The Faroe Islands have much to offer, and this package invites you to discover the islands through unique landscapes, local flavours and local experiences.
Winter in the Faroe Islands can be unpredictable, with changing weather and plans that may need to be adjusted along the way. There is a reason why the islands are known as “The Land of Maybe." While we cannot always predict what the weather will bring, non the less we assure you that this is an experience you will remember and cherish.
Today we welcome you to the Faroe Islands. During the next couple of days, you will get a great overview of the Faroese culture, history, and food. Upon arrival you can choose either a rental car or airport shuttle, either way you will be heading towards Tórshavn where you will be checking in at Hotel Føroyar or Hotel Tórshavn. Hotel Føroyar is located on a hill with an amazing city & sea view. Hotel Tórshavn is a city hotel and is located in the heart of Tórshavn, Vágsbotnur.
You will start your experience with a three-hour private tour by foot in Tórshavn. You will visit the old part of town “úti á Reyni”, the world's oldest parliament “Tinganes” and the fort “Skansin”. During the tour you will get a good overview of the Faroese history and the city’s architecture. In the evening you will be served a 3 course menu at Ruts, located at Hotel Føroyar.
Today is yours to spend as you wish! If you have a rental car, you can explore the beautiful island of Vágar and discover some of its stunning landscapes. If you prefer to stay in Tórshavn, you can visit a museum, explore the city centre on your own or simply relax and unwind at Ress Spa. The possibilities are many, and the choice is yours. We are always happy to help with ideas and recommendations to make the most of your day.
Experience the Faroe Islands from the sea on a 2-hour fishing trip from Tórshavn. Join a traditional Faroese boat, enjoy the beautiful coastline and try your luck at catching local fish. All fishing equipment is included, and no previous experience is needed. Depending on sea current and weather there are several areas where you can expect to catch fish. We may sail northeast and throw our fishing lines by the islet of Hoyvíkshólmur or we may head across the fjord and try our luck outside the island of Nólsoy. Typical fishes in the areas are Atlantic cod, haddock and saithe. Sometimes you may catch whiting, ling, and tusk. Enjoy!
If you have a rental car, we suggest you explore the areas outside Tórshavn: Kirkjubøur, Vágar island and areas further north. If you do not have a rental car you can take the public bus to Kirkjubøur, which is the old cultural centre of the Faroe Islands. Visit the roughly 900-year-old Roykstovan, Ólav's church from AD 1111, named after King Olav the Holy. This church is the oldest church in the Faroe Islands and is still in use. See the ruins of St. Magnus Cathedral, which is one of the largest cultural attractions in the Faroe Islands.
In the evening you will enjoy a 3 course dinner at Áarstova, where you get to taste the famous Faroese lamb.
Your experience on these small islands in the north has come to an end and we hope you have enjoyed everything we had to offer.
