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. Xiaopin Wang –

    My daughter and I joined this tour ten days ago and we absolutely enjoyed the views. Elsa was energetic and passionate. We met someone in our small group who did the same tour with her four years ago. I would do it a second time if I ever go back to Faroe Island.

  2. laiieng chio –

    Was one of my favourite tours i have ever joined!
    Maria was super helpful and knowledgeable. And i was impressed by her driving skills!
    Highly recommend this tour as a must do in Faroe!

  3. Kristen and Ben –

    This is a perfect tour for your first day in the Faroe Islands, especially if you have limited time to visit. Elsa Maria brought us to several of the top sights in 3 islands and provided stories and insight about life on the islands. She also provided tea and coffee and snacks and made plenty of stops for comfort breaks. She had each party rotate seats in the van so everyone got a turn riding up front with the sweeping views. We had 8 participants on our tour day and luckily everyone truly wanted to see it all and didn’t want to risk missing anything if we ran overtime. Elsa Maria took pictures throughout the day and organized them into a video link that she shared with us. It was a nice way to see where all we’d been. She also took pictures of us on our cameras and knew some cool angles for trick shots (especially by the waterfall). We had a delicious lunch at the cafe (Fiska stykkid) which is a place we’d read about and had wanted to visit anyway. We saw beautiful scenery and animals (sheep, puffins, Highland cattle, Faroese horses) and had a truly wonderful day. We highly recommend Elsa Maria’s tour!

  4. Lesley Inglis –

    I very much enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend. We saw a lot in a busy day, Elsa Maria fairly moves you about. She gives you a lot of local information which is very interesting. This tour serves as a great introduction to the islands.

  5. Sarah Craig –

    I had a fantastic time on this tour! Saw all the key sights and more. The guides went out of their way to accommodate requests and give as much information as possible. The ideal tour when you’re short on time!

  6. Betsy Sielaff –

    This tour was outstanding! Not only did I get to see a lot – Elsa was a wonderful story teller and a delight to be around. I truly enjoyed all the information she shared with us and loved lunch at a local cafe. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone who comes to the Faroe Islands!

  7. Martha Lindgren Marino –

    Our guides ElsaMaria and her brother JesPeter were warm, knowledgeable, energetic people whose family has lived in the Faroe Islands for many generations. And they know how to drive the narrow one-lane roads with hazards that would be scary for us – sheep and lambs darting across the road, oncoming cars with no place to pull over, steep cliffside drop-offs. Each stop was interesting and beautiful, and they had just the right balance of information, humor, and warmth. Highly recommended, particularly at the beginning of your visit as an indispensable orientation.

  8. Marielle –

    We had a memorable 9 hours minibus ride and saw wonderful views with ElsaMaria. She told us everything you’d like to know about the island and stopped at all the places a tourist would like to see and photograph. We had a stop at a restaurant with good food, but there was also snacks and coffee along the way. It’s much more convenient to take this tour compared to renting a car and trying to find all the best spots by yourself. And on top of that you get historical information and old tellings from a true local, you get to know the islands and their inhabitants in a kind of personal way.

  9. Amanda –

    Absolutely amazing tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much about Faroese history, culture while taking in the stunning natural environment. Our guide was so kind, welcoming and even provided us with generous snacks and coffee/tea. This tour was really a once in a lifetime experience and the value that we received we cannot put a price on. This tour is a must for any visitor to the Faroe Islands that wants an authentic experience from a local guide. A++

  10. Amy –

    Thank you Maria for being an excellent guide. I had so much fun joining this very informative tour and would highly recommend it!

  11. K –

    A perfect way to experience the Faroe Islands, especially if you only have limited time on the islands or are based in Torshavn. Elsa Maria was a fantastic guide with great knowledge and a good sense of humour.

  12. Nik –

    Thanks Elsa Maria for the wonderful tour! Pickup and drop off were on time and tour provided a excellent historical and cultural information about Faroe Islands along the way. Able to reach many beautiful and jaw dropping sites with stunning visual beauty! Elsa Maria is a true expert guide and thought through every detail. Saw puffins, sheep, cattle, waterfalls, villages, and ended tour with ability to get up and close with some beautiful Faroese horses that the kids loved! Thanks Elsa Maria for a wonderful day we will not forget!

  13. Olivia Cawthorn –

    Elsa Maria our guide, was simply the best! We chose her 7 hour Tour and we were fortunate to be blessed with good weather, a comfortable bus and her immense knowledge of The Faroes. Her childhood stories, local legends, Faroese history etc. were all delivered with humour and sensitivity .We could not have been more delighted with the tour and highly recommend it.

    Ted and Livvy.
    P.S We really appreciated her taking us to a marvellous cafe for lunch with a fascinating history to it.

  14. Frauke Knüppelholz –

    Thank you so much Elsa Maria for this amazing experience. You were a wonderful guide with lots of stories and fairy tales about these incredible islands.
    Everything was perfect organized and in time. Definetely more than I expected.
    I only can recommend this tour.

