Affordable 5 Hour Kalsoy Island Evening Tour
Put on your hiking boots and get ready for an unforgettable adventure to Kalsoy Island and the famous Kallur Lighthouse. This evening tour will get you to one of the most sought after attractions in the Faroe Islands when the morning and afternoon crowds have left the island.
This tour is made with a maximum of 4 travellers. That is a very unique way to explore the otherwise crowded Kalsoy Island.
Led by a local farmer and Kalsoy Island tour guide, this trip starts when you arrive at the ferry harbour in the fishing town Klaksvík. This tour will take advantage of the peaceful evenings on the remarkable Kalsoy Island.
Now, your farmer guide will join you on a 20 minutes ferry ride from Klaksvík on Borðoy Island to Kalsoy Island. The ferry crossing is a memorable experience in its own right. Enjoy the towering mountains and epic fjord network surrounding Kalsoy Island.
When you reach this island, your guide will drive you through several mountain tunnels. Now, your farmer tour guide will take you to the northernmost village on Kalsoy Island. In a deep valley, you will find the village Trøllanes from where your epic hike towards Kallur Lighthouse starts. You only need some basic hiking skills in order to complete the walk into the wilderness and the remarkably located Kallur Lighthouse.
Along the way you will also stop by the village Mikladalur on Kalsoy Island. You will experience the statue Kópakonan which translates into the Seal Lady. Your guide will tell you about the legend linked to the statue. For those who want something extra, make sure to add a Faroese food platter and even local cheese made in Mikladalur and good white wine to the cart during the booking process.
The food add-on is recommendable. Enjoy the lunch in the most scenic surroundings! At the end of the tour, you will take the ferry back to Klaksvík at 10:35 PM.
Visiting Kalsoy Island is an once-in-a-liftetime experience where you get the most epic mountain views known by many but visited by only few. Do not let this fantastic opportunity pass you by. Check availability by choosing a date.

This trip was one of the highlights of my time in the Faroe Islands.
My guide Jogvan met me at the ferry in Klaksvik and we took the short ride over to Kalsoy where he drove me to the village of Trøllanes to start the hike. I was travelling alone so I was worried that I might not find him, but the ferry is tiny so that wasn’t a problem and he immediately put me at ease chatting away. It was pouring with rain when we arrived in Kalsoy but remarkably as we passed through the final tunnel to Trøllanes the rain stopped! After a quick bathroom break we set off on the hike. I was a bit nervous as I am scared of heights but I didn’t find the hike challenging at all, I am not a hiker but I am fairly fit. Yes it’s muddy but I was wearing hiking shoes, although gumboots (welly boots) might have been a better choice and it was a little challenging in parts but you can’t fall off a cliff unless you go right to the edge (I didn’t!)
(There is a very skinny section of land behind the lighthouse that you see in all the photos that you can walk along with a drop on either side but you don’t need to go out there as you still have the most spectacular views without doing that bit. I didn’t go out there with my fear of heights!)
The BEST part about hiking at this time of night was that we set off at 6pm and reached the lighthouse in less than 40 minutes and we were the ONLY ones there. I had the entire view to myself (plus a few sheep) so I could take my time, even sit down, take a breath and enjoy the scenery and the silence which was very special.
After the hike we went to visit the seal woman. As I was travelling in late September it was dark by then but she is lit up so it was a very spooky view of her and not one many others would have photos of! From there we went to one of Jogvan’s cottages where I met his lovely wife who had prepared some traditional Faroese food for me and I tried some Forøya beer. In chatting with them I was able to get an insight into their daily life on the island and we also listened to some Faroese music. It was a really lovely evening and one that I will cherish. Don’t hesitate to book this trip!
