This is the tour for those who want to explore the Faroe Islands by car. It gives you the freedom to travel around the small villages, see the fantastic views and investigate the local events, all at your own pace. Flights, car hire and accommodation are all pre-booked and we also provide suggestions for photostops and activities – you have the time and freedom to choose.
DAY 1: Arrival to the Faroe Islands. Pick up your hire car at the airport and enjoy the rest of the day on Vágar island. Drive to the village of Gásadalur, walk along the marked path, enjoy the impressive view of Tindhólm, and the attractive waterfall that runs down into the sea. Overnight on Vágar.
DAY 2: We suggest a day trip to the bird island of Mykines. Enjoy an impressive sailing trip alongside the majestic sea cliffs. On the island you will see the charming puffins with their colourful red beaks and the striking gannets that only breed on Mykines. Overnight in Tórshavn
DAY 3: Take the ferry from Tórshavn to the island of Suðuroy. The nature on Suðuroy is particularly well suited to hiking. We recommend visiting the lighthouse at Akraberg on the southernmost tip of the island and also Beinisvørð, to enjoy the magnificent panorama that unfolds when you get to the top. The village of Famjin is also well worth a visit. Overnight on Suðuroy. DAY 4: Return to Tórshavn. Walk through the old town and soak up the atmosphere of the small houses with grass roofs. The old town is unique, not only in the Faroes but in the entire world. We recommend a visit to Kirkjubøur, which is the historical and cultural centre. In Tórshavn, you will find many different restaurants and cafés where you can enjoy excellent food. Overnight in Tórshavn.
DAY 5: Drive towards the village of Eiði to take the panoramic route to Gjógv. See the impressive rock formations Giant and the Witch and see the highest mountain, Slættaratindur at 882m. Explore the village of Gjógv, famous for its natural harbour. From Leirvík drive through the subsea tunnel to Klaksvík. The Faroese artist, Tróndur Patursson, has decorated the tunnel with ‘light’ art. It is easy to explore the other Northern Isles from Klaksvík, each with its own dramatic landscape. Overnight on the Northern Isles.
DAY 6: On the way to the airport, we recommend that you take the fascinating two-hour boat trip to the Vestmanna sea cliffs, sailing between the cliffs and into the grottoes. Take time to visit the unique Saga Museum which describes the Faroese history from the Viking Ages. Continue onto the airport and deliver the hire car. Departure with Atlantic Airways.
