Drangarnir Sea Arch Travel Guide
Drangarnir is Faroe Islands’ most famous rock formation. Located between Vágar Island and the visually dramatic Tindholmur Islet, this is a popular attraction to explore in the archipelago. The impressive 70 metres / 230 feet tall sea arch rises straight out of the North Atlantic Ocean.
This spectacular sea arch with an iconic hole in it is a key feature of the Faroe Islands. There are two sea stacks that together form Drangarnir. The most visually striking of these two rock formations is the sea arch.
Drangarnir translates directly to “The sea stacks”. The most-known and bigger rock formation is called Stóri Drangur or “Large sea stack”. The smaller one is called Lítli Drangur or “Small sea stack”.
The sea arch is surrounded merely by the pristine North Atlantic Ocean. The rugged basalt rock face is home to sea birds during the summer months from May to September.
Getting to Drangarnir
Join a Drangarnir Tour and get close to the jaw-dropping attraction. Alternatively, you can experience Drangarnir at a distance from the coastal village Bøur.
Travellers start out in the village Sørvágur next to the airport when heading to the attraction. On most days small boats can sail through the awe-inspiring arch itself.
The Drangarnir Hike
There is no public path to this attraction. The nearest road is 5 kilometres / 3.1 miles away from Drangarnir. Hence, your Drangarnir hike starts with a boat tour from the small marina in the village Sørvágur. Local crew will sail you on the Sørvágsfjørður Fjord for 10 minutes or so.
Then the boat crew will help you disembark the boat along the basalt coastline. Now you are only minutes of hiking away from the striking sea arch. You will find your self in the grassy terrain ready to take in views that will last a lifetime. Book the Drangarnir hike here which includes a comfortable boat tour.
Must-Do Activity
The sea arch itself has grass on top of it which adds to the awesomeness of the place. As you sail towards the attraction, you will see the incredible Tindhólmur islet in the background known for its spiky shape.
Drangarnir is one of the most popular attractions in the island group for good reasons. The rock formation’s iconic shape makes it appealing for wanderers and it does for sure look good on photos.
All tours to Drangarnir depart from the village Sørvágur on Vágar Island. Weather permitting, travellers are able to sail through the sea arch and even touch the basalt surface.
The boat tour to this unreal nature attraction is great for adults and children alike. Many travellers to the Faroe Islands say that these stones of Faroe are a must-do activity.
