See some of the most untouched settlements in the Faroe Islands in one day. This fully guided tour departs  from the capital Tórshavn from where you will head north to amazing sights.

In the remote village Tjørnuvík you will find several charming turf-roofed houses and you will have a great with towards Risin og Kellingin - the Giant & his Wife. Tjørnuvík is a great village to visit during the summer as well as in the winter. You can see the local people living their traditional farming life in the summer. Autumn and wintertime offers you hillsides often covered in snow and waves crash very dramatic against the sandy beach.

On this tour you will also visit the northernmost village in the Faroe Islands with stunning natural surroundings. The locals in Viðareiði love their village and you might do as well when you see Viðareiði with your own eyes. The population in Viðareiði is about 600 inhabitants. They have lived a traditional, unobtrusive, and isolated life for hundreds of years. Now the village is connected to the mainland with tunnels and roads. This is a must-see village in the Faroe Islands.

Klaksvík is the second largest town in the Faroe Islands and is very much influenced by the fishing culture. You will have a look at Klaksvík on this tour. From Klaksvík, you will have a great view towards the soaring Kunoyarnakki mountain on the nearby island Kunoy. Kunoyarnakki looks like a natural pyramide when seen from the town Klaksvík.

You will be picked up for this tour in the morning at your hotel in Tórshavn or at the Tórshavn Bus Terminal (Eystara Bryggja). At the end of the tour, you will be dropped off in Tórshavn again.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience some of the best sights in the Faroe Islands. Check availability by choosing a date.

    We had a very cozy tour through the most beautiful landscapes of the islands. Our guide had many good stories and we know so much more about the Faroe Islands now! Highly recommend this tour!

    The tour was well thought and the guide had a lot of knowledge about nerly every place in the Faroe Islands. I enjoyed the tour to the max and can highly recommend to make this tour.
    The lunch in Klaksvik was tasty and we had enought oppurtunities for breaks.

    A great as it turned out, private tour.

    I was surprised to learn I was the only one along but my guide Offur (I’ve undoubtedly spelled that wrong, sorry mate) didn’t let it dampen anything.

    We had an excellent day seeing all the highlights, Tjornuvik is a superb town; what a setting. Also lovely was Gjogv where I saw the cove that Offur & his choir perform at annually.

    In addition to the remarkable sights, my guide for the day was just as good; a very interesting guy.

    I’d highly recommend the tour for the visuals, and if you get the same guide you’re in for an extra special day
