Experience two of the most magnificent attractions in the Faroe Islands including the amazing sea-stacks Drangarnir and the Múlafossur Waterfall. The boat ride will treat you to an untouched view of these stunningly beautiful sights on Vágar island.

The tour starts from the small boat marina in Sørvágur (see map of meeting point). From there you will sail close to Drangarnir lying majestically between the peaky islet Tindhólmur and the island Vágar.

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. You will even be able to touch the dark basalt and sail through the sea arch itself, weather permitting.

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 has become a signature feature of the Faroe Islands. When sailing below to Gásadalur village, the boat will take you literally only few metres from the water that tumbles directly from the cliff's edge into the ocean. From the village Gásadalur, the waterfall Múlafossur simply falls off the island in a breathtaking manner. Take in the amazing view.

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 (see map) in Sørvágur. The duration of the tour is one hour. This is a small group boat tour. The maximum capacity is twelve people.

Weather permitting, you can be one of very few people in the world to sail through the arch in Stóri Drangur. This is the larger of the two sea-stacks.

Grab the opportunity to explore Drangarnir and the waterfall Múlafossur. Check availability by choosing a date.

  1. Glenn –

    Review from trip in June 2023 for a party of 6. Great tour with Ellef and Jorgen, two highly-distinguished, and personable Faroe natives, who can fill you in on the relevant history of the area and explain the complex ownership structure of the local sheep herd. We lucked out with the weather and were able to pass directly through the eye of Drangarnir. The boat was quite new and very comfortable. The departure point was easy to find with plenty of free parking and gas close by. We were able to take plenty of great video footage and pictures, including close encounters with wildlife and interesting geological formations as mentioned in their description. We were very comfortable with the captain’s boat skills and the overall safety. This is a short, fun trip for those who want to get up close and personal with the environment and the Faroes.

  2. Lance Enos –

    What a fantastic time! Ellef and Jurgen were humorous and informative. The RIB boat was very comfortable. We left the marina sailing into a wonderful hour of seeing all of the points of interest on a beautiful day with excellent weather. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour for anyone traveling to Faroe Islands.

  3. Sebastian Kaps –

    It was great! See you next year!

  4. Mark –

    Great experience. Would highly recommend.

  5. Mai –

    Was an unforgettable day 😊👊🏻🤩
    Stunning landscape, breathtaking views and nice captain and tour guide 😎

    Thank you for such outstanding tour 😊

  6. Kristin Kalmbacher –

    The boat trip was fantastic. Guides were amazing, kind and knowledgable.

  7. Aaron –

    Great tour but dress properly for due exposure to high waves, wind, and speed of the boat. Not recommended if you easily get sea sick as it can get bumpy out in the Atlantic ocean waves.

  8. Stefanie Klein –

    Excellent time! So cool to be able to see Dranganir up so close. We saw many puffins too! Very good value for the price.

  9. Linda Garlepp –

    We really enjoyed the drangarnir tour yesterday. Our boat driver and guide were great. Even though the waves were rough the ride was great and we learnt alot about what we were looking at.

  10. Emma Lewille –

    The tour was really nice! A beautiful experience to see the islands from the open ocean. I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

  11. Courtney Jackson –

    We had a great time on the trip. The hosts were wonderful ☺️

  12. Jasmine Mann –

    Enjoyed the tour indeed!!

  13. Christa Esmarch –

    Great!

  14. Debra Gehrig –

    The 4:30pm departure time did fill me with a little trepidation as I thought it would be chilly on the water.
    Yes, it was chilly! But the waterproof onsie offset most of the cold and the occasional water spray. There was no swell to wash water over the edge until right at the end when we were quite close to the rocky outcrops and arch.
    That will teach me to keep my mouth closed and not call out in delight. The
    Atlantic was only a touch salty on the tongue!
    One hour was a perfect duration – and we even had Puffins diving around us as they swept the rocky cliffs.
    My family could not believe I did this tour ( vertico and sea sickness being a bit of an issue with me) but my many photos proved them wrong.
    I am going home to enlarge my photographic evidence and proudly hang on my walls as a long lasting memory and will tell anyone who will listen of my amazing Faroe water adventure.

