Welcome to the Faroe Islands

Pick up your car at the airport on Vágar island. You will be in the middle of awe-inspiring nature from the very start of your arrival. Before driving through the peaceful landscape to your accommodation in Tórshavn, you can head right to the famous Múlafossur waterfall.

The waterfall that empties into the ocean is only a 15 minutes drive from the airport. Here you will stand in front of one of nature's great wonders.

Head to your accommodation in Tórshavn. Enjoy the evening in the tranquil capital.

Day 2

The puffin island Mykines

On your first full day in the Faroe islands, you will explore the island that will give you a true sense of natural peace. Mykines is an out-of-this-world experience.

There are 10 people living on the lush green island. They are outnumbered by thousands and thousands of puffins. You will get really close to the puffins once you are on Mykines Island. Walking on the island next to the puffins is epic and safe. Enjoy the small village before returning to the main islands.

Day 3

The Northern Islands

On day three, you will head north to the renowned Northern islands. The mountains here are simply stunning.

Make sure to visit the village Viðareiði. This is the most northerly settlement in the Faroe islands and it comes with amazing views.

You will also get stunning vistas from the vantage point Klakkur. In order to get to this attraction, you will do an easy hike for 3o minutes above the town Klaksvík.

Day 4

The Vestmanna Sea Cliffs

Today, you will sail into grottos, through narrow sounds, and get close to the high vertical cliffs in Vestmanna. Head to the village and jump onboard the boat booked for you with departure in the morning.

Day 5

Streymoy Island

On your fifth day, you will experience two awe-inspiring villages on the main island Streymoy. Spend as much time at each attraction as you prefer.

Saksun is home to a tidal lagoon and unforgettable views. The picturesque turf roofed church sits in remarkable settings. Tjørnuvík gives you that true feeling of being far away from home on your holiday!

Day 6

Drangarnir & Vágar Island

Get ready for an exciting day in the western part of the Faroe Islands. The absolute highlight of the day is a boat tour to the sea arch Drangarnir.

Start the day out by visiting stunning locations on Vágar island. Head to the renowned village Bøur and spend some quality time in the remote village Gásadalur.

The boat tour departing from Sørvágur is included in this package. You will meet the captain in the small marina in the village Sørvágur in the afternoon. Enjoy this exceptional experience in nature. The duration of the tour will be one hour or so.

Day 7

Eysturoy Island

On your seventh and final full day in the Faroe Islands, you will experience Eysturoy Island. Here you will see some of the island's hidden wonders from quaint settlements to calm fjords surrounded by rolling green hills.

Drive from Tórshavn in the morning. Make sure to make your way through the Eysturoy Tunnel, which holds the world's first underwater roundabout. Stop in small villages such as Rituvík and Æðuvík both with a tranquil feeling to them. Enjoy the fresh air and endless ocean views. The scenery on the island is lovely.

At the end of the day, head back to Tórshavn. Spend your last evening at one of the great restaurants in the city centre.

We had a fabulous time.

Don Solimini – 23/08/2024

Ended up having a wonderful trip, despite the lack of puffins. We did see some at the Mulafossur waterfall in Gasadular and on the boat to Dragarnir stacks; wild ride!!
We covered many of the islands in our time there; hikes, and shopping. Drove from Gasadular to Husavik, to Klaksvik to Gjogy, with Funningur and Fuglfiordur in-between. (of course not all on the same day!)
Despite the reports of significant rain, except for our first day, we even had sun! But of course the ‘bad weather’ made the waterfalls even more spectacular.

The itinerary is perfect for us. If you want to hike a lot you can do so, if you like to drive around more and sightsee you can so as well. We travelled with my older mom so we need a balance of both so everyone will enjoy the trip. All the arrangements was good except one hiccup. The itinerary given to us via email has the car rental phone number and reservation number, but once I reached the Rental Car Center, there are many car rental companies inside and yet the itinerary didn’t told us which car rental company the reservation number belongs to. Even the car rental phone number given was not correct, the person who answered the call has said so. Then the only way to contact your company is just via email.. that was stressful to me. It did get resolved on my 2nd guess/attempt to find the right rental company inside the Car Center. But with that said, am still happy and content with the trip arrangements. My family is happy with the trip too.

We are totally happy! I believe that the plan that was provided for us was perfect. Every second day was a boat day what was pretty great solution for us as for the rest we went hiking! I wouldn’t change anything at all, great balance! And I already recommended it to my friends 😁 The weather was really pleasant to be honest! We got lucky as the rain for the most of the time was in the evening 🙂
