My tour with Elsa Maria was the best part of my entire trip to the Faroe Islands! She was kind enough to reschedule my tour after my flight was delayed my one day, and I ended up having a private tour. Maria was full of helpful and interesting information about the sites we visited, and we had an excellent time talking as we hiked, visited different waterfalls and villages, and on our boat ride. If you only have time to do one tour in the Faroe Islands, this is the one that I would recommend!

Our day trip through the Faroe Islands with Maria was an extraordinary adventure that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we met in Tórshavn, Maria’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge set the tone for an unforgettable journey.
The drive to Vágar Island was filled with Maria’s captivating stories about Faroese history and culture. Our first stop at the Miðvágur village was breathtaking, with its natural harbor nestled between towering cliffs. Maria’s local insights helped us appreciate the unique way of life in this remote settlement.
The hike was a bit challenging (suggest wearing appropriate shoes for muddy landscapes during rainy weather) but rewarding. Maria was attentive and patient, ensuring everyone in our group could safely enjoy the experience. The panoramic views from the summit were simply awe-inspiring, showcasing the dramatic landscapes of multiple islands.
Lunch at a charming café offered a delicious taste of traditional Faroese cuisine. Maria’s recommendations were excellent!
Our day concluded with a boat tour, where we spotted puffins and other seabirds nesting on the cliffs.
This comprehensive tour, guided by Maria’s expertise and genuine passion for the Faroe Islands, provided an unparalleled insight into this remarkable archipelago. It’s an absolute must for anyone seeking to truly experience the natural wonders and rich culture of the Faroe Islands.

I recently had the privilege of experiencing a guided tour of the Faroe Islands led by Elsa, and it was nothing short of magical. If you’re considering this tour, prepare yourself for an unforgettable journey through some of the most stunning landscapes on earth.
Our day began in Tórshavn, where Elsa greeted us with warmth and enthusiasm. As we drove north along the mountain road and through the underwater tunnel to Vágar Island, Elsa shared fascinating insights and stories that made the trip even more engaging. Elsa was also very helpful and kind, she helped my mom through the hikes to ensure her safety.
The highlight of our hike was reaching the Trælanípa cliff. The optical illusion of the lake appearing to float above the ocean was astonishing, and the rugged beauty of the Bøsdalafossur waterfall and the Geituskorardrangur rock wall left me in awe. Elsa’s knowledge of the area really shone through as she pointed out unique features and shared intriguing local lore. Elsa was also very helpful and kind, she helped my mom through the hikes to ensure her safety for maximal enjoyment.
Lunch at a cozy local restaurant was a delightful experience. I loved tasting dishes made from fresh local ingredients—Elsa’s recommendations were spot-on, and the food was a delicious reflection of the region’s culinary heritage. We got lucky and had musicians play incredible music in the restaurants!
In the afternoon, we ventured to the remote and picturesque village of Gásadalur. The sight of Múlafossur Waterfall cascading down with the charming village in the backdrop was as iconic as it gets. Elsa’s tips on the best angles for photos ensured I got the perfect shot to remember this special moment. We even get to see Puffins!
The day concluded with a spectacular one-hour boat tour from Sørvágur. Seeing the Drangarnir sea-arch and the dramatic coastline from the water was a fitting end to an incredible day. Elsa’s expertise and friendly demeanor made the whole experience feel personalized and special.
This tour is a must-do for anyone wanting to explore the Faroe Islands’ natural beauty. Elsa’s guidance and the day’s itinerary made for an extraordinary adventure that I’ll cherish forever. Highly recommended!

This tour was the highlight of our Faroe Islands trip! We were not adequately prepared for the hike and Elsa Maria brought us hiking boots to ensure that we would be able to truly enjoy and experience the hike safely. She made sure we were always safe and comfortable during the trip. She even brought us jackets in case we were to get cold or if it were to rain! We were very well taken care of throughout and we were able to see so many sights, hiked to explore the fantastical floating lake, had a delicious lunch, took gorgeous photos, had a fun boat ride. If you can only do one tour in Faroe Islands, I would recommend doing this one!

We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a day trip to Vágar Island guided by Elsa Maria and it was an experience we will cherish for a long time. From start to finish, Maria ensured that we had an unforgettable and enriching adventure. It was raining when we started the trip. She changed the course for us to see things until the weather clears up a little. Later we took a hike to Lake Leitensvatn. Thanks to Maria to take me to Cliff again on my request to see the illusion when the clouds cleared. She had an extensive knowledge of the area and its history, it was evident as she shared fascinating stories and insights about the places we visited. It was clear that Maria is not only passionate about it but also deeply connected to the places we visited.
The itinerary was perfect as we wanted. It was perfect combination of hiking to cliff to see optical illusion Lake Leitisvatn, sightseeing on Vágar Island and thrilling boat ride to Drangarnir.
She managed our lunch on special request at the very last minute. It was very nice.
