Take a full-day tour to the fabulous Sandoy Island. Experience quaint villages, birds, and stunning coastal views.

You will enjoy unspoiled nature, pristine settlements and rich history from the moment you join the tour starting from Tórshavn. Your English speaking tour guide will take you directly to the newest underwater tunnel connecting Streymoy Island to Sandoy Island in the south. This impressive piece of infrastructure makes it easy to get to this former very isolated island.

This tour includes a delicious meal in a private home on the sandy island. Look forward to enjoying it in front of unspoiled views on Sandoy Island!

First, you will see the only stone factory in the Faroe Islands where they make handcrafted things out of the local basal. The work at the factory in the village Skopun is impressive.

Next up is Sandur, the ancient Viking village on the island. Sandur is the Faroese word for Sand. The soil here is filled with sand, and when you head to your next attraction, you will see the sandy beach filled with beauty.  

Now, you will continue to the small idyllic village Húsavík. This place was home to the richest and most powerful woman in the Middle Ages. Get great views of the North Atlantic Ocean from the seaside covered with pebbles. When it is windy, you will experience attractive waves and impressive surf.

It is time for the village Dalur hidden in a secluded valley. This location is perfect for those who want to experience the traditional lifestyle in the Faroe Islands. When in Dalur, you will visit a private home for a 'Heimablídni' experience which includes a delicious lunch.

Your guide will also take you to the hamlet Skarvanes. This was the birthplace of Dírikur av Skarvanesi, the first artist in the Faroe Islands.

At the end of the day, you will be dropped of in Tórshavn. A great day tour has come to an end.

    Hello, we had again a great day with Elsa Maria. It was our second stay on the spectular Islands. This time we explored Sandoy Island – through the new tunnel and than really the whole Island with a very tasty lunch with very friendly hosts.
    We have learnt a lot of historie and heard Stories about living. Thank you and we will be back😀