  15. Jiawei Hong –

    The boat tour was great, my husband and I had experienced a great time that day in Faroe Islands, your teams are very nice and welcoming. Wish we could visited Faroe Islands more times in the future.

  16. Camilla –

    En helt fantastisk sejltur med gode stop undervejs, god guide og som positiv ekstra overraskelse så vi mange søpapegøjer

  17. Michal Sierens –

    We loved it! We appreciated that you accommodated us on this tour since the one we had booked earlier in the day was cancelled for weather 🙂 We had a great time.

  18. Rafael –

    Very good trip, although weather conditions were not so good, the captain was amazing and he went into the arch. Also, good explanations from the guide and the most important… We saw a lot of puffins!!

  19. Sen Lessem –

    Absolutely fabulous! Guides were wonderful, excellent boat, unbelievably beautiful views. Highly recommend.

  20. Giovanni Iudice –

    The boat tour to Drangarnir was astonishing!

    The crew was great and the experience memorable.

    I would reccomend it to anyone visiting the Faroe Islands.

  21. Andrzej –

    Wondeful boat trio around Drangarnir as well as two most spectacular on Faroe Islands waterfalls. Great guide!

  22. Melanie –

    Great tour. 1 hour was very short. I wish we could have spent a bit more time for photos, and gone around Tindhólmur. But overall it was beautiful and well worth it.

  23. Yesa –

    The captain and the co-captain are very knowledgeable, witty people. They were very open to questions and very astute at spotting birds. We ended up seeing some puffins and a seal. The co-captain had good geographical knowledge as well. Highly recommend. Must dress appropriately for cold and windy conditions.

  24. Mariana –

    We had all the seasons in one boat trip. From snow to sun, but I wouldn’t had changed at all. It was magical and emotional to be so near to this powerful waterfalls and cliffs. The guides were super friendly and I wouldn’t mind to repeat it everyday. It is without any doubt a must do experience! Thank you.

  25. Kerry Stieger –

    It was great! I was able to see many things at once. The weather’s also really good!

  26. Maria Wolff –

    Die Tour war super. Das Wetter war zwar sehr durchwachsen, aber dadurch konnten wir mit dem Zodiac über die Wellen hüpfen. Außerdem wurde uns ein warmer Swimsuit angeboten. Der Kapitän war sehr nett und hat die vielen Fragen ausführlich beantwortet. Die Tour ist wirklich schön und kam uns viel länger vor.

  27. Tom Frost –

    A great trip. Fast and fun with a knowledgable crew. Lots to see from waterfalls, to birds to geology.

  28. Federico –

    Incredible views, totally worth it

  29. DeMar Neal –

    We had a fantastic time on the one-hour tour. The weather in March is highly unpredictable, but we were blessed with mostly sunny skies and relatively calm seas. The captain and his daughter met us at the harbor, and took us all around the fjord. They were wonderfully informative and kind, and we learned afterwards that he was ALSO the captain of the plane that brought us to the Faroe Islands! How’s that for personalized service!

  30. Kevin Martin –

    Despite it being cold and rainy, which whips straight into your face while you’re on the boat, this was an amazing experience. Pulled right up at the marina, slipped right into the jumpsuits provided, and we were on the boat in just a couple of minutes. Got some great footage in heavy waves. Good captain, good guide. Highly recommended!

  31. Julie Brown –

    Amazing! We got lucky with fantastic November weather and the boat trip was awesome! It was so cool to see Dranganir and the waterfall from the boat. So memorable, I definitely recommend it!

  32. Curt Nelson –

    This was a fantastic experience! The boat crew (father and son) were exceptional, making sure we were safe while having a fun time. Up close views of Dranganir and surrounding area and the crew shared a lot of interesting information about the area and various sites we saw. It’s a fun ride!

  33. Kirsten Fong –

    One of the coolest and excursions I have ever been on. There were only 3 of us on the tour (low season) but the guides (a man and his son) were friendly and informative, and we were lucky enough to go under the arch of Drangarnir. The tour lasts about an hour and you are able to see a number of beautiful spots around Vagar – a nearby town by the water, a waterfall with a little beach under it, Mulafossur, Tindholmur, and the majestic sea stacks. Make some time for this tour on your trip. You won’t regret it.

