Fantastic 5 Hour Kalsoy Island & Kallur Lighthouse Tour
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.

It was great! Really enjoyed it.

Just did this tour and was so incredibly happy. I’m not sure if it’s usually like this but I think we just got lucky that our group of 4 had the tour all to ourselves. It was so nice to get off the ferry and climb onto a comfortable and basically empty shuttle bus rather than the public bus FULL of people. Our guide, Johannes, was the owner of the land we were hiking on and the sheep we were passing. His demeanor was sweet and open and he answered all my questions about farming, land ownership, puffins all without batting an eye or thinking I was a silly American tourist. I can’t say enough good things about the tour.
Henning Rindbo –
Our tour was outstanding and The highlights. Kalsoy was great and so was our guide, the farmer and our lunch.

We booked The Kallur Lighthouse Tour. We met our driver Magnus at Syðradalur and he’s so kindhearted that we’re making friends quickly. Jóhannus (The tour guide and the landowner also) has lead us to the top, to see Kallur lighthouse, all amazing view from above and also the James Bond’s Gravestone. I can’t believe that I can really managed to go up there since I’m not the hiker. But Jóhannus always encouraged us so much and we finally get up there! It’s so breathtaking.
We’re so happy and really have wonderful time with the tour.

We had a spectacular time in Kalsoy, appreciated the small group and Johannes was extremely generous to share his time, his plans for his land and his experience with us which made it the most meaningful and a truly exceptional experience.

It was amazing! I feel so lucky that I was able to hike with the actual owner of the land and gain so much information that I wouldn’t have otherwise! I can’t wait to be back and book some more tours through you!

It was absolutely fantastic. Not only did we have basically an almost private tour, but the hike itself (and the lighthouse) was beautiful and the weather was perfect. Our guide was wonderful, not only because of the stories he was able to tell but also because he made sure that my wife and I were comfortable the entire time (which was especially important since we had our 1 year old daughter with us).

Our guide Johannes was a pleasure to meet and led us on this hike with comfort and ease and provided us with a lot of information about the village and island. He is a local sheep farmer and was able to give us plenty of information and insight into his life a d the sheep farming in Faroe Islands. We felt safe and happy to gave booked this trip! Definitely recommend.
