Experience all the classic locations on Vágar, hence the name :) This tour is for those who want to maximise their experience on Vágar Island.

So you'll see, Sørvágsvatn, also known as Leitisvatn lake (Lake above the Ocean), you will hike to Trælanípa (the optical illusion spot), Bøsdalafossur (the biggest waterfall in the North Atlantic ocean).

You'll then go to the village of Bøur and see the beautiful traditional old church there, and walk between the cute old traditional turf houses where you sometimes see sheep eating grass on top of, and see the architecture and building styles.

In Bøur you'll go to the beach there overlooking Drangarnir (the island with the hole in the middle) and Tindhólm (the very narrow island til all the pointy fingers at the top).

Finally you'll head to Gásadalur and see the beautiful waterfall Múlafossur that you see on all the postcards. Here you'll see puffins nesting and other birds as well.

The tour is 4 hours and the price is calculated after that hour number. We have built this tour so that it is jam packed full with jaw-dropping sights. We cover as much seight-seeing as possible in these 4 hours.

Sometimes we need to drop a small part out of the hike, if people are too slow at hiking or need to take too many brakes, which we totally understand. Typically it's the waterfall Bøsdalafossur that we take out of the hike. This is very rare but it is a decision we sometimes need to take in order to keep the timetable and price.

You can do the Classic Tour whatever month of the year. The sights are always striking. You will meet the guide at the gas station Magn in the village of Miðvágur. 

Book this tour and you will go on this exciting adventure on the beautiful island of Vágar :) Check availability by choosing a date.

    The tour with Annika was extraordinary. We got not only Information about the landscape and the fantastic views. We got a lot of informations about Faeroe people, society and life on the Faeroe Islands today and in the old days.

  2. Christine Holmstedt

    One of the most wonderful day trips we have ever done. This is a must do while in Faroe.
    Amazing scenery. Our guideAnnika is a GEM. She was so talkative, telling us amazing stories, Faroe history and Faroe facts. She was so knowledgeable, friendly, sweet, bubbly and just a joy to be with all day. No better way to spend the day. The hike was fun and the views were incredible.
    A must do when you visit the Faroes.

    I definitely recommend this tour to everyone who wants to have some nice relaxing guided tour!
    It was one of the most amazing experiences on this island with our professional and friendly guide Jana. We could enjoy the tour more than we expected and she introduced us to many interesting things about Faroe island.
    And even the weather was getting very misty after the hiking tour of Bøsdalafossur, she managed to get us to see the spectacular scenery at Gásadalur. We appreciate her a lot for everything she’s done for us. I’m sure that you will enjoy the tour with the guide here like us or even more!

    Our tour guide Annika was amazing. She’s very accommodating and knowledgeable about the history of Faroe Islands. We truly enjoyed our day with her. Very flexible schedule. We covered a lot of places and she took us to some beautiful sites in the island of Vagar. She prepared a feast for us for lunch and have us taste some Faroese food. Will definitely recommend this tour to our family and friends.

    My time on the tour with Annika was excellent. She was very personable. She was interested in telling me about the history and culture of the Faroe Islands, as well as showing me the highlights of Vágar and mans other interesting places.
    I thoroughly enjoyed this time enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Faroe Islands and this tour was a highlight of my holidays.

    Annika is the best guiders I ever travelled with. She is professional and knowledgeable. When we visited different views, she told about the stories and we really enjoyed. During the tour, I felt like I learned lots of things and became the real Faroese. Really appreciated!