  34. Diane Chong –

    Thank you all for your kind effort to make this happen!! We truly appreciate it ♥️♥️🙏🏻

    Miss you Faroe Island, hope to see you again soon ♥️♥️♥️

  35. Cory Mazure –

    Very kind captain and unbelievable sights! You will get multiple jaw dropping sights only seeable from the water!

  36. Natalia Langa –

    It was really nice to see all the different rocks and waterfalls from up close. We made a lot of circles around the rocks so that everyone could see them clearly and take picture of them. And our guide (I don’t remember his name, but he was a 17 year old lad) was great. He passed a lot of interesting fun facts about the Islands, rock formations etc.

  37. Angela Rieck –

    Great way to see the cliffs, but be aware this is an open boat so bring really warm and waterproof clothes. Also, it can get very rough on the water, so if you have a Problem with your back that could be an issue. But if you are well prepared for Wind and weather, this trip gives a fantastic view of the Coast. We drove to the cliffs and got some fun Details about the different sights. Great Tour.

  38. Linnea Ferm –

    Fantastisk oplevelse:)

  39. Catherine Leipciger –

    What a fabulous trip! The captain and his first mate were very experienced and knowledgeable. They made everyone feel at ease and were wonderful at getting us up close and personal with the sites. I had never been on an RIB before, and it was a lot of fun being able to open it up on the extremely smooth water. It truly was an unforgettable experience!

  40. Benjamin Lankfer –

    Even with rain, such an amazing tour.

  41. Chantel Rowe –

    Really nice crew and nice tour – unfortunately we had bad weather which meant we didn’t really get close to the rocks or see the waterfall, so just make sure you have your expectations ready that weather is very variable and you may not get these beautiful arch pictures in your mind 🙂

  42. David Spitzer –

    I had a truly amazing time on this tour ran by a father and son duo who are super friendly and funny!
    I would definitely recommend anyone that visits the Faroe Islands to take this tour, it is a small boat with not so many people so you get a somewhat personal experience and the guide/ captain is a great operator and he will make sure to stop and turn the boat in all of the top spots so you can get a good view as well as good pictures regardless of where on the boat you’re sitting.
    They will offer you a big bulky raincoat before getting onto the boat, I recommend putting it on even if it doesn’t look so sexy since you never know what kind of weather you will encounter.

  43. Jomar A Perez Ortiz –

    Absolutely AMAZING! This is just mind blowing! There was a lot of strong waves, but the guy driving the boat knows what he’s doing. I’ll give him a 10/10 for taking the time to explain a little bit about the attractions, time spent and his skills driving the boat. Drangarnir is a 20/10, AMAZING.

  44. Helena Baueršímová –

    Bout tour Drangarnir was beautiful, experience of a lifetime.

  45. Sandy Kowdley –

    This was an amazing experience with the nicest captain and crew. It was a rainy, foggy evening and we were afraid that the tour would be canceled. So glad we went. The ocean was wild and a jaw-dropping sapphire. The sights, especially the waterfall and Drangarnir were incredible. One of the best experiences of our lives. Don’t miss it!

  46. Abhiram Yalamanchili –

    The Drangarnir boat tour yesterday was amazing!!

  47. Yasmin Hildrum –

    Amazing boat trip and very knowledgeable crew! I highly recommend!

  48. Ame Phitwong –

    This tour occurred on our first day in the Faroe Islands. It was a great introductory to the islands. Luckily it wasn’t rainy, but the weather was a littler turbulent so we were grateful for the full body warming suits. Our guide was very friendly and informative and made the tour enjoyable. Although we didn’t get to go through Drangarnir because of the weather, we briefly got some calm and sunny weather to enjoy. Would recommend this tour!

  49. Eva Klein –

    Vi var en tur med båden den 4 Juni, og vejret var helt okay, men ikke så godt som det kunne have været. Det var kaptajnen sød at snakke med os alle om bagefter, han håbede vi havde nydt turen, og fortalte at de kunne jo ikke styre vejret🙂

    Båd-turen var mega fin med gode siddepladser, historie-fortællinger og den smukkeste udsigt fra vores elskede Færøerne <3

    Alt i alt var mig og kæresten mega glade for turen.

  50. Josh Kramer –

    Awesome trip! Highly recommend! Waterfalls and much more!
