Fall in love with the Faroe Islands, home to astonishing natural beauty. This legendary small-group tour will let you explore the best of the Faroe Islands in one day. See as much as possible of this undiscovered corner of the world. With an experienced tour guide with a strong passion for seaside views and waterfalls, you are in good company.

Your life-long native Faroe Islands tour guide has the local knowledge and will make sure that you get the most out of your time around the Faroe Islands. So this is what awaits you.

You will be picked up in the morning at your accommodation in Tórshavn (including the suburbs Argir and Hoyvík) on Streymoy Island.  Just let the tour guide know where you are staying once you book the tour.

Now, you will hit the road and head straight to Eysturoy Island. Your tour guide will take you along windswept mountains and all the way to the natural gorge in Gjógv, where you can enjoy the crashing waves.  The peaceful village Gjógv is waiting for you to be discovered.

Now, you will head to the tranquil hideaway Saksun. This lovely little village is tucked away in lush grass on the westside of Streymoy island. The village faces an incredible view of a hidden tidal lagoon.

You will now glide silently along the well-kept roads in the Faroe Islands and stop by the captivating Fossá Waterfall. Enjoy the power of nature for a while as you stand next to the crashing water beside this waterfall that drops in two levels.

After this experience, you will head to the remote settlement Tjørnuvík nestled in unmatched natural beauty. Travellers say this hidden valley feels like reclaiming nature.

There will be a stop at a restaurant for lunch. You can buy yourself something at the restaurant (no restaurant visit on Tuesdays).

Now you will get to the famed Vágar Island. Drive along the breathtakingly beautiful shoreline to the turf-roofed village Bøur. The view that you will encounter is otherworldly. You will have a great view of Tindhólmur islet and the famous sea arch Drangarnir.

Your final stop is the spectacular natural wonder in the small village Gásadalur. Here you will experience Múlafossur waterfall perched on the very edge and from where it plunges into the ocean. The scenery is so naturally and is the perfect place to recharge in nature.

Are you ready for a full-day of magical landscapes and seascapes? This will be one of the most incredible days of your life. Check availability by choosing a date.

  1. Nola Vaughan –

    We joined the See It All Faroe Islands Tour with Peter and his sister, and it was absolutely incredible. They took us right around the island, showing us stunning scenery and hidden spots we never would have found on our own. Their knowledge, stories, and warm personalities made the whole day feel special.

    A real highlight was getting to taste whale meat — something unique to the Faroes — and later enjoying lunch at a charming café, which was the perfect break before continuing the journey.

    The pace of the tour was just right, with plenty of time to take in the views while still covering so much in one day. Peter and his sister went above and beyond to make sure we experienced the best of the islands, and we came away with memories we’ll never forget.

    If you want a tour that really captures the heart of the Faroe Islands, this is the one to take. Highly recommended!

  2. Serena Bronda –

    The tour was exceptional, Elsa Maria and her brother were INCREDIBLE. The most knowledgeable guides I have ever had. I learned so much about the history and nature and culture of the Faroe Islands in just a few hours. Elsa was able to make so many stops along the way which made me feel I really got to see the top highlights in just one day (given my limited time on the island). At the same time, I was able to enjoy the breaks along the way, the walks. She was also incredible at creating a friendly, lovely, and fun environment with the other passengers. It was the best day of my vacation on the island. She is so authentic, knowledgeable, kind and friendly. I would recommend this tour and any tours with Elsa Maria.

  3. Ron & Jeanne –

    We had only a few days in the Faroes so this tour was ideal. It hit all the famous sites in the two main islands, but it was the guides’ knowledge and enthusiasm for their home which was the real highlight. And we really appreciated the little snacks/samples and the coffee, plus the excellent, unique restaurant chosen for lunch. Great experience

  4. Wayne –

    I took two tours: the “Outstanding 7-Hour See It All Faroe Islands Tour” with Elsa Maria and the “Majestic 7-Hour Tour of the Northern Islands” with Jens Peter. Both tours and, more importantly, both Guides were EXCELLENT. Elsa Maria and Jans Peter are brother and sister and both have such a deep appreciation of the wonders of the Faroe Islands that it shows through in their expert knowledgeable commentary and their humor – and their understanding of their clients’ needs. I thoroughly enjoyed both tours and I can recommend them unreservedly.

  5. Annie –

    Jens Petur and Elsa Maria were wonderful guides! They were very entertaining and knowledgeable. We were able to see some fantastic views despite the foggy weather. Highly recommend!

