Tour description and schedule
The Faroe Islands are an absolute treasure, and they are just waiting to enchant you. The ones that venture here are rewarded with an absurdly pristine natural paradise, virtually devoid of tourists. Over and over, you will be stunned by the scenery that surrounds you.

Enroute we will have a stop at the highest waterfall in the Faroe Islands “Fossá”.

Hike along the bank of the gorge, from where you have a spectacular view of the bird cliffs and the island Kalsoy.

Brewery visit and lunch.
The island Nólsoy, where a local host will take you on a guided journey through the village and its legends.
After the tour of Nólsoy, you will be invited to the home of Maud for a dinner party – a Faroese concept also called “Heimablíðni”.
We will end the day with a swim in the country’s largest hot tub, combined with Faroese appetizers and brew.
Day 3
Peter Pan and Wendy Boat tour – a boat tour that will take you to some of the most spectacular filming locations for the new Disney movie “Peter Pan and Wendy” – that is Tindhólmur, Drangarnir all with a view to Mykines.

Fiskastykkið which is a hundred-year-old warehouse that has been freshened up and turned in to a cosy café and a charming conference and event venue.
