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. Jose –

    Very nice tour and great guide! We did see many of the highligths and best of all our guide gave us much info about history and the way of living at Faroe Islands. Definitely recommend this tour

  2. Val –

    We really enjoyed our trip around the Faroes . We covered a lot of ground , saw many beautiful landscapes and visited traditional coastal villages and farms . Elsa Marie was an engaging host and gave us a running commentary on the history, culture , politics and geography of these spectacular islands.

  3. Lynne Mort –

    Despite the weather this turned out to be an amazing day. A great way to see some of the highlights of the Faroe Islands. I was picked up from my hotel and shared my day with some lovely people from around the world. Elsa Maria our driver and tour guide was very generous and spoke of the history of the island through facts and family stories bringing alive the rich past of these beautiful islands. She went over and above what she needed to do and I much appreciated her knowledge and humour.

  4. Frank Boice –

    Elsa Maria did a magnificent tour. This was my second tour with her. What a fun way to learn about the Faroes.

  5. Adrian –

    Great tour with Elsa. She cares deeply about her home and community and has a real passion for showing people around the Faroe Islands. You don’t just see the incredible scenery and wildlife, she gives you the context and history around the people that have lived alongside it. Highly recommend this tour.

  6. Jordan Williams –

    Elsa Was An Incredible Guide. Would Highly Recommend For First Time Visitors To The Faroe Islands!

  7. Celina Stewart –

    I can definitely see why this is billed as the “see everything” tour (although I do recommend anyone looking to truly “see everything” also get to the Northern Isles, if possible!). This trip packed so much into 7 hours – from fairytale landscapes and waterfalls to the “fog valley” to incredible cultural history at beautiful ~300+ year old farms and churches. Elsa Maria was an incredible guide – so knowledgeable, so willing to share her stories and experiences, and pointed out several places where her own family had lived and worked across our itinerary. She was also very knowledgeable about the floral / fauna. She made sure everyone had water, tea / coffee / had extra sweaters for folks in the group who hadn’t dressed warmly enough, etc. Extremely thoughtful and caring guide and I wish I had more time in the Faroes to explore some of the sights we visited in more depth.

  8. Andrea Pohl –

    Thanks for a lovely day at Faroer! I’ m so glad , I booked the tour with Elsa.
    You made this day for me unforgettable.
    A very special experience with a very special guide ! She was wonderful and helpful to everyone. She made me feel very welcome and told us a lot of the Faroe Islands and provided us with coffee and sweets. And the rhubarb cake with sourcreme- I love it❣️
    Thank you, Elsa for the great job!

  9. Sarah –

    I had a really wonderful day with Elsa Maria. It was such a fantastic tour, we saw so much and the stories just made it all more interesting.
    I loved hearing about the islands from such a personal perspective and the tea break was very welcome.
    Getting the route and pictures afterwards was lovely.
    Thanks again and I look forward to coming back to the Faroes soon.

  10. Jeff Chase –

    Simply outstanding – these are top notch tour guides with centuries of family history to share to boot – we were absolutely thrilled by the drive and stops and vistas and views of this super special spot on this earth. We highly recommend using Elsamaria and Peter’s tour. We were able to dodge the cruise ship buses and zip around the island, catching highlights like the islands, puffins, sheep, cattle, waterfalls, and more. Thanks Elsamaria and Peter for a wonderful day.

  11. Ines Chen –

    I had a really good time at the Tour with Elsa Maria, which she is fun, caring and attentive. We had enjoyed her tour so much we had arranged another tour next day with her brother Jan Peter, who is also a wonderful tour guide and gave us a lot of information about Faroe, the place we had visited and some interesting spots along the way. Would highly recommend the tour!

  12. Jingying Lin –

    100% recommend! Look no further; just book this tour! Elsa is very knowledgeable about the local history and culture, and she will take you out even though you are the only participant of the tour or the weather is not nice. The itinerary is well structured and covers a couple of classic tourist spots that are not easily accessible with buses (still feasible to some extent but is very time consuming), and the restaurant we stopped by is very authentic and full of historic vibe. I really enjoy my time during this tour, whether it’s the scenery itself or my talk with Elsa. In short, if you want to explore these small villages as much as possible with limited time, this tour will be the right choice for you.

  13. Martin –

    Fantastic Tour with fantastic guide. Thanks much Elsa. The weather is what it is, if you want a sunbath go elsewhere…; tour could be longer than planned… don’t be in a rush and just enjoy it.

  14. Phil Wheatley –

    Wonderful!
    Exceeded all of my expectations. Pick up and drop off perfect.
    Tour detailed, interesting and very enjoyable.
    We were able to reach areas impossible to see without a car.
    100%recommend. Many thanks Maria.

  15. Alberto Ramirez –

    Thanks Jan Peter and Elsa Maria. We had a wonderful time in this tour. Fully recommended. We got to know a lot about Faroe Island. And we felt so welcomed, you were always concerned about every detail. You even lent me a waterproof jacket when it began to rain. We learned a lot with all the information you gave us all through the tour. Thanks again
