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.

Die siebenstündige Tour war trotz mittelprächtigem Wetter großartig! Fantastische Landschaft, alles perfekt organisiert und ein toller einheimischer Guide, der sein fundiertes Wissen über die Färöer Inseln sehr kurzweilig mit uns teilte. Sehr empfehlenswerter Ausflug für alle, die die Inseln das erste Mal besuchen!

An incredible day! I left the tour with about 1000 photos, and an incredible understanding of everything Faroe Islands! Elsa Maria was an amazing tour guide. Had tea, coffee, extra jackets, everything all accommodated for! And the cafe stop for lunch was beautiful.

Elsa Maria is an absolutely fantastic tour guide. There were just three of us on the tour as its low season but this only added to the experience and it felt like we all got to know each other. We saw countless beautiful sights and Elsa told us so much about Faroese history and culture. She told us stories about her own family and we gained even more admiration for the strength and resilience of the Faroese people. Having a Faroese guide like Elsa feels essential for this kind of experience. She’s rightfully proud of her heritage and extremely knowledgeable about all three islands we visited (and beyond!)
Her enthusiasm and love for the Faroes are infectious. I’ve dreamed of visiting the Faroes since I was 18 and got to celebrate my 26th birthday here. A true dream come true and Elsa’s tour was a clear highlight of our trip. You couldn’t do this tour yourself with a car and map- you need someone as passionate and knowledgeable as Elsa or you’d miss so much.
We made loads of little stops to see remarkable sights and small villages. The stories Elsa had to tell about these tiny villages- often with populations of under 20 people- were incredible. We really felt like we got to experience Faroese culture. As a historian, I especially loved learning so much about the history of this amazing cluster of islands and the ‘microhistory’ of the small communities we stopped at or passed through.
Elsa also took pictures when we stopped and sent us an email with her pictures- much better than ours (she knows what she’s doing to get the best angles) The weather was quite rough, but we expected this on the Faroes and being from South-West England (right next to Wales), we’re used to the phrase ‘If you don’t like the weather, just wait five minutes’. Nonetheless, Elsa also sent us pictures from a tour she conducted on a sunny, clear day- a lovely addition and great to see what the Faroes look like in full summer bloom.
Additionally, Elsa took pictures of us in front of beauty spots and they turned out amazing!
We also had plenty of opportunities to stop for toilet breaks and a stop for lunch. We didn’t feel rushed at all as I have on many tours.
Elsa truly went above and beyond. I’ve travelled quite widely and been on many guided excursions- Elsa is my favourite tour guide of all time. This is an absolute must-do trip and I couldn’t recommend it more. Thanks so much Elsa 🙂 We already can’t wait to return.

The “See it All” tour lived up to its name! Elsa Maria was a master tour guide, show us many interesting and beautiful spots the Faroes have to offer. We took the tour on a VERY rainy and windy day, but Elsa Maria’s indomitable spirit and sense of humor ensured that we all had fun. She taught us so much about the history and culture of the islands, and our lunch together was a lovely meal. Elsa Maria wasn’t just content with abiding by a “normal” tour playbook, she included some extra touches that made the tour special. Thank you, Elsa Maria!

Elsa was informative about the Faroe islands and genuinely cared about us along the way! The day was idyllic. At times the sky turned gray and the wind picked up and a misty rain dropped down out of the cavernous sky. We were coddled into a cafe for some warm nourishment and time stood still. We will remember this day forever!!

The “See It All” tour in the Faroe Islands was an amazing experience. Elsa Maria is a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. We visited all the famous and breathtaking spots, enjoyed the stunning nature, and had a great meal at a wonderful local restaurant. The tour was well-paced, with time to relax over coffee and tea while taking in the scenery. I highly recommend this tour, especially early in your stay, as it gives a great overview of the islands and helps you plan the rest of your trip. Elsa Maria also provides great advice for making the most of your time in the Faroes.

Helt fantastisk, på trods af at det ikke den sædvanlige turistsæson.
Færøerne har den smukkeste natur uanset vejr og Elsa Maria var en skøn tourguide, som fortalte en masse om landet, stederne og kulturen undervejs.
En rigtig dejlig tur!

Amazing tour! You get to see a lot of places, all the places you’ve heard and read about! Elsa Maria is a great guide, the service is perfect. And it’s very unique to hear all of her stories. You really get an insight into the Faroese culture and the development it has undergone in recent years! Would 100% recommend!🤩

I am glad that I took this day trip on the next morning that I arrived on Faroe Islands on 20 Nov. My advice is to schedule as early as possible such day trips so you get to have a feel of the place.
Elsa Maria was fantastic as our tour guide of the day and the pace was just nice. We get to relax and take in the beautiful sights. She is also very thoughtful in providing extra warm clothing in the car just in case ours is not enough to shield from the cold weather. She is informative, authentic and fun throughout. When weather turns for the worse after lunch, Elsa took a decisive decision to cut short our trip so as to bring us back safely to our hotel. Safety is very important when we travel and you can really depend on Elsa and the local people who knows their weather best! What a memorable day trip in Faroe Islands!

