Day 1
Arrival
On your first day, you will fly into Vagar Airport. A taxi cab driver greets you at the arrival hall and will take you from the only airport in the Faroe Islands to your hotel in the capital Tórshavn.
Enjoy the winter scene as you drive through the untouched landscape. You will drive along Lake Leitisvatn and you will get a glimpse of the rock formation Trøllkonufingur. After driving through an undersea tunnel and a couple of mountain tunnels, you will reach Tórshavn.
Once you arrive in Tórshavn, you can settle into your hotel and enjoy the city centre, shops, bars and restaurants. If you arrive in Tórshavn early, you can go for a soft hiking in the mountains nearby Tórshavn.
You will spend your night in Tórshavn. Prepare for a full day of sightseeing tomorrow.
Day 2
Streymoy Island, Fossá Waterfall & Eysturoy Island
Today, you will explore some of the most beautiful sights in the Faroe Islands. You will head out for a fully guided tour to remote villages and stunning landscapes including Saksun and Gjógv. You will be picked up at your hotel in the morning.
When heading north from Tórshavn to the beautiful attractions, you will stop at Norðradalsskarð. Here you will have the classic view of Norðradalur mountain pass and the island Koltur. A little bit further down the Oyggjarvegur road you will stop by the grass-roofed prison situated in the Mjørkadalur Valley. Mjørki means fog, hence the name Fog Valley. On a clear day you will see the prison and the remarkable view of the Kaldbaksfjørður fjord.
The village Saksun is set in otherworldly beautiful surroundings. Take a deep breath and feel the wind in your hair as you stand above a tidal lagoon with steep mountains in all directions. You will experience waterfalls on the mountain sides and small turf roofed houses overlooking this spectacular place.
After exploring the fantastic scenery in Saksun, you will continue to the next location, the famous Fossá Waterfall. This impressive attraction falls over two ledges before cascading down to the black volcanic rock. If you like to get really close to Foassá Waterfall then you can go for a stroll behind the waterfall. The water is so pure that you can drink it directly from the river.
Next up is the remote village Tjørnuvík. The village has an energy of its own. Tjørnuvík is tucked away in a majestic valley with a view of the North Atlantic Ocean. You will feel a deep serenity when standing in the middle of this village. The only sound you can hear is the waves on the sandy beach and the white surf along the shoreline. You will see the sea stacks Risin & Kellingin in the distance. The place is magic.
Finally, you will go see the dramatic gorge in Gjógv. Until now you have been on the island Streymoy. Now you will cross a short bridge and visit Eysturoy island. This unique village is drawn along the shore just beside a huge gorge. You will have the opportunity to take the steps down to the gorge and also walk along the 200 metre gorge and have a nice view of the majestic scenery and the small village.
Make sure to bring your camera for this day. You will stay in Tórshavn for the night.
Pickup at 09:00. Drop off at 15:30.
Day 3
Classic spots on Vagar island
On your third day in the Faroe Islands, your tour guide will let you explore Vagar island. This island holds some of the most incredible treasures in the Nordic archipelago.
You will be picked up at your hotel in the morning. Now you will head to the village Miðvágur and start a two hour hike to some of the most majestic attractions in the Faroe Islands.
You will hike along the largest lake in the Faroe Islands before you get to the Slave Cliff. This is the spot where you will see Lake Leitisvatn hovering over the ocean. Enjoy the power of nature and the joy of solitude.
As you stand on Trælanípa as this cliff is called in Faroese, you can see the small islands Koltur and Hestur when looking south. You can also spot your next attraction the jaw-dropping rock formation Bøsdalafossur Waterfall that flows into the ocean.
The hike from Trælanípa to the extraordinary waterfall Bøsdalafossur is short. Now you will walk to the edge of Lake Leitisvatn and stand by the untamed coast and enjoy the waterfall in full glory. Most travellers say that it is a humble experience to stand beside Bøsdalafossur and also experiencing the rock cliff Geituskorardrangur thrusting through the ocean. The view will most likely take your breath away and you will feel as if you have reached the edge of the world.
Now, you will hike back from where you started and your tour guide will take you for a drive to the turfed village Bøur. You will have the best view of Tindhólmur islet and see the sea stacks Drangarnir from the village.
The day will finish with chasing roaring waves and Múlafossur waterfall in the village Gásadalur. Sit down for a moment and simply take in the scenery and breathe the fresh air. Watch the rough sea for a while and the waterfall that empties into the ocean.
You will be back in the capital in the afternoon. Your night will be spent in Tórshavn.
Pickup at 09:00. Drop off at 15:30.
Day 4
Farewell to Faroe Islands
On your final day in the Faroe Islands, use your extra time to have one last meal in Tórshavn, sip a drink and go for a short walk in the city centre. You could go for a walk to the Skansin lighthouse at the Tórshavn seaside or enjoy the small boat marina at Vágsbotnur.
There are also some lovely shops if you want to bring some local souvenirs back home. Now, walk the short distance to your hotel. A taxi driver will greet you in the hotel's reception two hours prior to your flight departure. The driver will take you all the way to the airport at Vagar island.

The tour was absolutely amazing. Faroe Islands are rugged and very scenic / beautiful. The tour guides are very friendly, knowledgeable, informative and organized … they made our stay very memorable. Elsa Maria is an especially good guide, always going the “extra mile” to answer all questions and to provide small tastings of local delicacies like whale meat. Our only negative comment is the hotel (Hotel Djurhuus) … our room had slight smell (possibly from cigarette smoke) and it had insufficient lighting (especially in the bathroom). We would definitely recommend the tour package … bring proper clothes (such as waterproof shoes, pants, jacket and many layers).

The tour was unforgettable, my only regret was that I should have booked more days to create more memories of your spectacular country. I want to give my special thanks to Sveinur our guide, whose knowledge and expertise enhanced the experience.

A great way to see the main sights. I was anxious about driving with the tunnels and fog and funding my way to sights, so this was a great alternative. Johan was friendly and helpful. Faroe Islands were beautiful and there was ample time in the afternoons/evenings to relax. I was given the option of adding on a helicopter tour and would thoroughly recommend that. Hotel was fabulous as well. Nice breakfast and the restaurant was great.

The trip to the Faroe Islands was fantastic. The scenery was beautiful and the guides were great. I cannot recommend the Faroe Islands more for a vacation. I just wish my visit was longer.

My day tour with Johan was out – of – this – world amazing. I would highly recommend requesting for Johan’s tour. He was so genuine, funny, knowledgeable, and takes amazing pictures of you if you’re travelling solo (like I did). This trip was definitely a life changing experience. To learn about life on the Faroe Islands from a true Faroese local is truely humbling. The tour was well organised and Guide to Faroe Islands was fast to respond to any questions. I only have one negative comment which was about the hotel (Hotel Tórshavn). The room I was staying at didn’t have a sea view which I didn’t mind even though it was part of the package. I was tired after a full day exploring the islands and went straight to sleep. The hotel was a little run down (but still clean which was good!) and located in the heart of the city which made it easy to walk everywhere. Highly recommend anyone thinking of visiting during the winter months to hire a guide because the roads are dangerous and covered in back ice. Bring good water proof shoes and jacket. Johan handled everything (lunch, drinks and great conversation) and knew the roads by memory. I tend not to visit a country twice but I DEFINITELY will be visiting Faroe Islands again and will spend much longer than 4 days here. You can stay a week and still not experience everything!
