Activity Holiday in the Faroe Islands

Faroe Islands Guided Holiday Week

Sitting alone in the mid-Atlantic, the Faroe Islands offer travellers a unique and untamed land to explore. With a maritime climate and changeable weather, chances are you’ll see the islands in many different lights during a week-long adventure. This holiday uses the capital city as a base from where you’ll venture off on day trips to all corners of the archipelago. It is perfect for the first-time visitor to the Faroe Islands and does not require car hire. We’ll take care of all the tour arrangements with knowledgeable local guides. You’ll travel independently joining other guests for daytrips. Weekly departures are available every Monday between June and August.
