Come and take your own picture of the most spectacular lighthouse in the Faroe Islands in astonishing surroundings. This is your chance to experience Kalsoy island.

On this tour you will first be picked up wherever you want in Tórshavn at 08:15. From Tórshavn, you will head to Klaksvík, the second biggest town in the Faroe Islands very much anchored in its fishing tradition. From Klaksvík you will take the ferry to Syðradalur on Kalsoy island. You will wait in the ferry line for half an hour in Klaksvík.

Arriving to Kalsoy island you will make your way north on the only road on this sparsely populated island. Only 90 inhabitants dwell here year round, but the island is well served by infrastructure featuring several road tunnels connecting the four villages on this island.

You will drive north to Mikladalur to visit the Seal Woman, a statue by the shore of the village Mikladalur. The statue represent the seal woman who, according to ancient Faroese legend, was forced to live with a human, but who all the time was longing to get back to live in the sea as a seal.

By the northern most village on the island, Trøllanes, you will go off-road and head for the lighthouse on foot. This is a medium mountain hike and the first part of the trail requires some effort. There is no path, but you are walking on grass and stony surface. It is highly recommended to follow your tour guide and do not undertake the hike on your own unless you are an experienced hiker. 

On your way up to the lighthouse you are likely to pass sheep, mountain dwelling birds and maybe you can spot occasional hare. Underneath you is the Atlantic ocean populated by seals and other sea mammals.

The view by the lighthouse is absolute breathtaking and entirely unique. To the south you see the vertical side of the 537 m high mountain Borgarin. To the west you see Eysturoy and to the east you see the north side of Kunoy island and Viðoy island.

At the end of the day, you will head back to Tórshavn. You will first take the ferry from the harbour in Kalsoy island to Klaksvík. When back in Klaksvík, your tour guide will take you back for Tórshavn which is an hours drive away from Klaksvík.

    A wonderful tour of Kalsoy Island and all its special places with Randi. Randi’s love of the Faroe Islands comes through every word of her knowledge of the history, the environment, and the sagas of how the Faroese lived and live. It was delightful to meet local farmers, residents who make cheese, candy, and live in a beautiful place with harsh conditions. The drive and the walks were stunning. Thank you Randi for a wonderful day. Is this tour a must if you have the time – absolutely!!!

    An Experience I will NEVER Forget.
    I went to the Faroe Islands for a milestone birthday. I decided I wanted to spend doing something memorable on the day of my birthday, so I booked the guided tour to Kalsoy & Kallur Lighthouse with Randi. It was the MOST WONDERFUL time, and I could not have asked for anything more perfect on my birthday. Randi is an incredible guide. Her knowledge and love for the islands are undeniable, and her love for and experience with hiking are evident – she led the way without any issues and it was so easy to follow her lead. Randi definitely went out of her way to make sure I had the best experience and one I will never forget. She truly made it special. I don’t want to spoil the surprises Randi has/does, so I highly HIGHLY recommend booking Randi for a very special experience.

    This was an exhausting, but a worthy hike to the Kalsoy lighthouse. I would rate as as extremely difficult, instead of moderate. Randi was an excellent guide, and took us to an off beaten path, which she recommended, due to not being as muddy as the marked path. She even took us to the James Bond Tombstone, and the Seal Woman, even though those weren’t on the itinerary.

    This tour and hike was amazing. I would not recommend doing this activity without a tour guide like Randi. The transportation situation is complicated and being with Randi ensured that we would get a spot on the ferry. Randi also knew the way to walk up the mountain as there is no formal path. She kept us safe with her knowledge of the terrain and was sure to stop regularly on the way up to the lighthouse to accommodate all levels of fitness in the group. She provided a great deal of history of the area. The stop at the Seal Woman sculpture was a lovely ending to the tour and we were even able to get a photo with a rainbow behind the statue. Thank you, Randi!

    I highly recommend this tour and Randi is full of knowledge on the Faroe Islands. She is an excellent hiker and guide. I personally would not advise anyone to make the trip to Kalsoy without Randi or someone like her because of the perks and knowledge you get with being with a local guide are invaluable.
