What To Expect
Kirkjubour
Our first stop is Kirkjubø, the old cultural center of the Faroe Islands and one of the few places that can make you feel as if you’ve stepped back into the Middle Ages. We’ll take a short walk around this charming village and share stories about its historical events, myths, and legends that have connected Kirkjubø and Sandoy through the ages.
Skopun
Skopun, only 9 km2, is the smallest municipality in the Faroe Islands. It was once famous for having the world’s largest mailbox. The record has been broken since, but the big 7.42-meter-tall blue mailbox is still a sight to see. It stands out in the village with its narrow streets. Before the tunnel, the harbor was the main connection between Streymoy and Sandoy. On a clear day, you can see the ferry port on Streymoy and Kirkjubø.

5.00There is only one word to describe the tour (and the Faroe Islands): Beyond. The tour and the guides was beyond fantastic with beyond beautiful singing in the Saint Olav’s Church in Kirkjubøur and beyond fun Faroese chain dance. Also a lot of good and interesting stories and information about the Faroe Islands and the fantastic places we visited on the tour. And a great lunch too at a beyond cosy café. All in all a beyond fantastic tour to Sandoy with the best guides ever that really loved being guides for the very fortunate attendees on this tour. 😊
