Suðuroy Island | The Photography Tour

Experience the Best of Suðuroy – A Photography Journey Through Suðuroy

Step into the wild and soul-stirring landscapes of Suðuroy Island, the Faroe Islands’ southern frontier. This full-day photography tour invites you to explore windswept cliffs, quiet valleys, and timeless villages—guided by a local photographer who knows where the light falls just right.

Your day begins in Tórshavn, where you’ll board the morning ferry, sailing south across open waters toward a land shaped by the sea and carved by stories.

The journey begins at the edge of the world—Akraberg Lighthouse, where a lonely lighthouse stands watch over the Atlantic. Here, the ocean stretches endlessly, and seabirds dance in the wind. It’s a place that quiets the mind and sharpens the eye, setting the tone for a day of discovery.

Following the western road north, you’ll pause at Vágseiði, where the coastline crashes and roars beneath towering cliffs. This is Suðuroy in its rawest form—bold, untamed, and breathtaking. The rhythm of the waves and the drama of the rocks will fuel your creative spirit.

A break for lunch at the cosy MorMor café gives you time to relax and refuel with local flavors in a warm and welcoming setting.

Weather permitting, the tour will lead you into the secluded valley of Hvannhagi, a hidden world just above Tvøroyri. Surrounded by rugged peaks and a still lake, this place feels like it belongs to another time—a quiet space where the only sounds are wind, birds, and your own footsteps.

The final chapter of the day unfolds in the village of Hvalba, one of the oldest settlements in the Faroe Islands. Nestled between sea cliffs and sweeping green hills, it holds stories in its turf-roofed homes and stone paths—stories waiting to be captured in a single, perfect frame.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share not only the best photography tips, but the legends and lore of the land. You’ll chase light, frame beauty, and witness the shifting moods of an island that’s always alive.

Check availability by choosing a date—and come see Suðuroy through the eyes of a storyteller.
