Outstanding 7 Hour "See It All" Faroe Islands Tour
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.

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!!!

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

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! ❤️

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.

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!

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.

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

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.
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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
