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.

I wholeheartedly recommend Maria as an exceptional tour guide. I had the pleasure of experiencing her guided tour and was thoroughly impressed by her knowledge, professionalism, and enthusiasm.
She did not forget to be humorous during the detailed guidance and always cared for everyone’s feelings. During the journey, she would bring out hot coffee, tea, and snacks from time to time to warm everyone’s hearts. She is a very professional and approachable tour guide.

A warm thank you dear Elsa Maria for the way in which you showed us part of life on the Faroe Islands through this tour.
What a beautiful, powerful nature with so much different photo motifs around every corner! Enough in one day to fill an entire album. I enjoyed everything about this tour. You have given us so much information about life in the Faroe Islands, past and present. Your stories and personal experiences have also touched me very much.
So nice that there was also time for a delicious lunch and the faroish snacks you brought with you. Your love and connection with nature for the Faroe Islands made it an unforgettable day!
It was so special for me that we received a gift from you after returning home: an email with a link to the photos you took and a map with the route for the day. I’ve never experienced that before.
I highly recommend taking this tour with you, Elsa Maria!

This was one of the best tours we had in the Faroe Islands. Elsa Maria was a wealth of information and answered all of our questions with great detail. There were so many highlights that it’s almost impossible to pick one thing that was my favorite. I enjoyed everything about this tour. Although it was a full 7 hour tour, we had enough breaks throughout the day and I was able to photograph all the wonderful seascapes and glimpses of nature that the Faroe Islands had to offer. It’s literally a different scene around every corner…it took my breath away over and over again. I can’t even tell you how many times I gasped from the sheer jaw-dropping beauty. The Faroe Islands are magically incredible and Elsa Maria made sure we saw all the sights, people and tasted the food that make it so special. When I returned home, I also received an email from Elsa Maria of all the pictures she took during the tour, plus an interactive road map of all the places we visited!! I was not only surprised, but impressed by this….as I’ve never received anything with such attention to detail from any other tour I’ve taken while traveling. That was a super nice touch and end to my vacation!
I highly recommend taking this tour with Elsa Maria!!!

This tour was the highlight of my visit to the Faroe Islands. Elsa Maria is a gracious and knowledgeable guide. Her stories and observations made the day both entertaining and enlightening. I had read several books about the Faroes before I arrived but learned more in the first hour of the tour than I had from any of them! If you are visiting the islands, this tour is essential. Great scenery and great company!

I can’t be more appreciative and happy to have booked for Elsa Maria’s tour. Although I had complications arriving to Faroe Islands due to a ticketing issue with the airline I thank you for sending me Elsa’s direct email. I was unable to arrive the day of my scheduled tour, yet she was kind enough to offer the tour for me on the following day. This speaks so highly about her professionalism, kindness, and generosity. My experience through all the beautiful places and hidden gems of this tour make me want to come back and continue exploring more of your gorgeous country. Elsa’s knowledge and experience provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the history and the way faroese people live. She goes the extra mile to provide the best customer service. I am so thankful for having Elsa as my guide through all the mesmerizing and stunning landscapes that Faroe Islands offers and I look forward to book one of her tours in the future.

We hardly ever go on guided tours, preferring to travel independently, however, this trip may change our minds. Elsa-Maria was fantastic as a guide and without feeling rushed we covered the high points and a huge amount of area across the Faroe Islands – way more than we ever could have achieved by ourselves. Not only that, but Elsa-Maria chatted to our group of five, giving us information and great local anecdotes about each of the places we visited, including areas we passed through. The restaurant she took us for lunch was wonderful and again. One that required local knowledge. She was a delight to be with!

It was actually a wonderful day, I appreciated quite a lot this experience. I was very impressed by the sightseeings, the wild Nature and of course by Elsa Maria ‘s interesting explanations all day long. We learnt a lot about Faroe’s Islands.
Moreover we were lucky with the weather and made several stops outside on good spots and also for a convivial and tasty lunch break !
For sure, I do recommend clearly this nice tour ! Once again, many thanks Elsa Maria for this “discovery” phase !

Langt om længe fik jeg booket min tur til færørene med en veninde. Færørene har længe været på min ønskeliste over steder jeg ville se og steder hvor jeg ville vandre. Jeg bookede turen med Elsa Maria og fra første sekund hun hentede os på hotellet var der en særlig og yderst behagelig stemning i den lille shuttlebus. Elsa Maria formåede at gøre turen spændende fra start til slut, med historier og anekdoter fra de smukke smukke og golde øer. Hun var opmærksom på folks behov for enten lidt mere tid ved seværdighederne eller mindre. Vi føler virkelig vi fik value for money og mere til. Vi smagte færøsk delikatesse og snaps, vi prøvede en lokal restaurant hvor jeg fik verdens bedste varme kakao og et stykke virkelig fantastisk kage. Jeg skal tilbage til øerne i maj og jeg skal helt sikkert booke turen med Elsa Maria og KUN Elsa Maria til min mor og mine søskende.
