Experience two of the most magnificent attractions in the Faroe Islands within an hour. See both Drangarnir Sea Arch and Múlafossur Waterfall. The boat ride will treat you to an untouched view of these stunningly beautiful sights on the airport island.
The tour starts from the small boat marina in Sørvágur super close to the only airport in the Faroe Islands. Detailed instructions on how to get to the meeting point in Sørvágur are sent to you in the voucher received upon booking. From there you will sail close to Drangarnir Sea Arch lying majestically between the peaky Tindhólmur Islet and Vágar Island.
The awesomeness of this impressive natural wonder will give you a true understanding of why this is one of the most admired landmarks in the Faroe Islands. Weather permitting, you can be one of very few people in the world to sail through the arch itself and almost touch the dark basalt.
Joining the captain on this tour opens a special window into a truly unique place that you will never experience otherwise. Everything about this tour is remarkable.
Next, you will head to Múlafossur Waterfall. This natural attraction is a signature feature of the Faroe Islands. When sailing below secluded settlement Gásadalur, the boat will take you literally only a stone's throw away from the water that tumbles directly from the cliff's edge into the ocean. Take in the amazing views.
Expect to also get a breathtaking aerial view of Mykines Island. There will also be a good chance to experience puffins during the summer months.
You will stay in the boat during the entire trip. This will give you a unique chance to marvel at the eye-catching scenery that will be right in front of you.
Tours are made throughout the year with departure from the small boat marina in Sørvágur. The duration of the tour is one hour. This is a small group boat tour. The maximum capacity is twelve people.
Grab the opportunity to explore Drangarnir Sea Arch and Múlafossur Waterfall. Check availability by choosing a date.

The boat tour to Drangarnir gate was an amazing experience. It was raining but we were provided full body waterproof suits which kept us warm and dry. In this way we really enjoyed dramatic scenery with fog and also took us to Bøur and Múlafossur waterfall. We made stops in order to enjoy up-close views and take photos. The crew gave a nice vibe with cool information and funny stories. Drangarnir sea stacks were beautiful and we also had the chance to pass through the arch. Thank you!

This is a great way to start your visit to the Faroe Islands. You are provided with a warm suit that will help keep your clothes dry, although it is very likely that you will still get a little wet due to the high waves and wind. The small boat takes you by a beautiful small village, a seaside waterfall, interesting geologic rock formations, an isolated islet with three small buildings, and the famous Drangarnir. The tour departure location is within 10 minutes of FAE airport. I highly recommend this tour.

As per the name of the activity, it’s unforgettable. Even more fun when the water is rough and in hail/snow. Highly recommended. Perfect way to see Drangarnir. The cliff face on the other side of the main island was a nice surprise – jaw-dropping.

Even though we had high winds a rough sea, the crew did their best to show us everything possible near Sorvagur. They were professional, nice and told us a lot about villages, islands, salmon farming, wildlife around the bay. They got as close as possible to Drangarnir and Tindholmur, shot perfect photos of us. This is a must do activity even when the weather is not perfect.

This boat tour of Drangarnir and Múlafossar was the highlight of our visit to the Faroes! Just spectacular views of the amazing natural beauty, and our captain was so nice, funny and informative; you could tell how proud he is of his country. He took us not only to the sea stacks and the falls, but staggeringly high cliffs, grottoes and caves. He told us about why the Faroes’ geology so unique, and also history of some of the villages and islands near the sea stacks. This trip is a must! So worth it!

Absolut fantastischer Ausflug, ein Erlebnis, an das wir noch lange zurückdenken werden. Wir hatten perfekten Sonnenschein und sind mit den netten Guides so viele tolle Sehenswürdigkeiten abgefahren. Das Highlight waren natürlich Drangarnir und Tindholmur, aber auch ein versteckter Wasserfall und Strand sowie Múlafossur waren einfach toll. Wir sind sogar durch Drangarnir durchgefahren, das war ein unglaublich tolles Erlebnis. Wenn ihr die Chance habt, macht auf jeden Fall diese Tour, für mich war es eines der tollsten Erlebnisse überhaupt!
