The Faroe Islands are made up by 18 islands each and one with unique nature features. From uneven coastlines, towering cliffs, and sky-high rock formation. These key features of the cluster of islands are all seen in the movie. This has undoubtedly attracted the film crew to visit and film.

Tindhólmur Islet in the Faroe Islands as Peter Pan Location

Scenes in the Faroe Islands were the first to be filmed for the new movie. This was amid Covid-19 in August 2020. The pandemic affected productions all over the world. Nevertheless, the Covid-19 guidelines in Faroe Islands allowed travellers to visit.

Director David Lowery stayed in the seaside village Sørvágur on Vágar Island together with a small production team from Disney and some locals. They were there for 10 days planning and filming beautiful parts of the Faroe Islands. The local film director Gudmund Helmsdal was production assistant and part of the Peter Pan & Wendy filming crew when in the Faroe Islands.

One location and brilliantly featured in the movie is the visual impressive Tindhólmur Islet. The filming crew had access to the uninhabited attraction when filming in the Faroe Islands.

Trælanípa

Jolly Roger is floating above the sea in the scene with Trælanípa. And floating above the sea is just what you get to experience when visiting this attraction.

Travellers go to the Trælanípa Cliff for its optical illusion besides impressive coastal views. When you stand on this cliff, you will see Lake Leitisvatn as if it floats above the ocean.

This attraction comes with beautiful views. Jolly Roger sails next to this cliff when it is sprinkled with fairy dust by Tinker Bell.

Have a look at the Trælanípa video above. It shows how the cliff looks when travellers visit the attraction with no animated floating ship but a floating lake.

Risin & Kellingin

Off the coast of Eysturoy Island lie two sea stacks. These rock formations are named Risin & Kellingin. These impressive rock formations translate directly to “The Giant & the Witch”.

When watching the movie, you will see Jolly Roger sailing next to the sea stacks. It takes only 10 minutes to sail to this attraction from the village Eiði.

Mykines Island

Mykines Island is known for its huge puffin colony as well as its unspoiled nature. The island is seen in the movie with Peter Pan and friends flying towards it.
