Classic Drangarnir Sea Arch Boat Tour
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.

Absolute fantastic tour. I got pictures on this tour that are not possible on land. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The captain did a great jog keeping me dry in the front seat in pretty rough water. Highly recommended.

The tour I went on didn’t get close to Múlafossur Waterfall at all which was something I had really wanted to see and that was advertised above as a stop. I went on several different boat tours to the other areas and this one was at the bottom of our list of the three. That being said the cliffs were still pretty and they went around the arch and through it. The boat ride did get a bit bumpy and of the boats this one didn’t have as many spots to hold onto.
Patrik Hlavanda –
It was truly a great experience.
Maxine –
We enjoyed a informed and exciting boat ride. The staff were helpful and friendly. The boat trip took us to the amazing rock formation and waterfalls. The boat was safe and safety information was clear and accurate. I fully recommend this trip, it was well priced, interesting and fun.

Zowee – Really excellent!! Captain and crew outfitted everyone with dry suit/ foul weather gear and a floatation device. The one piece kept everyone warm and dry, and nobody got to use the floatation device… Several stops with terrific commentary [local history; geologic history; local color]. I had been up for 36 hours to get to the Faroes, and wasn’t sure how well this was going to go, coming straight from my last flight, but I would consider it a huge success. Highly recommend. Excellent value. Superb captain and “crew”/ tour guide/ local politician/ land owner/ humorist.
Thanks team! Stay loose & awesome!!

The 1 hour boat trip to Drangarnir was absolutely one of the highlights of my trip to the Faroe Islands. I have been wanting to visit for over 10 years and this was the last thing I did after a 10 day trip. It was the absolute best way to say goodbye. I will also state that I didnt mean to take this boat trip as I had wanted to do the hike to Drangarnir…but It didn’t work out and I’m so glad I ended up doing this instead.
I had arrived an hour early, carrying my travel packs, as I had been dropped off by the bus (I had been traveling the entire country by bus), and the first amazing boat captain arrived and welcomed me. He extremely generously offered me coffee while he had his own and we waited in the brisk weather for the tour. (Please don’t expect this of him in the future, it was clearly just a very thoughtful gesture since I had been waiting in the cold rain. I mention it because i was drenched to the bone and very cold and he couldve just let me sit there but instead went the extra mile). The second boat captain arrived, just as charming as the first, and along with guests, we all climbed into our suits that they give us to keep us as warm and dry as possible. The weather was cloudy rainy…but it looked gorgeous with the landscape. I felt very warm and safe as we took off.
Let me just say that the scenery was absolutely gorgeous. Maybe even more so due to the rainy weather. We saw the best views of the landscapes, the waterfalls, and hundreds of puffins….but our captains stories made it even better. The ocean was rough but our captain maneuvered it very skillfully and made me feel very safe. I was shooting photography the entire time, and he maneuvered the boat perfectly to line up with all the best shots of the landscape. He pointed out all the wildlife, and gave us lots of history. It was without a doubt, in one word, perfect. You know those moments when you go into nature and just smile ear to ear and feel so happy and just at peace? This was one of those experiences.
To absolutely put a cherry on top, I asked my captain if he had a number for a taxi, since my flight left less than 2 hours from when we would be getting back to shore and had to hurry 5 min down the road to the airport……and he offered instead for the other captain to drop me off there. They had already done SO MUCH to make it the absolute best experience….and just took it to the next level.
All of the faroese people I have met during my trip have been generous, so kind, so wonderful. And honestly these two men that were running the boat tours today were the absolute embodiment of this. I wish I could mention their names but my spelling of how faroese sounds….I would end up ruining it.
So let me just wrap this up by saying. The boat trip itself = absolutely stunningly beautiful. The boat captains = absolutely awesome gentleman. The safety = top notch. HIGHLY RECCOMEND. Will be coming back.

Great visit, highly recommend it to anyone wishing to see the sea stacks closer, the waterfalls and several other point of views on the islands, including Bøurg village. The guide was super nice and informative, he told us many stories about the islands, and has a great sense of humour! Thank you to him and the captain of the boat.
Susan Pozer –
Absolutely fantastic tour – it was fantastic to see so many sights from the water as opposed to the land. Our captain was great providing us with great stories about the region while navigating rough water in such a way that you always felt comfortable. I would highly recommend this tour!
Danny Pelizzon –
This was brilliant! The people are friendly and tell you something about the history. You will see a waterfall, caves, sea stacks, a cool beach and the small village Bøur. The boats are very fast which gives this tour a boost, which is fun. You get to wear suits which protect you against the water and cold, but it is mainly for your safety. We saw puffins, seals and baby birds in their hidings. Highly recommended.
Wing Yin Chan –
Exceptional! Stunning views and wonderful experience. Our captains are humorous, kind and professional! A must do item when u would be at FAE. Highly recommended!
Orjana Velikonja –
We had a good time with Bluegate boat tours to Drangarnir and Mulafossur waterfall. It was funny, informative and safe. Would definitely recomed it.
Marina –
The best boat tour I’ve been on, honestly! Everything from the fishermen suits that kept us warm for the whole entire hour, to the breathtaking views, to the guides who revised just the right amount of info and knew when to just let us take everything in in silence. I highly recommend this tour to absolutely anyone who is into nature and adventure. A million percent worth it!
B.J. Woodstein –
This is a wonderful trip. We went on a very rainy day and still had a great time, even though we were quite cold and wet!
I recommend that you ensure you go to the toilet before you park as there are no toilets at the harbour (nearest one is at the petrol station). I also recommend that you dress appropriately, with waterproof gear. You will get wet.
The views are beautiful!
Cory J Bell –

A must do when you are in Faroe Islands. Very informative and adventurous at the same time. Going through the famous Dranganir sea stack was awesome. Captain showed us some puffins as well. Lastly, he was very polite and took great pictures of our family.

Sincerely,
Hassan

This trip exceeded our expectations! The captain and his mate did an excellent job lining us up for great photos. We went to the base of the Mulafossur waterfall.

Christian –
We very much enjoyed the tour and recommend it to see the famous landscape and cliffs.
Hannah Barton –
This was the best most memorable thing I did in the Faroe Islands. I was worried about seasickness but staying in the fjord for most of the time meant no sickness at all! Seriously amazing views and I loved having a guide to give us a local perspective. We lucked out with weather and were able to go through the arch which was incredible! If I could only do one thing in the Faroes, I would do this tour. Well worth the price!
Stelios –
The most amazing trip I had in Faroe. Cliffs were breathtaking. We even saw puffins in Tindhólmur Islet. The boat was great (fast and made many stops in the places of interest)
