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.

The landowner was our guide to the Light House and Bond monument. He was a great asset to the tour and could answer every question put to him.

Maybe, if the weather is fine, this is the most beautiful trekking in Faroe Islands but, when the weather is bad, it can be really dangerous and the path should be closed, because it is muddy and extremely slippery. Guides should tell everyone that it doesn’t make any sense to climb up the hill to see nothing. I’ve seen many people falling down and getting wet and muddy, fortunately without getting hurt. When it is wet, it is not an average difficulty trail, but a very difficult one. Just keep that in mind…

Excellent tour! Weather was great which of course makes everything better…. The guide and the bus driver were on time and were looking after the whole group. The scenery up at the lighthouse is simply amazing!

The lighthouse tour was great and smooth. It was a good and on-time experience led by the local guide.

It was a interesting Tour and many thanks to Magnus, Rani and Johannus! Probably because of bad weather, the hike was more difficult and time consuming, so I was a little bit in a hurry at Mikladur. But also here the soup was fantastique! Everything was well organised and an detailed information per Mail, the day before was appreciated. As a individuel Traveler, it wood have been a big help, to get the actuel Bus to and from Thorshavn on the booked day.

We had a wonderful and well organized trip to Kallur and the rest of Kalsoy. A few years ago we dus the trip ourselves, with own car. Now we didn’t want to worry about busses and time tables etc. So we booked the tour: it was great! Very interesting because our guide and landowner and farmer was enthousiast and told lot about the area. The buss driver dus make an extra stopover and was also Very nice. We enjoyed the whole trip and were in time for the ferry back to kalsvik! No waiting with our own car to catch a Ferry!