  15. Ali Hajian –

    I went on this Trip with my wife during the month of June. Elsa’s Hospitality and knowledge of the Faroe island made our tour a memorable one. Her family has been in the Faroe Islands for more than 10 centuries and has all the information and resources needed to make this tour happen. In the future , I will definitely recommend any of my relatives to this tour.

  16. Carmen Graciaa –

    This tour promised that you would “see it all” and it did not disappoint. Jens Petur shares his love and knowledge of the Faroe Islands with you as he drives you around 11 of the 18 Islands that make up the Faroes. We went through tunnels, visited small villages, saw beautiful waterfalls, all while being entertained with Jens Petur’s stories about this magical place. We were a group of eight and traveled. Comfortably in his van. Snacks and plenty of restroom stops were provided. For lunch, we were taken to a local restaurant that had the best seafood soup. It’s an all day trip, but we did not feel rushed and were brought back to our cruise ship right on time. For a fantastic overview of the Faroes, I can highly recommend this tour. You really do see it all and it is all fantastic!!

  17. Bertrand –

    I travel a lot all around the world for 50 years and this tour with Elsa is one of the best in my life.

    It was intense, dynamic…the best way to see a lot in a day.

    All the explanations were very interesting.

    I highly recommanded this tour with Elsa.

  18. Dan Calleja –

    Our tour was amazing! We were picked up on time and taken to the most amazing places in the Faroe Islands. Everything was well organized, and we were well taken care of. We highly recommend this tour to anybody going to the Faroe Islands!

  19. Eugene Mullins –

    An amazing guided tour with Jens Peturs
    Very knowledgeable and interesting talks and took us to the most amazing and beautiful of locations.
    100% recommended
    Thanks again
    Eugene

  20. Oumayma Koubaa –

    Well guess I can only confirm what has been already mentioned by the other reviewers !
    Guess few words aren’t enough but I can only say that Jens Peter is such an incredible guide ! you feel Faroe islands through his words, stories, anecdotes …
    Felt like a movie sitting watching the beautiful sceneries and listening to him.
    Every place visited was stunning and you get to learn a lot through the entire experience. Very caring and generous, reflecting the generosity of the faroese ! not only you get to see the islands but you get to feel the passion towards the culture! I enjoyed the entire experience through which you will use all your senses.
    I definitely recommend the tour with Jens Peter because you will get to see good sceneries and mostly will be treated as a special guest in Faroe islands !

    Thanks Jens for this beautiful experience, for sharing your enthusiasm and again for the tasty snacks and desserts !!!

  21. Rupak –

    This was my best tour of the Faroe Islands, you get to see all the highlights in just one day. Our guide Elsa Maria was amazing. She is fun, very knowledgeable and caring. I can highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Faroe Islands

  22. Brogan and Matt –

    Elsa Maria is a fantastic guide 🤗 What an amazing day we had!! We saw so many beautiful places and Elsa Maria shared so much local knowledge which was great ☺️ It would not be the same trying to do this trip on your own. The reviews were right – Elsa Maria does go above and beyond and does a wonderful job. Thank you so much for such a great experience. The places were beautiful, animals cute, guide fantastic and lunch was very nice 👌We are so glad we booked this trip ☺️ Thank you so much again ☺️ 🇫🇴💕

  23. Wilson CHUNG –

    I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful experience Elsa provided during our tour of the Faroe Islands. Her attention to detail, cheerful personality, and engaging storytelling made the trip truly memorable. I appreciated how she shared her knowledge about the local culture and history, and her enthusiasm was infectious. Thank you for making our adventure so enjoyable!

  24. Francesco Pernice –

    Beautiful experience, very exciting, breathtaking views, Elsa was a very good and professional guide, excellent food, I will definitely come back to finish visiting the rest of the islands.

  25. Marianne –

    Fantastic tour with a great guide!
    Thank you Elsa Maria for this wonderful experience!

  26. Cindy –

    🌍✨ Highly recommend the one-day tour in the Faroe Islands!
    It was my first time meeting such a passionate and caring guide 💛
    Huge thanks to Elsa Maria for not only showing us breathtaking views 🏞️ but also for filming and editing a beautiful short video 🎥 to capture our journey.
    Unforgettable experience — I’ll treasure it forever! 🙏🌈

  27. Mike –

    What an amazing day. We saw all the best bits up close. Our guide was excellent, his sharing of his lifestyle really gave a great insight to local way of life. Which is way different to mine!
    One suggestion though, a shopping stop so souvenirs could be gathered please.
    Us cruise ship participants left our ship as soon as the gangplank dropped and we got back 10 minutes before curfew, hence no other chance to visit the shops.

  28. Carl Baker –

    A truly fantastic experience. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Extremely experienced guide who brought the the place alive.
    Would give it six stars if I could.

  29. 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

  30. 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.

  31. 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.

  32. Frank Boice –

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

  33. 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.

  34. Jordan Williams –

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

  35. 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.

  36. 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!

  37. 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.

  38. 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.

  39. 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!

  40. 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.

  41. 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.

  42. 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.

  43. 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
