Join us for a beautiful private tour of the highlights of the Faroe Islands where we'll stop at a few must-see spots and some extra ones along the way, while doing our best to avoid the crowds.

We’ll head out of the city via the old mountain road route to Norðadalsskarð, a photographer’s dream, where you will have a moment to enjoy the panoramic view.

First stop is the picturesque Saksun surrounded by a mountain amphitheatre right in front of Pollurin lagoon. Saksun is a hidden gem located about 10 minutes away from the main road especially know for the turf roof and natural beauty.

Heading onwards, it will take us around half an hour to reach the village of Tjørnuvík. Tjørnuvík lays nestled in a valley surrounded by high mountains and boasts a striking black sandy beach, famous amongst cold waters surfers.

Afterwards, we drive through the old mountain road on our wayt to visit the cosy village of Gjógv, named after its deep gorge and known for its beautiful and unique scenery.

    We took part in the "Faroe Islands Highlights Tour" on July 21 – and it was undoubtedly one of the best experiences we had on the Faroe Islands! Our guide was both knowledgeable, present and flexible, and the route of the day was adapted so we were able to see as much as possible and with respect to our interests - without at any time feeling rushed. We had the very breathtaking experience of seeing sea parrot on close hold. Later, we got a strong and nuanced impression of a Faroese tradition that has been used for centuries. The night before there had been a mud catch in Tjøruvik. The 116 grind whales had been moved to the village of Eidi, and we got a unique insight into how the grind was treated and distributed, so a very large part of the Faroese population got a share in the catch, which is non-commercial. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us. The tour went through the most spectacular landscapes and past beautiful waterfalls. We got to see hidden points of view that we would never have found on our own. At the same time, our guide generously shared his knowledge of nature, history and Faroese lifestyle – creating a good and inspiring atmosphere throughout the day. We left with lots of impressions, pictures and thoughtfulness – and at the same time a great gratitude for having had this huge experience. The warmest recommendations from here! Inge Marie and Lili

    The tour was amazing! We visited all the places in the description, and Thomas was an excellent guide and driver, providing us with many information about the islands along the way. We had two small kids in the group and he made sure that they have fun and comforted as well
