Arriving in the Faroe Islands is a memorable experience, especially on a clear day when the view from the plane window is breathtaking. Once you land at Vágar airport, your rental car will be ready for collection. From there, you’ll drive to Tórshavn, crossing the subsea tunnel that connects Vágar to Streymoy. For a scenic journey, take the old mountain road towards Hotel Føroyar, offering stunning panoramic views along the way.
Upon arrival at Hotel Føroyar, the staff will welcome you at reception. Later in the evening, you'll have a reserved table at the hotel's restaurant, Ruts, where a delightful dinner awaits you
Staying at: Hotel FøroyarWe suggest spending the day exploring the capital and its attractions. You can visit the old town, the art gallery, and the National Museum. If you'd like to explore the city with a local guide, just let us know.
In the evening, a table will be ready for you at Ræst, a restaurant that honours the ancient Faroese fermentation tradition, combined with modern culinary creativity. Ræst offers an authentic Faroese dining experience, blending international fermented ingredients with a unique yet simple cooking style.
Staying at: Hotel FøroyarToday, you'll enjoy an authentic fishing experience aboard a traditional Faroese boat, sailing across fjords and villages, and soaking in the tranquillity of the sea. In the Atlantic waters, you're likely to catch fish such as cod, haddock, whiting, saithe, ling, and tusk.
After the fishing trip, you'll be welcomed into a local home for a three-course Faroese meal, with your catch of the day featured as part of the menu.
Staying at: Hotel FøroyarTo round off your tour of the Faroe Islands, we recommend a drive north to explore some of the islands' most picturesque villages: Tjørnuvík, Gjógv, and Viðareiði.
Tjørnuvík boasts a stunning beach with breathtaking views of mountains, cliffs, and the iconic sea stacks "Risin & Kellingin." From there, cross the Atlantic Bridge to the charming village of Gjógv, named after the beautiful gorge that runs through it. Wander through the narrow streets, admire the old houses, and take in the views over the gorge. Next, head to Viðareiði, the northernmost village, known for its own unique charm. A stroll away from the village reveals views of the other northern islands: Svínoy, Fugloy, Kunoy, Kalsoy, and Borðoy.
In the evening, enjoy a farewell dinner at restaurant ROKS, the relaxed sister restaurant of KOKS. ROKS focuses on top-quality Faroese seafood, blending modern and classical cooking techniques with a playful approach to food and flavours, all delivered with professional and friendly service.
Staying at: Hotel FøroyarYour journey on these northern islands has come to an end, and we hope you've enjoyed everything they had to offer. Before heading to Vágar airport, we recommend exploring Vágar island by visiting the picturesque villages of Bøur and Gásadalur, which provide stunning views of the islet Tindhólmur and the island Mykines.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Faroe Islands. The weather was quite mild - had rain 1 day but it did not stop us doing anything. We loved Gjogv the best of all. Such a beautiful little town and such a unique natural harbour. Whilst our accommodation was satisfactory, we were a little disappointed in the "hostel"-type accommodation. Having been told that they were 3 star we expected something smarter and more upmarket. The breakfasts were good and the Hotel in Torshavn offered free tea/coffee making facilities all day which was nice and they even had biscuits on offer. However the TV in this room was attached to a side wall so we were unable to watch from the comfort of the beds. The car hire was 100%. We expected a little car and were surprised to receive a Nissan Juke which we were a bit concerned about as it was our first time driving a left-hand drive vehicle. However, it was fine. There is not much traffic to worry about.I think we traveled all the roads on the islands that we visited and found some wonderful spots. All in all it was a great trip and everything worked as it should have. Thank you!
The trip was well organized overall after an initial complication with hotel check-in. I would still recommend the agency to others traveling in the Faroes. It would have been nice to have more detailed information/suggestions on sites and other activities.
