Come along for a private experience to enjoy the Wonders of Vágar Island. This trip follows a similar itinerary to our small group experience, but rather then traveling with others you will have our driver guide all to yourself, and we’ll do our best to avoid the crowds for your own private enjoyment.
Offering some of the most striking views in the Faroe Islands, the Wonders of Vágar Island tour should be on any visitor’s to-do list. Our tour includes the village of Gásadalur, Bø Sandavágur and the Troll Woman's Finger. This popular island is rich in history and legends. Our tour also includes some of the most celebrated waterfalls and viewpoints in the Faroe Islands. All in a one-day experience.

What To Expect
We will head straight out of Tórshavn driving over the mountain road towards the tunnel to Vágar Island. The old mountain road is known for its beautiful scenery, and, at Norðadalsskarð we will stop for a short break to stretch our legs and enjoy the beautiful view over the fjord, before continuing on to Vágar Island through the Faroe Islands’ first sub-sea tunnel.
Gasadalur
Our first stop on Vágar Island will be a visit to the fairy-tale village Gásadalur, home to the breathtaking waterfall Múlafossur, providing one of the most majestic views in the Faroe Islands. Gásadalurs scenic charm has long been recognised, for example it was used in the Swedish movie The Birdcatcher’s Son, a film based on a local folktale from the early 1800’s, yet it was only in 2006 that a mountain tunnel to Gásadalur made it possible to drive to the village. Before then the locals had to hike the mountain every time they needed to leave the village.

5.00Wonderful day in a cozy little group. We visited incredibly beautiful places and our guide told us a lot about the history of the Faroe Islands. We also saw puffins.
Wonderful experience.

5.00There are very few places (hotels/ airBnb) on Vagar island. We were lucky to stay at the best appartment ever! The host name is Arnjohn Hvitklett and the address is 18 Traðarvegur, Sørvágur, Vágar 380, Faroe islands, We had a 2 rooms appartment with bathroom and kitchen, fully equipped, nice terrace before the entry and gorgeus view on the ocean and mountains. The interior is modern, comfortable and cute. Nothing was missing. THe host was very kind and helpful. You can find him on the airbnb site: arnjohn-e53szy13eprqstpd@host.airbnb.com
