Explore the most awe-inspiring sights on Kalsoy Island with comfort and ease. This tour includes the famous Kallur Lighthouse standing only metres from the black promontory hundreds of metres above sea level.

Park your car at the large parking lot free of charge in the town Klaksvík on Borðoy Island next to the ferry. Walk straight onboard the ferry to Kalsoy Island departing at 10:00am.

When you step on land on Kalsoy Island 20 minutes later, a shuttle bus awaits you. A local experienced driver will take you through the dark and narrow tunnels connecting the valleys on Kalsoy Island. You will head all the way to the remote village Trøllanes.

When you get to Trøllanes at 11:00am, a local tour guide will greet you. From this uncrowded little village, your guide will take you along the mountain path to Kallur Lighthouse on the very tip of this outlying island.

Remember to bring some food and water. You will need it for the hours on the island.

This less than one hour hike will take you to one of the most iconic sights in the Faroe Islands. When you reach the edge of the cliff where men planted the lonely lighthouse, you will get one of the most otherworldly experiences in nature. Enjoy breathtaking views of the sheer rock wall Borgarin that goes vertically into the open ocean and the neighbouring islands.

You will feel amazing when standing firmly on the island's plateau with breathtaking views. Watch the many birds fly underneath you and above your head. Travellers say they get an immense feeling of serenity on this tour.

When you get back to the village Trøllanes at 13:00pm, a friendly driver awaits you. The driver will take you to the village Mikladalur. You will spend some hours independently in Mikladalur enjoying the tranquil village life.

Make sure to take the epic stairs in Mikladalur down to the Seal Woman statue standing next to the unbelievable coastline. After your visit in Mikladalur, a driver will pick you up and take you to the ferry port.

Jump onboard the ferry hassle-free. No queue and no rush. Walk past the vehicle queue that evolves more than one and a half hour prior to ferry departure. There is always a seat for you in the ferry as a foot passenger.

  2. Olga Postolnikov

    Trip was amazing !!!!! With two kids under 5 years old kids! Wow, breathtaking views!
    Our guide DITTE was terrific. She was very entertaining and knowledgeable about how to present the tour Well done!

  3. Christine Simmons

    We had a wonderful tour on Kalsoy luckily with amazing weather. The logistics were seamless and far better than taking our own car. Ditte’s commentary was very informative and having a guide made it easier to tackle the, at times, challenging walk. I’d advise anyone who isn’t used to hiking to take a walking pole and make sure you wear weatherproof hiking boots. Worth it for the stunning views.

  4. Soizic Lecocq

    I really enjoyed the tour: we were super lucky with the weather and even saw a few rainbows (!!) but it was still a bit muddy so, don’t forget your hiking shoes. Ditte and Sigmund were very friendly and made it very special. Thanks again!

    Tour was very nice and enjoyable. After seeing the scores of tourists using the ferry bus I was glad to have booked the tour. We totally lucked out on the weather and had perfect picture opportunities.
    I have deducted a star for logistical chaos. None of the provided logistics information was correct: I was told by email I would be sent ferry tickets by email but then received another message that the guide had them. I was told to arrive by 9:30 at the ferry but the guide was 20 minutes late with no apology from her whatsoever, I was told guide would carry tour sign to recognise her but then received last minute phone call of what she was wearing. As I was getting nervous 15 mins before departure I called the operator number to enquire as to the whereabouts of the guide but number was not reachable. In the end everything worked out but this logistical chaos needs to be much improved upon. Don’t tell people a series of facts none of which turn out to be true. This is rather confusing.

    Great tour! We usually like to explore places on our own, but booking this tour was definitelly a good idea – you still get a very authentic experience, sice you’re getting a tour from locals and from the land owner, we didn’t have to worry about the timing and we saw and learned things we couldn’t if we were on our own! Thank you for a great tour!
