Incredible 8 Hour Guided Tour to Kalsoy & Kallur Lighthouse
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.

The lighthouse location is beautiful. And the views are also spectacular, specially to the west.
Didn’t care much about James Bond’s gravestone.
Seal woman statue is an interesting complement to the tale. You got to know it to fully enjoy the visit.
Going through the tunnels – the narrow ones on Kalsoy and the subsea ones between islands (one even with a roundabout) – also gives a nice touch to the tour.
Randi, who guided me, was always very attentive to provide me a good tour and get me to be on time no to miss transportation. It was a very enjoyable time talking to her, hearing the stories and talking about languages. Gracias Randi.

This was a really amazing tour and would definitely reccomend! The guide was very friendly and helpful. While the hike could be done on your own, it can be stressful figuring out the bus and ferry as they have only have a limited capacity. Being with a guide meant we could relax a bit while also learning about the islands and talk with a local. I would definitely reccomend taking a tour for the hike!

It was such a memorable hike up the lighthouse. Brynhild was experienced and able to guide us through the safe route and it didn’t feel that difficult. The view up there was breathtaking and we just couldn’t get enough of it.
Highly recommended to go for this tour.

Trip with Randi was fantastic. Informative, adventurous and fun. great hike up to the lighthouse and seeing the amazing seal woman sculpture was magical.

Ce tour est exceptionnel, et la guide Randi est vraiment gentille et passionnée. En plus elle parle couramment plusieurs langues donc c’est vraiment agréable. J’avais la chance d’être toute seule sur le tour donc c’était encore mieux car en quelque sorte un tour privé. La randonnée jusqu’au phare est magnifique et la vue en haut est l’une des plus belles, peu importe le temps qu’il fait. Je recommande vraiment ce tour ! Merci pour cette journée Randi !

I had an awesome experience on a tour to Kalsoy island and lighthouse with Randi. The hike was not too hard, and it took about an hour to reach the lighthouse. The views were stunning, and Randi was an excellent guide who knew a lot about the area. She was super friendly and approachable. Thank you, Randi!