  6. AVERY –

    Good!

  7. Melanie Humpherys –

    Peter was an amazing guy and we absolutely loved the tour of the Faroe Islands with him!! Loved hearing all the knowledge about different towns and just the whole islands in general.
    We thought that the whole trip was just the highlight of our visit to the Faroe Islands, and are so grateful for the opportunity to do this tour!!
    Highly recommend do not miss this tour!!!😄👏🏻🙌🏻😃

  8. Dmity –

    It was a fantastic tour!

    Jens and Elsa Maria — super guides, know everything, and great story-tellers!
    The route is very good, it is possible to see so many different beautiful places during one day.

    10 from 10. Thank you!

  9. Mike –

    Truly wonderful experience with a knowledgeable guide. Great insight into all aspects of Faroe life. And the weather was good. And got photos of Puffin and Arctic Tern just before they disappear at the end of August

  10. David and Maureen Bryant –

    Amazing tour taking you to so many beautiful views. Our guide Elsa Maria was so generous with her time and knowledge. If you are thinking about a tour around the Faroe Islands I would highly recommend you choose Elsa Maria.

  11. Heather Weir –

    Perfect day out. Tour guide was informative and relaxed and the tour hit all the Faroe Islands highlights. Highly recommend

  12. SAMITHA KHAIYUM –

    The Faroe Islands tour offered a breathtaking and unique experience, showcasing stunning landscapes, rugged cliffs, vibrant grass-covered rooftops, and charming villages. All of us raved about the dramatic scenery, which was perfect for nature lovers and photographers. The local culture was rich, with delicious traditional cuisine, friendly locals, and intriguing history. The tour organized by Elsa Maria was wonderful, providing expert guidance, personalized service, and a seamless experience. Overall, it was a memorable destination for those seeking natural beauty and authentic experiences in a remote, picturesque setting.

  13. Mark Holmes –

    An AMAZING day out! This is an absolute must for first timers to the Faroes. Elsa Maria was SUPERB! She was knowledgeable, funny and caring. The scenery was stunning and itinerary was expertly planned. We saw everything we wanted and more with ample time at each place. Being a small group and van made it even more enjoyable with a great choice for lunch. Elsa also helped take photos and this is invaluable if you are travelling by yourself. It was so nice to be cared for by a local and also being shown her personal family history. This left me really connected with the Islands, its history and people

  14. Daniel Warnholtz –

    Outstanding tour with very knowledgeable guide, Jens and his sister. We truly enjoyed it, and we got to see a lot during the full day, which would have been difficult to do on your own. Coupled with the high knowledge, and not least important their engaging and clearly very committed way of introducing us to their native Faero islands. Cannot recommend enough as it clearly added to our full week tour of the islands.

  15. Agata –

    Elsa was an incredible guide—extremely generous with her time and kindness. She took us to beautiful must-see spots, sharing stories about the history and life on the islands along the way. It was a wonderful way to explore the Faroes for someone without a car (like myself), but it would also be a great introductory trip for anyone looking to scout out favorite places to return to later. Thank you, Elsa, for a beautiful day!

  16. Magdalena Ulanowicz –

    My review will be short and to the point: just book this trip, because it’s worth every penny and every minute. Elsa Maria, you’re incredible – thank you so much for a wonderful day full of scenic views, many stories and good humour

  17. Pedro Mateu –

    Great tour and great guide! Totally recommended!

  18. Jeremy Jensen –

    I wanted to take a moment to submit a review for a tour my wife and I enjoyed during our recent trip to the Faroe Islands. We were fortunate to be able to partake in the “See It All” tour with Elsa Maria as our guide on April 30. While I am a bit tardy in sharing my review, that should not take away from the magnificent job Elsa Maria did in showing us her beautiful country.

    I cannot rave enough about Elsa Maria and this tour. My wife was a little skeptical heading into it, but she has not stopped telling people about it since our return. There is absolutely no better way to see so much of the Faroe Islands in such a short timeline. Elsa Maria tirelessly guided us to so many locations. She shared so many interesting facts and stories. I was not bored for a single moment. She did a good job of helping everyone “break the ice” and get to know each other, which just added to the positive atmosphere of the tour experience. She is clearly a masterful guide and a lovely human being. I enjoyed her tour so much that I signed up to be notified for the next “closed for maintenance” season so I could perhaps return to your beautiful country. Her thoughtfulness of bringing along plenty of coffee, tea, snacks, blankets, jackets, etc shows that she has done this more than a few times. Her humor and knowledge also kept us going through the long day. I would do this tour again without hesitation. Thank you, Elsa Maria. You truly made our anniversary trip very special!

