Kalsoy Island Evening Tour | Local Food Samples Included
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 and while it is still bright as the day (thank you, bright summer months!).
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 bright and 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. You will get a local beer and some local tasting when in Mikladaur. Enjoy small samples of local food in the most scenic surroundings! This is included in the tour.
For those who want something extra, make sure to add some local cheese made in Mikladalur and good white wine to the cart during the booking process. The cheese and white wine add-on is recommendable. 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.

We had a marvelous time hiking on Kalsoy and enjoying the scenery and the local food. We were lucky to have lots of sunshine up untill 22.00. Many thanks to our guide for all the stories, info and the many laughs.

This was an excellent tour! We first wanted to go on our own, but the ferry didn’t carry cars so we decided to book a tour. This was our choice because it was for only 4 guests and in the evening.
Jógvan took good care of all of us. On the hike he made stops whenever we needed one and he talked about what it is like living here. At the lighthouse he advised us on which places are safe to go and which ones are only for experienced people without fear of heights. We were almost for ourselves and had lots of time to take pictures and to look for the geocache that is hidden here. Jógvan even climbed down to get the box for me because I was afraid to climb down!
After the hike we had a short visit at the seal lady and then we enjoyed some excellent local food. I wasn’t expecting more than tiny bits to try, but we were offered a fish soup with bread in addition to traditional food like dried fish and lamb.
Unfortunately time ran out way too quickly and it was time to get to the ferry.
Highly recommend, thank you Jógvan for the wonderful evening!

We really enjoyed our tour with Jogvan. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. A beautiful hike to the lighthouse was followed by a trip to the seal woman sculpture and a tasting of traditional Faroese food at his home that included fish soup, lamb, whale, and cheese along with Faroese beer and a wine that was paired perfectly with the cheese. Highly recommend this tour.

What a unique experience! The walking tour with the local farmer was a true discovery of the island. With great passion he talked about his life on the island, which created a warm and authentic atmosphere. The walk ended with a charming food tasting and surprisingly tasty local beer.
A perfect combination of nature, culture and gastronomy. Highly recommended for those looking for a cozy and tasty outing!

There was only one other person other than us at the light house and we were very lucky with the weather too… you can even see Risin Og Kellingin from there…. we have amazing photos and memories thanks to our guide …We were also informed about so many things that we did not know…. Thankyou for an amazing day 🙂

A wonderful experience with Jogvan on this jewel island of the Northern Isles. Jogvan was very proactive in suggesting a change of date due to the weather. Therefore we enjoyed a very sunny day with blue sky and no wind. The hike was easy to the lighthouse and we enjoyed amazing views over the sea and the surrounding moutains. We were lucky to spot some puffins flying.
After the hike, Jogvan drove us to his town where we saw the beautiful seal woman statue. Then he offered us some local specialities, including smoked lamb and cheeses he aged himself as well as Faroese beer. He drove us to the pier on time for the ferry. Probably the best guided tour we’ve had in years, with a knowledgeable guide, eager to share with us a piece of Faroese experience!

Great trip!
Jogvan guided us from the ferry to the lighthouse with incredible views. He offered plenty of local knowledge and conversation and worked to make sure that everyone in our group had a great time. After our hike to the lighthouse we visited the Seal Woman statue and enjoyed the sunset in the village. If you can, try some of his aged cheese, it was fantastic.

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!
