Tour description and schedule
Join us on an enchanting journey to the charming villages of Gásadalur and Bø, and experience the authentic beauty of two of the Faroe Islands’ most idyllic settlements.
Gásadalur: Gásadalur is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and the majestic Múlafossur waterfall, which cascades into the clear ocean below. Here, you’ll also find the cozy café Gásadalsgarður, which buzzes with tourists during the summer. In the autumn, the café transforms into a farm storage facility for grain and later serves as a slaughterhouse. During our brief visit to Gásadalur, you’ll have the unique opportunity to peek inside Gásadalsgarður and take a refreshing walk out to Múlafossur.
Bø: Next, we head to Bø, a village with a special charm. Its iconic black houses with grass roofs resemble hobbit houses and offer a fantastic view of Tindhólmur. In Bø, you’ll visit three exciting locations. First, you’ll explore Fjósið, a former barn loft converted into a cozy restaurant and venue. Next, you’ll experience Pakkhúsið, an old warehouse that has been carefully restored and now serves as a restaurant and venue. Following this, you’ll visit the four small huts known as Útsýnið (The View). These huts are built in traditional Faroese style and are beautifully integrated into the landscape. As we walk between these three locations, you’ll have the chance to enjoy Bø’s unique atmosphere.
Hotel Vágar: The tour concludes with a short visit to the newly renovated Hotel Vágar, where you can admire the modern comforts in historical surroundings.
