If you're seeking an extraordinary holiday experience, you should join my trip! ARCTIC ADVENTURE From breathtaking landscapes and unique wildlife encounters to captivating cultural and scientific insights, a visit to Spitsbergen promises an unforgettable adventure in one of the world's most remote and fascinating regions. I already included lots of activities for us and they don't require any previous experience, however, you need to be fit to join the trip. Please also keep in mind, that you will need suitable, warm clothes! I will provide you with a packing list before the trip. With polar bears roaming around, you cannot leave the town of Longyearbyen alone, so we will always have a guide with us, to be safe. Due to that, and activities and accommodation being quite expensive, comes a high cost - but that's totally worth it, in my opinion! You can encounter polar bears anywhere in Svalbard all year round, however, it's never guaranteed to see them, like with any other wildlife - we definitely need some luck! FAROE ISLANDS Faroe Islands - a captivating archipelago nestled in the heart of the North Atlantic Ocean. With its dramatic landscapes, untouched beauty, and a unique blend of traditional Nordic culture, this hidden gem offers an unforgettable holiday experience like no other! What can you expect? Rugged cliffs, cascading waterfalls, lush green valleys, and picturesque villages seem to emerge from a fairytale. The untouched nature here is a heaven for outdoor enthusiasts, providing endless opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, boat trips and the awe-inspiring fjords.

Tórshavn

Early morning, we will head to the pier, as we will have a sailing trip, to experience the Faroe Islands from the sea. Our boat will be an authentic Faroese sailing ship. We will bring some snacks and drinks and just unwind! The sailing experience will take about 3,5 hours, which gives us enough time to explore Tórshavn in the afternoon. We will be visiting Tinganes, the historic district of Tórshavn and also shop for Souvenirs. There are cute shops offering traditional handicrafts, knitwear, and locally made products or artwork.

Vágar
Tag 10-11

11
Mykines
Tag 11-12
We will take a bus to Vagar from where we will take a helicopter to Mykines! Helicopters may usually be the preserve of the rich and famous, but in the Faroes, helicopters are a way of life. Helicopter routes on the Faroe Islands were originally established as a link for inhabitants of the smaller, more remote islands to make it easier for them to get to the busier islands. The Faroe Islands have one of the most unique landscapes on the planet, and viewing these remarkable islands from above is the best way to take it all in – absolutely breathtaking! Once In Mykines, we will explore the island on foot. We will hike to the islet of Mykineshólmur, connected by a picturesque footbridge. This trail rewards us with breathtaking views of the surrounding cliffs, the crashing waves, and the opportunity to witness nesting seabirds. We will return by ferry and go out for dinner.
12
Vestmanna
Tag 12-13
On the next day, we will take a bus to Vestmanna, which takes about half an hour. There we will join a guided boat tour for 1,5 hours to explore the stunning Vestmanna Sea Cliffs. We will sail close to the cliffs and if weather permits, the tour will include sailing through rocky gorges. There are several bird species that are nesting in the narrow sloping ledges in the cliffs. Hopefully we will also spot some Puffins! The Faroe Islands got very popular because of the Puffins - about 1,000,000 birds breed in the Faroe Islands during the summer period, so May is a good time to see them.

Klakkur
Tag 13-14
We will take a ferry from Klaksvík to Syðradalur, the main port on Kalsoy. Afterwards, a bus will bring us to the starting point of our hike.

Here we will eat something and also get to see the famous Seal Woman Statue. This sculpture, based on a Faroese legend, tells the story of a mythical seal that transforms into a beautiful woman. We will take a ferry and a bus back home to our accommodation :)
