Faore Islands Flavours

Flavours of the Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands are truly unique, and their fresh produce and ancient fermentation methods make the local cuisine stand out. While only a few types of fruits and vegetables grow on the islands, they are unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere. The Faroese people use a lot of fish and lamb in their dishes, so trying the local delicacies is a must when you visit.

This package gives you the chance to explore the flavours, natural beauty, and warm hospitality of the Faroe Islands. Please note, the daily programme may vary depending on availability.

To 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.

Flavours of the Faroe Islands

4/5

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.
