Eysturoy Island | The Photography Tour
Explore and Photograph the Highlights of Northern Streymoy and Eysturoy
Capture the most iconic sights of northern Streymoy Island and Eysturoy Island with your camera on this unforgettable photo tour. You’ll be guided by a local expert and photographer who will take you to the absolute best spots in this incredibly scenic part of the Faroe Islands.
Your guide will pick you up in the morning from Tórshavn — and if another pick-up location suits you better, no problem at all.
On the way to Gjógv, you’ll make a short detour uphill for a walk to the famous Hvíthamar Vantage Point. From here, you’ll experience the jaw-dropping panoramic view over Funningsfjørður Fjord, one of the most beautiful fjords in the country. Hvíthamar is perched along the ridge between Funningur and Mount Middagsfjall, offering a truly spectacular perspective.
Your next destination is the picturesque village of Gjógv, known for its natural gorge running through the centre of the village. You’ll walk along the edge of the ravine until you reach the end, where a breathtaking view opens up — the gorge, the village, and the surrounding mountains all in one shot. You may also encounter some of the rich birdlife that calls this area home.
On the return journey, you’ll stop along the mountain road to capture Funningur from above, where the iconic zigzagging road leads your eye toward the quaint village far below. It’s one of the most photogenic spots on the islands.
Taking the scenic route back, we’ll pause above Eiði to take in the legendary sea stacks Risin & Kellingin (The Giant and the Witch). Then we’ll continue to Fossá Waterfall, the tallest waterfall in the Faroe Islands. The final stop is the remote village of Tjørnuvík, where you can enjoy a quiet stroll along the dramatic black sand beach and a warm cup of tea or coffee.
At every stop, your guide will help you find the perfect spot to take the shot — the one you’ve probably seen in travel magazines and on social media. But nothing compares to seeing it with your own eyes (and lens!).
This tour is designed to make the most of the ever-changing Faroese light — expect to witness several seasons in one day! Your guide will provide inspiration and advice, but let you take your photos your own way.
So, what are you waiting for? Make the most of local knowledge and photography experience while visiting some of the Faroe Islands’ most breathtaking sites on Streymoy Island and Eysturoy Island.

Excellent tour and tourguide is Ditte. One of the best tours I did from the capital city. She is really a good photographer too. The whole trip from beginning till the end was amazing. We had all the time, no rush. If I am gonna a tour again I definitely choose for and of her photography tours. This tour is also for not so experience people (like me), you don’t have to be a professional. Also it’s like you have been a day out with a local and therefore you know much more about the Faroese people in general. Thanks for everything Ditte 😉

This was the first in a series of 3 tours I took with Ditte. What a fantastic day! Ditte is not only good company, but an amazing guide, with lots of knowledge and a willingness to share. The itinerary was super varied, with lots of stops and a bit of everything. By the end of the day, it felt like I had experienced several day’s worth of sights! At the same time, the pace was perfect for me. Nothing ever felt forced or rushed. Highly recommended.

Fantastic full day private tour of several islands with Ditte. She was amazing and shared her immense knowledgeable of history, local way of life and local traditions. She showed us a number of most interesting places and the beautiful nature; her aptitude and willingness to share her knowledge was incredible.

This was the last one of a series of tours with Ditte. She was an exceptional tour guide during my exploration of Eysturoy Island . Her deep knowledge of the area, coupled with her willingness to be flexible, made the experience truly memorable. She expertly guided me through all the must-see spots on the island, ensuring I didn’t miss a single highlight.
Thank you Ditte for everything!

The photography tour with Ditte was more than I ever could have imagined. Incredible views, hikes, quaint villages, and mountainous and coastal roads. We had so much fun, it felt like a dream! I highly recommend this tour to see what beautiful Eysturoy has to offer and the wealth of knowledge that Ditte has to share!

We had a lovely photographing tour with Ditte at the end of a landscape photo tour we did in the Islands. Ditto was very flexible in her plans for us as we had visited all the main locations already. We wanted to revisit some areas for missed shots as well as some off the beaten path locations. Ditte not only stepped up to the challenge, she had many interesting details, stories and discussions to add to the experience. I would recommend hiring Ditte for her tour of top locations. Thanks for a lovely day with a difference.

I can’t even begin to describe what a pleasure it was to have Ditte Joensen as my guide. She was so accommodating to my ever changing schedule – picked me up promptly and the tour began. She is so knowledgeable about so many facets of her country. She also has a soothing and calming demeanor that made her sense of humor and lightheartedness, the icing on the cake. Classy, down to earth and a sheer joy. We laughed a lot, which makes any tour all the more pleasurable. I wouldn’t hesitate to specifically request Ditte on future visits to the Faroe Islands.

Ditte is a fantastic guide who is not only knowledgeable, but also flexible. She was very accommodating in adjusting the tour based on which locations I have visited prior to the tour, and she substituted it with a little city tour and added some other photo-stop locations. She also takes care of her clients’ well-being and makes them feel engaged and welcomed. Would strongly recommend this tour!
Gabriel Pemberton –
The tour with Ditte was very good, she really pays attention to the individual and takes an interest, and tries to make the tour as personal as possible so that you get the best experience.
She is very sociable and warm & what’s you to experience the best the Faroese has to offer, (people and places), she knows the different islands and most photographic places to visit as well which means visitors will have a great time when out with Ditte on tour.

Great tour, Ditte was an amazing guide. The views were spectacular and even the weather was kind, which is not often the case in the Faroes. Even if you only have one day in the Faroes, this is the tour to take. Thanks Ditte!
