We had a wonderful time in Hvalba, thanks! It was our second visit to the Faroe Islands, but the first time visiting Suðuroy. Heima í Stovu was wonderful… such a nice family, and a really great home and room for us to stay in. The food was delicious, the hiking was great. They couldn’t have been nicer. We will definitely go back next time we come to the Faroe Islands.

I had a great time, despite or thanks to unexpected circumstances.
Before the trip, I got the information that the tour would be a bit shorter than usual because of a change in ferry schedule. Still, we had enough time for a short hike with a view of Ásmundarstakkur, to look around Hvalba and have a snack by the sea.
The unexpected circumstances occured at the end of the tour. Because the ferry was a different, smaller boat than usual, many locals – and me – were not allowed on board and had to wait until the next morning.
Of course I had not planned for an overnight, but my guide Poul was so friendly and helpful, he invited me into his home for the night. We had dinner with his sons and in the evening we met a local teacher who was so kind to show me around the church, an old farm house and the old school. To make sure I would not be left behind again, he brought me to the ferry very early in the morning and talked the crew into letting me on board so I would not have to wait outside.
It was quite an adventure and I definitely got great value for my money – more than I could have imagined when I booked the tour! I highly recommend this tour, they will make sure to take great care of you.
