What To Expect

Leirvik

After pick-up in Tórshavn, we head north and down into the roughly 11-kilometer-long Eysturoy Tunnel, which is unique as the only undersea tunnel in the world with a roundabout, surrounded by a beautiful piece of local artwork. Forty-five minutes later, we make a brief stop in Leirvík to talk about Vikings, avalanches, and abandoned villages before we continue our journey through second undersea tunnel to the Northern Isles.

Klaksvik

When it storms in Klaksvík, the mountains rumble, and when it’s time for fishing, the trawlers sway in and out of the harbor. Upon entering Klaksvík, the prominence of the fishing industry is instantly underscored by the striking sight of a giant metal fishing hook statue. The town has spread around the bay and increasingly up the steep mountainsides. Besides fishing, the town is also known for hosting a large number of events and festivals throughout the year, and there’s also an award-winning brewery in Klaksvík.