Last November, we had the chance to visit the Faroe , we took this amazing tour with Peter ,he picked up us on time and all the tour he shared not only useful information about the places we visited but interesting facts as well. We saw beautiful landscapes and even high-land cows ,all the experience was incredible, highly recommended . Peter is a great guide, he also gave us a couple of recommendations for our next stop and both were perfect. Definitely one of the best guides we’ve had. Thanks Peter

Muy buen tour
La guía, Elsa María, fue puntual en la recogida, muy amable y divertida. Nos contó varias historias de las islas, sucesos históricos y que actividades pueden hacerse en otras épocas del año según las condiciones climáticas.
Además nos ayudó a tomar fotos y toma fotos muy buenas.
También nos dio dulces durante el viaje y pudimos probar comida y bebidas típicas.
Pudimos ver varias islas, villas, granjas, iglesias, cascadas, puentes, túneles, ovejas y el océano.
Tour muy recomendable

Amazing! Elsa-Marie is an outstanding guide, gave us so many fun facts about your beautiful lands. She went over and above helping with taking pictures and making sure we were enjoying the trip. The tour itself is quite well planned and checks off many must -see sights. Despite being wet and foggy we enjoyed the trip

We had a great day with amazing impressions of Faroe Islands. Elsa Maria was providing lots of information and confidence altough the weather and street conditions was not on our side in the afternoon.
We could really relax and enjoy the trip.

The tour was amazing, covering a large area and very different landscapes and particularities of the island. Now that I have left Faroe Islands i realize the profound impact my visit and this tour had on my well being, freedom of discoveries, curiosity to explore new aspects of life. Elsa Maria, the tour guide , was the perfect person to accompany me in this tour, very pleasant, generous, well informed, very nuanced in pointing out unique aspects of the island and life style. She was very keen in discussing details of tradition, history, psychology, all specific and particular for Faroese people. Thank you Elsa Maria for this wonderful journey !🩷

12th Oct 2024 was a special day to me, it was the day I was officially graduating with my MBA. Instead of travelling back to Kenya, I decided to graduate in absentia and experience the Faroe Islands instead. It just so happens that it was the same day I got to join your ‘7 hour see it all’ tour.
I have travelled the world and been with many tour guides but Jens outshines them all. First thing I noticed on the morning of the trip was that he had already mastered our names and referred to each of us by name effortlessly throughout the trip. This is no easy feat and I found that remarkable. He was definitely very knowledgeable and took time to explain the history of every location we passed by, giving a short hilarious folktale about the people there, making the experience very immersive, memorable and enjoyable. I liked that he also guided me on locations where I could pilot my drone as the droning policies have become quite strict in the Faroes. To top it off, my favourite moment was when he let us taste Faroese specialities.
Thank you to Jens and the rest of the team for making my trip to the Faroe Islands extremely memorable and special. Definitely worth every dime.

The tour was awesome and the guide Elsa Maria was the best. I really enjoyed the tour, would recomend!
Tämä on sinulle, jos haluat nähdä paljon lyhyessä ajassa. Nouto tapahtuu omalta hotellilta, auto oli siisti ja tilava. Opas Elsa Maria kertoo mielenkiintoisia tarinoita ja faktoja alueista. Kierroksen aikana voi esittää toiveita, että mitä erityisesti haluat nähdä. Ruokailu tapahtuu omakustanteisesti hienossa perinnekahvilassa. Saat jälkikäteen linkin oppaan ottamista kuvista. Erinomainen paketti, voin suositella!

The tour was an amazing experience showcasing the beauty of the islands. Jens Peter was the perfect tour guide and provided us with history and stories of island life which added to the stunning scenery. The day went by so quickly as you are constantly surrounded by epic and raw beauty. Highly recommend the 7 hour tour and I’m looking forward to the next visit and tour.
Rachel –
Absolutely outstanding tour with Elsa Maria! This was my first ever visit to the Faroe Islands and this tour showed me some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen while teaching me so, so much. The group we toured with was super friendly, and Elsa Maria was very informative and entertaining. Should I return (I’m sure I will!) I’ll be sure to book another tour to see even more of what the islands have to offer 💚
Elina&Vitaliy –
The tour is incredible! It was a great opportunity to know so many new things about islands from the very local Faroese. Elsa Maria took us from the hotel and from that second the adventure, exciting views and history of the Faroe captured us for adorable 7 hours! Thanks a lot for this guided tour, we were happy to take it and couldn’t stop saying WOW all the time. 💛✨