  19. Emma –

    A great day out even though the weather wasn’t always on our side! A good, quick intro to some absolutely stunning places on the Faroe Islands, a lot covered in a day. Elsa Maria is a passionate guide who cares about her country a lot, she gave us loads of great information and stories. We ate at a lovely restaurant for lunch as well, delicious food! I also left my hat on the bus and Elsa Maria kindly delivered it to me in Torshavn – very grateful!

  20. Sabrina Lee –

    Elsa was a wonderful tour guide! She has a wicked sense of humor and is really passionate about her work and Faroe Islands. I really loved the restaurant she brought us to, Fiskastykkio, and the funny pictures she helped us take. We got to see some amazing sights all in one day ☺️❤️

  21. Ana –

    An unbelievable trip—absolutely packed with impressions. If I ever come back that way again, I’ll be sure to get in touch. Thank you!!!

  22. Sandra Ortiz –

    This tour was wonderful; informative and interesting. Elsa is very knowledgeable and engaging with her guests. I highly recommend this tour.

  23. Helga Mjeldheim –

    Vi vil takke for en dag fylt av inntrykk som jeg tror vi vil bære med oss alltid. Vi satte stor pris på varmen, humøret og engasjementet hos dere guider og den personlige måten dere viste oss Færøyene på. Fin variasjon i aktiviteter og god formidling av kunnskap om ulike steder, skikker og historie. Denne dagen ble høydepunktet for oss på turen, og vi anbefaler dere gjerne til andre som vil dra til Færøyene

  24. Rosa –

    Thank you Elsa Maria for showing us and letting us get to know and experience the best pieces of Faroe Islands! The trip was very well organized and included surprises and hidden gems. Highly recommend this trip with Elsa Maria and her family! ❤️

  25. Yangmei –

    The tour guide was very enthusiastic and explained in detail. The trip was perfect and the restaurant we took for lunch was also delicious. It was a very enjoyable trip, thanks to the gentleman who guide us.

  26. Brigitta –

    I had such a fantastic day on the day trip I booked! From start to finish, everything was seamless – pick-up was right on time, the group was small, the car spotless, and the views were absolutely breathtaking.

    Our guides, Elsa Maria and Jens Petur, were incredible. They shared so much rich information about the Faroe Islands – from history and culture to daily life – and made it all feel so personal with their own stories and experiences. It genuinely felt like we were being welcomed into their community, not just visiting it.

    We had lunch in a charming little restaurant with lovely options, and even had a snack and tea/coffee served by Elsa Maria herself – such a thoughtful touch.

    Both guides were warm, knowledgeable, funny, and clearly passionate about what they do.

    I can’t recommend this tour enough.

    Wishing Elsa Maria and Jens Petur all the best – thank you for an unforgettable day!

  27. Gina –

    When deciding on a tour, choose a local tour guide. If you have a choice, choose Elsa Maria.

    It will make for a wonderful experience with a personal touch, local stories, beautiful scenery.

    Looking back you will not remember it as a tour but as a day out with lovely people who make you feel right at home.

  28. Steen Lessels –

    Jeg var på tur med Elsa Maria og vi mødtes også flere gange med Elsas bror som kørte en anden bus.
    Jeg blev hentet som aftalt og under hele turen, var det med smil og godt humør.
    Elsa var en sikker og rutineret bilist, der lige netop vidste, hvornår man skulle holde for andre og hvornår de burde holde. Samtidigt var det tydeligt at hun kendte sit land og var stolt af det. Jeg har kun positivt at sige om Elsa Maria og hun får 5 ud af 5 stjerner af mig.
    Jeg spiser ikke fisk og det var absolut ikke vellykket for mig at komme på fiskerestaurant.
    Det var et tilbud og ikke en del af turen, så det ændrer ikke på at Elsa Maria leverede til perfektion og derfor får 5 ud af 5 stjerner.
    Jeg vil til hver en tid, gerne på tur med Elsa Maria igen👍👍🥰😍
    Venlig hilsen Steen Lessels

  29. Trisha Crawley –

    Amazing day touring around the islands and villages with Elsa Maria! Elsa is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. Very full day with amazing sites. Some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve experienced. Elsa gives the tour a personal touch and helps you understand the history of the islands and the people. Thank you for an amazing day.

