Jump aboard this amazing tour to the stunning village Saksun and unspoiled settlements on Eysturoy island. This full day tour will let you see some of the popular sights on Eysturoy Island as well as the must-see attraction Saksun.

Once you are picked up in Tórshavn, you will head out on an amazing sightseeing tour starting with a spectacular mountain route Oyggjarvegurin. Along this epic road, you will experience the Norðradalsskarð mountain pass from where you can see the remote islands of Koltur and Hestur. You will stop here as this location looks great on photos. There are numerous photo stops on the way.

A little further down the road, you will experience the Mjørkadalur Prison with a stunning view of the surrounding landscape. The prison has a beautiful grass roof.

Next up is the village Kollafjørður. This village stretches over 10 kilometres which makes it the longes village in the Faroe Islands.

The village Saksun lies at the bottom of what was once an inlet. Here you will find the old farm Dúvugarður and the grass roofed Saksun church. You will also see the village of Hvalvík and oldest wooden church in the Faroe Islands before you head to Eysturoy Island for great sightseeing spots.

The tour continues over the bridge that connects Streymoy Island and Eysturoy Island. After crossing, you will drive past a few small villages on your way to Eiði. Here you will see the legendary football field right next to the ocean. Just outside the village, you will have a stunning view of the sea-stacks Risin & Kellingin.

You will now reach Gjógv, then drive by Funningur before entering the villages Elduvík and then Oyndarfjørður. All attractions have their own charm and beautiful views.

Now, what are you waiting for? This is your chance to explore Saksun and the best of Eysturoy Island. Check availability by choosing a date.

    C’était vraiment un tour incroyable, je recommande à 100%. Les paysages et villages sont magnifiques et j’étais toute seule sur ce tour donc c’était en quelque sorte un tour privé. Mention speciale pour mon guide car il était super, gentil, bienveillant et passionnant ! Merci Merci pour cette journée et pour son aide car il est allé au delà de son rôle de guide pour m’aider en plus du tour. Merci infiniment pour cette journée !! 🙂 je lui suis très reconnaissante. J’y retournerai avec lui sans hésiter !

    Very happy to have booked the tour. The guide was not only telling all the time interesting stories and facts, but also replying our numerous questions and speaking to us as we were old friends. I appreciate the help for understanding islands history and traditions and I will be happy to do that tour again just to have such a company. Very comfortable mini van, with 9 people present. Guide speaks perfect English and is really caring. Delicious meal served in the middle of the tour.
    I recommend it for the people who like to see small villages and the stunning road and the fjords.
