partner created a safe and friendly atmosphere. They are approachable, outgoing, and overall, what we consider “salt of the earth” people. We stayed three additional days and moved from our hotel in Torshavn to an air BnB in Klaksvik (a beautiful and walkable town. Highly recommend it if you extend your stay). Locating the bus to take us there was simple, and we were aided by Johan’s advice and the friendly staff at our hotel.
I can’t convey in words how beautiful this country is, nor can I recommend Guide to Faroe Islands more. I am a suspicious person when it comes to booking online, particularly as this is a foreign country, but am delighted to say that the Faroese people live up to their reputation. They are honest, communicative, and personable. This trip exceeded our expectations in every way. 10/10. Worth every penny.

The weather in Faroes was varied as was the landscapes and the scenes. The guide did a great job. He was pleasant and informative, and he looked after me well.
Trip was a dream come true in terms of pictures. The days were somewhat short, back at the hotel around 2pm, but I think that was pretty much just because of the weather.
All and all a great trip. Thanks for organising and supporting it.