  30. Sophia Olsson –

    I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic tour we had with Else Maria.

    I can’t believe everything we got to see, everything we got to learn and everything we got to experience with her speed ride through Faroe Islands while she at the same time kept it very personal and inviting for us tourists. Couldn’t have been better! I would recommend her to anyone.

    And the restaurant where we stopped to eat, just as fantastic as everything else.

    Thank you again for a great tour!

  31. Gina –

    If you are considering a guided tour, this is the one for you.

    I am very picky when it comes to guided tours and will rather not join one, except if it is local and small or private.
    Els Maria is just that. She is a local and an excellent tour guide. Not only will she tell you where you are and what you are seeing, she will also share her stories with her guests, making the experience come alive.

    You can clearly see her passion for her birthplace and rightfully so. Also, very protective of the islands, which is a good lesson for all of us.

    She is an excellent hostess, obviously loving what she does ( one cannot fake genuine passion) and also takes an interest in her guests. She is curious. It is a small group making it feel more intimate, like you are on a trip with friends.

    All in all, a very pleasurable experience. Learned a lot.

    Thank you Elsa Maria

  32. Winnie Ho –

    A group of us joined the tour organised by Elsa Maria and Jens Petur who took us around some of the beautiful islands near to Tórshavn. Both Elsa Maria and Jens Petur are very friendly and attentive and the tour is very professionally organised. Along the way, we were offered treats which was a nice touch. We have no reservation in recommending the tour.

    During our stay in Faroe Islands, Tórshavn was mostly hidden in the mist, but there seems to be micro-climates in different parts of the islands, and the weather improved once we were outside of Tórshavn. So don’t let the weather put you off joining a tour.

  33. AnnMaree –

    Perfect day out fabulous lunch spot, Elsa was unbelievable
    Loved the whole day

  34. Nancy Gray –

    What a fabulous tour our “See it All” tour was! Elsa was an extraordinary guide – she was punctual, friendly, extremely well organized and a wonderful communicator. She gave us the deluxe treatment for sure. She shared stories, history, culture, and facts – at tour’s end I felt like I could say I had been well introduced to these fabulous and beautiful islands. She was an excellent and safe driver also. I have visited about 140 countries and had many guides – Elsa would be in the top five of guides I’ve had and this tour in the top 10. This company ranks right up there too for customer service – you couldn’t ask for better service from anyone. They are friendly,responsive, patient. You will not be disappointed in this tour or any other others they offer.

  35. Lysiane Mariani –

    This tour is the perfect introduction to the Faroe Islands. It should be done at the beginning of your stay so that you can see everything and decide where you’d like to go back to (although this remains a very difficult question, as all the places we visited were magnificent and worthy of a second visit!) Elsa guided the group efficiently and sympathetically, showing us lots of places that we wouldn’t have seen without her knowledge and giving us a wealth of information and anecdotes about the islands. And bonus, a few days later she sent us a souvenir film of the magnificent photos taken during our day. Many thanks for a wonderful day.

  36. Gry –

    Fantastisk tur. Kunnskapsrik og hyggelig guide. Både lærerikt og veldig gøy! Anbefalles til alle

  37. Martin Shipton –

    Together with my wife and daughter, I took a day-long minibus tour of three of the Faroe Islands led by Elsa Maria Bærentsen and her brother Jens Petur.
    We had high expectations, but nothing prepared us for the stunning landscapes, villages and sea vistas that we saw during the trip. They are truly awe-inspiring and breathtaking. The fish lunch in an unpretentious cafe was delicious too.
    What made it perhaps the best tour of its kind that we have ever experienced were the historical and cultural insights that Elsa Maria and Petur introduced us to in such an entertaining and sometimes humorous way as the day unfolded. Both have an intimate knowledge and understanding of their country – for the Faroe Islands are a country and not a far western outpost of Denmark – and of its traditions that have somehow been retained even while the prosperity of the islanders has grown.
    The Faroe Islands remain pristine and unspoilt – unlike so many other places that in a globalised world have lost their charm. Going on a tour with Elsa Maria and Petur adds greatly to the enjoyment of a visit. I can’t recommend doing so highly enough.

  38. Majed Aljneibi –

    The trip was amazing, we get to see natural gems and beautiful villages in the Faroe Islands, im looking forward to relive the experience with elsa again.
    Thank you very much for the amazing experience.
