Faroe Islands Tours
Untouched nature, steep cliffs, and endless horizons: get your inspiration from this itinerary
Astonishing, wondrous, and untouched by mass tourism. Discover one of the world’s most entrancing and untrodden corners, a bewitching Atlantis-like archipelago adrift among the waves of the Atlantic, with this Faroe Islands tour. Just thinking about what, and where, this tiny self-governing nation actually is. 18 volcanic islands intervalled by windy sounds and fjords, floating in the middle of the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic.
Largely untouched by tourists and definitely off-the-beaten track, the Faroe Island prove that (luckily) there still are places in the world to explore! Embark on a wonderful voyage, explore wave-battered headlands, dramatic cliff sides, heavenly meadows and frothy fjords with some tailor made Faroe Islands excursions.
Start your Faroe Islands tour in the village of Bøur, and spend your first 3 nights in a delightful family-owned cottage with breathtaking views of the Tindhólmur islet. Enjoy the privilege of seeing the town, getting to know local tradition and tasting mouth-watering local cuisine together with your charming local host. Over the next few days experience typical Faroe Islands excursions and activities and see the sights escorted by Rani, your charismatic local guide. Also a well-known musician Rani will provide you with an authentic insider’s view of the Faroe lifestyle.
During your journey, experience the islands’ rhythm through moments that reveal their authentic character: a visit to Kirkjubøur, the country’s most historic village, where the 12th-century St. Olav’s Church and the ancient Roykstovan farmhouse stand as living testaments to Faroese heritage; or a walk through the capital Tórshavn’s old town, where turf-roofed houses and narrow lanes preserve the spirit of seafaring life. You can even meet local families for a Heimablídni dinner, a unique tradition of home hospitality that turns a simple meal into a cultural exchange filled with stories, laughter, and warmth.
Take part in experiences that blend culture, creativity, and nature: enjoy a private concert or storytelling performance by Faroese artists, or sail on a vintage schooner built in Tórshavn during the 1940s, restored by a local artist who transformed it into a floating piece of history. These encounters embody the Faroese way of living in harmony with their environment, turning simplicity into art.
For a more adventurous day, join expert guides for scenic hikes through landscapes like Trælanípan, where the famous Lake Sørvágsvatn appears to float above the sea, or along the cliffs of Vágar and Streymoy, where you might spot seals and seabirds in their natural habitat. Each path leads to a new perspective on the islands’ striking beauty, often ending with a traditional fireside pancake or coffee shared outdoors, just as locals have done for centuries.

Faroe Islands food: authentic flavors, local secrets, and fine dining at the edge of the world
Food in the Faroe Islands is a true cultural immersion, deeply rooted in tradition, nature, and local hospitality.
At RÆST in Tórshavn, visitors can experience the bold flavors of Faroese fermentation, with dishes like wind-dried lamb and fermented fish served in an intimate 18th-century setting. The newly opened PAZ, led by renowned Michelin-starred chef Poul Andrias Ziska, redefines fine dining in the Faroe Islands with a tasting menu inspired by the seasons and the raw beauty of the Nordic landscape.
For a more personal connection to local life, heimablídni dinners invite travelers to enjoy authentic meals in private Faroese homes: sharing food, stories, and culture. And for those craving a once-in-a-lifetime experience, Voyemo offers a private langoustine dinner with a legendary local seafood expert known as the Langoustine Man.

Helicopter and sea caves: immersive nature reimagined
Soar over fjords and volcanic cliffs on a private helicopter tour to the remote island of Koltur: an untouched paradise where time stands still. After landing, explore ancient meadows and rugged coastlines guided by a local storyteller.
The adventure continues on water: board an inflatable boat to circle the bird cliffs of Hestur, and glide silently into hidden sea caves where a Faroese musician performs live beneath echoing rock domes. These elemental encounters are not only breathtaking, they’re deeply human.
Depending on weather and season, Voyemo can tailor the experience to include champagne toasts at secluded viewpoints or gourmet picnics on remote plateaus. Each element of the journey is designed to reveal the Faroe Islands’ raw grandeur with elegance and serenity.
Nólsoy island: where the time slows down
Just a 30-minute sail from the capital, Nólsoy offers the perfect blend of peace and mystery. With only 230 residents, no roads, and an untamed coastline, this island feels worlds away. As you cruise past seabird colonies and sea caves, you’ll witness the Faroe Islands at their most raw and poetic. In the village, time slows down.
At the historic Nólsoyarstova retreat, Scandinavian design and Faroese art frame your stay in quiet elegance: a sanctuary to reflect, unwind, and reconnect.
For travelers seeking an even deeper sense of stillness, Voyemo can arrange guided walks or photography sessions at sunrise, when the light transforms the cliffs and ocean into a living canvas. The calm isolation of Nólsoy captures the essence of the Faroe Islands: pure, elemental, and timeless.
