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.

We all really enjoyed this adventure! Very well organised, friendly crew and great commentary in English. Even though the temperature was dipping as we took the 16.30 tour, the suits kept us nice and warm. The boat actually goes through the arch so gives a different perspective than just passing by. Would definitely recommend this tour. Thanks!

We had an amazing tour during sunset yesterday! Jørgen share a lot of insights and anecdotes about the faroe history, geology, fauna, economy, etc. and had an answer to all of our questions. Can totally recommend this tour – also nice to combine with a self organized “postmans hike” which is nearby! Hope to come back soon for another tour!!

Best experience on the Faroe Islands! I booked this boat trip pretty last minute on my final day and was not disappointed. You see so much more than the Drangarnir – although that was definitely a highlight. The guides were charismatic and informative and provided the best afternoon journey I could’ve asked for. It was the perfect group size for a tour as well. Highly recommend for photographers, and anyone who wants to see the beautiful islands of Faroe from the water.

Thrilling experience, an absolute must-do when visiting the Faroe Islands (Føroyar)! The crew was funny, explaining everything we witnessed with such charm. Once we set sail, the ocean got pretty rough, but for my girlfriend and me, this made the trip even more exciting! Thank you for such amazing moments, and we’re looking forward to seeing you again next year!

Even though we were there in September, we had very good weather when we did the boat tour to Drangarnir. You don’t only go to Drangarnir but also to the waterfalls, Tindholmur and all the other places in the surrounding. It was an absolutely amazing experience which we won’t ever forget. The guide was also very good and entertaining. Definitely recommend it!

Went out on the zodiac to see the sea stacks and waterfall. It was amazing. The guide and captain were excellent. Learned so much about the area and The Faroes. Got to go thru the arch! Great experience. Booked a car and other boat excursions with Guide To Faroes. All were wonderful! Hogni even helped with planning my time and answered many questions to be sure we got all we wanted out of our trip. The Faroe Islands are MAGICAL! Thank you Hogni and team for a great trip!

It is a fantastic trip, the staff is friendly. Although it is already 1hour past., the sun appears at that moment, and the crew drive us near to the amazing Drangarnir for us to take good photos. It is a must in Faore island, I strongly recommend this trip.

We spent a gourgeous hour on the speed boat with interesting explanations by our guide. The landscape is simply breathtaking. We had enjoyed the view on Drangarnir from the trekking path from Bøur to Gasadalur the day before; nevertheless from the sea it’s a different experience, plus we were eventually among plenty of cute puffins and other birds.

Cassandra Tan –
An amazing tour! Definitely worth it. We went close to the cliffs, waterfall and even the caves. We saw a seal, puffins and birds on the water and in their nests. The guide had sharp eyes and pointed them out to us. Many photo opportunities. It can get abit bumpy and windy at times but nothing extreme.
We were super lucky to see a small pod of 2-3 whales!!!!!! They said its their first time seeing whales with tourists on a boat. Extremely grateful to behold such a sight. We kept a distance from them and had many opportunities to take photos.

The guide was a colourful character and kept us entertained with some stories about the Faroes. The trip was great, although be prepared to get wet as the sea can be choppy (bring your own wet weather gear). We saw seals and puffins and a few sheep living on a lonely island. Overall it was value for money and a good experience.
