Faroe Islands: Adventure at the Edge of the World

Hosted by

Vasyl

Guided trip
Drifting in the swirl of the rhythmic North Atlantic Sea, the world lingers here. A place like no other on earth. An idyllic retreat, nestled peacefully among lush green valleys, mighty basalt cliffs, vast treeless moors, and waterfalls plunging straight into the ocean. An unimaginable beauty, mysteriously hidden like a child's fantasy world. The 18 volcanic islands that make up the Faroe Islands resemble a handful of rocks scattered randomly in the deep sea. The islands are home to mythical mountains, hobbit-like turf-covered houses, and grazing shaggy sheep. They offer the perfect breeding ground for all our senses. They inexplicably unleash a soothing sense of stillness and an air of ruggedness that is only surpassed by the breath of fresh air and the sight of expansive landscapes. Hey there! My name is Vasyl, 30 years old and traveling is my passion and I enjoy organizing trips. I love meeting new people and exchanging cultures and languages. But the most important is to make people happy through traveling by creating unforgettable memories. I'll be your driver, hiking partner, motivator, plus hopefully a good friend during and after the trip. Unstable and changeable weather adds to the Faroe Islands' charm (or challenges, depending on how you look at it). All of this and more create a unique and inimitable destination on the edge of the world. A place that is truly untouched, undiscovered, and simply amazing. A great journey and a real diving into Scandic life await you. We won’t live in tents, but in comfortable houses where you can relax and recharge after a long busy day. We will travel exclusively by car, which will take us to the most inaccessible places. It will be a real road trip, where we will discover new locations, get to know ourselves, and catch every moment during hikes. It's a great feeling of road trip feeling to be able to stop wherever you want during your travels. Make cool photoshoots and shoot unreal road movies of your life. This trip is perfectly planned. But I always leave a spare of freedom, a bit of unpredictability, and adventure.
 We will visit the best and most top locations, as well as secret ones that few people know about. Usually, I won't reveal all the places we will see so that you do not have any expectations. So your emotions gonna be more sincere. However, you can be sure that real mind-blowing awaits.

Trip Itinerary
1

Tórshavn

Day 1-2
On the first day, we meet at the Sorvagur Airport. After arrival we gonna pick up our cars and a short rest, we will go to Viðareiði - the northernmost town in the archipelago. We will travel through a network of tunnels to get to this settlement built at the foot of one of the highest capes in Europe - Eniberg. If time allows, we will also reach the abandoned settlement of Múli.
2

Saksun

Day 2-3
After breakfast, following the most picturesque road in the archipelago, we will go to the vicinity of the settlement of Funningur in the northern part of the island of Eysturoy. This small village, picturesquely situated on the slope of the highest mountain in the Faroe Islands, is the starting point for several interesting trails. We will choose the most spectacular one and after a short trek, we will stand on the top of the cliff with a fabulous view of the fjord and the high, jagged peaks surrounding it. In order to cool down the emotions, we will go to the nearby settlement of Gjógv - according to many, the most beautiful in the Faroe Islands. Ahead of us is a walk to the local monumental cliff. From a height of 200 meters above sea level, we will see the open ocean, the opposite island of Kalsoy, and with a bit of luck, also more and more puffins appearing here.
3

Mykines

Day 3-4
After breakfast, it's time for a real adventure! We are about to visit Mykines - the most beautiful island of the archipelago. During the cruise, you will have the opportunity to see the Tindhólmur islet and the Gásadalur valley - symbols of the harsh nature of the Faroe Islands up close. Upon arrival at Mykines, we will take a walk around the only settlement on the island, today almost abandoned. Then we will head to Mykinesholmur - a small island separated from Mykines by a metal footbridge to see the largest colony of Puffins and Gannets in the Atlantic. After returning to the settlement, we will try sheep meat sandwiches and rhubarb beer in a local bar. On the way back, a 40-minute speed boat rides along the most beautiful fjord of the Faroe Islands.
4

Kalsoy

Day 4-5
In the morning we will take a short ferry ride to the island of Kalsoy. It was here that the latest James Bond adventures "No Time To Die" were filmed. The island is called a pipe, and it's all because of its characteristic elongated shape and 4 tunnels that communicate the settlement cut off by the mountains. Let's cross them all to get to the village of Trøllanes, where a short trail begins to one of the most beautiful places in the archipelago Cape Kallurin. There are fairy-tale views of the cascading highest capes in Europe. The place remains in my memory forever. It's time for a real adventure and a helicopter flight. On the way we will fly over the capital Tórshavn, the beautiful island of Koltur, and just above the unique waterfall Bøsdalafossur, which pours its waters from Lake Sørvágsvatn directly into the ocean. This is not the end of attractions! From the airport we will go to Gásadalur - until 2006 the only town in the Faroe Islands cut off from the road system. If the weather allows, we will go to the village along the old postal route, guaranteeing the most beautiful views of the archipelago. There is an amazing view of Mykines and Tindhólmur, which we will admire from several viewpoints. In the final we will face the Múlafossur waterfall, without a shadow of exaggeration, the most photogenic in the archipelago.

Klakkur

Day 5-6
Full-day tour of the smaller islands: Borðoy, Viðoy, and Kunoy. We will see the church of Viðareiði Kirkja, the fairytale peak of Malínsfjall, the picturesque village of Kunoy, and the bay of Viðvík. In the afternoon, visit the breathtaking Klakkur viewpoint.
6

Tjørnuvík

Day 6-7
We will start the day with a visit to Tjørnuvík. An unusual volcanic beach awaits us and a unique view is available to those who decide to climb a few hundred meters along an easy trail above the village. Then we will take a trip along the highest road in the Faroe Islands. It leads through the massif of Slættaratindur - the highest mountain of the archipelago with a height of 882 meters above sea level. It is also the highest peak in the European part of the Kingdom of Denmark. We will reach the top by overcoming 300 meters of difference from where there is the greatest view of the entire archipelago!

Tórshavn

Day 7
Last day on the beautiful islands. After breakfast, depending on when everyone has the flights, we will head to the airport to catch a flight back home or spend some time in the capital city. I hope you understand what awaits you and the fact that such a journey is hard to miss :)
