Faroe Islands: Embark on an Adventure through Nature's Paradise!

Welcome to the breathtaking Faroe Islands! We will meet in our accommodation in the afternoon. Most likely, we will stay in Tórshavn at a guesthouse or apartment. This day is only planned for arrival, but in the evening, we can have our first dinner together!

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.

Today, we will take a bus to Vágar Island, home to some of the most stunning natural beauty in the Faroe Islands. We will hike to the beautiful Mulafossur Waterfall and the Floating Lake Viewpoint. We will have some time to visit the picturesque village of Gásadalur and its famous grass-roofed houses before heading back home.

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.

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.

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. The Kallur Lighthouse Hike is definitely the most famous one, as there are pictures all over social media. After completing the Kallur Lighthouse hike, we will go to the village of Mikladalur. Here we will eat something and also get to see the 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 :)

After breakfast, we have to check-out of our accommodation, and will take a bus to Vagar Airport for our departure flight! Hopefully, we will see each other on another trip!
