Sitting alone in the mid-Atlantic, the Faroe Islands offer travellers a unique and untamed land to explore. With a maritime climate and changeable weather, chances are you’ll see the islands in many different lights during a week-long adventure. This holiday uses the capital city as a base from where you’ll venture off on day trips to all corners of the archipelago. It is perfect for the first-time visitor to the Faroe Islands and does not require car hire. We’ll take care of all the tour arrangements with knowledgeable local guides.
This particular trip acts almost like an escorted tour only that you will have 4 day trips out with a guide and joining guests for day trips. The rest of the time you will be travelling independently and based in at one hotel.

Your adventure begins with a visit to the saga-filled island of Sandoy and the historic village of Kirkjubøur. Travelling through the islands' newest subsea tunnel, you will drive to Sandoy, passing through picturesque villages while hearing fascinating saga stories along the way. Before heading back to Tórshavn, you will stop in Kirkjubøur to explore the nearly 900-year-old Roykstovan and Ólav's Church, built in AD 1111 and named after King Olav the Holy. This ancient church, the oldest in the Faroe Islands, is still in use today.
Your day begins with either a hotel pickup or meeting at the ferry port in Sørvágur. Today, you will experience the breathtaking islet of Tindhólmur, where puffins breed—just like on the island of Mykines. If you're lucky, you'll get a chance to see the puffins up close and capture some stunning photos. For the more adventurous, you will also have the opportunity to swim in a lake amidst some of the most incredible scenery the Faroe Islands have to offer.
On this day, you will explore the Northern Islands. Your journey will take you to the charming island of Borðoy, where you will visit Klaksvík, known as the heart of the fishing industry. Next, you will head to the remote village of Kunoy, located on the island of the same name, before proceeding to the picturesque village of Viðareiði, the northernmost village in the Faroe Islands. On your way back to Tórshavn, you will drive through the impressive subsea tunnel with a roundabout.
In the evening, a table will be reserved for you at Ruts Restaurant, located in Hotel Føroyar. Here, you will enjoy delicious dishes made from local and seasonal ingredients. The innovative menu will be complemented by the best view in town, overlooking Tórshavn, Nólsoy, and the fjord.
