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.

Guide was kind, friendly and very knowledgeable about the country. Learnt a lot of interesting facts about the culture, history and geology of the islands during the drives between sites.
In addition to the main attractions of the islands, you also get to see unique locations that you wouldn’t necessarily know about when travelling alone.
I strongly recommend this tour for people who are staying for a week or less as it gives you a good picture of the whole country.

If you are on the Faroe Islands for a limited amount of time I would highly recommend this trip. Elsa Maria is an authentic, warm-hearted and knowledgeable guide who will make your day, either you travel alone or with company.
She was solution oriented when I made a mistake booking the tour and picked me up at the airport upon arrival. We then spent the rest of the day exploring the magic scenery of the Faroe Islands while she was sharing history and personal experiences.
As the weather conditions where somewhat challenging we ended up doing a more thorough sightseeing of Tórshavn, which was very helpful when I explored the city the next days. Elsa Maria also made sure I had a nice restaurant to have dinner at though all restaurants seemed fully booked due to Valentine’s Day.
I would chose her as my tour guide any day! Highly recommended!

I have traveled around the world and it is one of the best. Especially the guide of Elsa Maria was wonderful. I learned something interesting about the history and culture of Faroe Island and the relationship between people and sheep. I was able to see a wonderful view that I had never seen before. Blessed with the weather, I was able to enjoy Winter Fellows Island. Recommended for all visitors to Faroe Island. This time I come to see Puffins.

Elsa Maria was amazing! I can’t believe how much beauty we saw in one day. I am just so in awe of this place and she made the experience even more fulfilling. I’m hoping to come back this summer and would love to book with her again!

Elsa Maria was a very kind Tour Guide for us. We were just two people that day and had an amazing trip. We were involved in the trip and were able to say where we want to stay and how long. I totally enjoyed the trip and would clearly recommend it! We also had some nice hikes in between and she answered every question patiently. The tour was in a comfortable car and the coffee breaks in between were perfect. Thank you!

I had a very personalized and pleasant tour. Since I happened to be the only one in the tour that day and we happened to have some time over, Elsa Maria drove me to a select few locations not listed on the tour.
The guide is pleasant to talk to, and really knows the locations, she also have me restaurant recommendations.

We were a group of Swedes and one Norwegian deciding to go on a hike and ending the day with a boat trip with Guide to Faroe Islands, as we were having a work-visit on the Faroe Islands September 15th, 2019. As most Nordic people have been out hiking before, we met properly dressed, warm clothes, light backpacks with that little extra one tends to need on a trip, a sweater, chocolate, water, nuts, tissue paper and a camera. Everything came in handy, not to mention the camera. A lovely guide took us along paths with views – making sure we all made regular pauses to catch or breath from walking – or just to be able to take in the unique scenery. We were also served delicious lunch-packs on route and a small taste of local liquor. As the weather became increasingly more windy, the boat-trip was cancelled, but our innovative guide put us all in her van and brought us on a memorable car trip, passing scenery, villages, beaches, small- industrial projects and cultural centre points, houses, – all accompanied by a colourful and personal story from the guide. As we all joined in singalong the last mile back, it was an expression of rare well-being and joy. A breathtaking trip, the scenery-the atmosphere- the stories- and the guide!

A very special experience with a very special guide ! She was perfect and showed me the most enjoyable beer an snacks, coffee and Faroer specialities!

Thanks for the great job!

We have all but Good words for our Faroe Islands day tour!, It wouldn’t have been possible for us to experience first hand the beauty of some of the most scenic destinations of the Faroe Islands if it hadn’t been because of our amazing tour guide. We really enjoyed every minute we had with her. Thanks to her for agreeing to have our tour a day earlier than what was previously booked. Our tour guide made sure we visited the most scenic parts of the Faroe Islands in a span of just 8 hours!, In those 8 amazing hours while driving and hiking, she told us about Faroe Islands´ history, culture, religion, food, etc. We really are so amazed and dazed as well in visiting the top scenic spots of the Faroe Islands. We highly recommend this tour for group of friends and family to experience especially if you have a limited time in the Faroe Islands just like us.
