Explore the raw beauty of the Faroe Islands on a week-long walking tour through this remote archipelago, where dramatic cliffs, rugged coastlines, and peaceful valleys abound. Your adventure begins on Vagar Island, where you’ll settle into the rhythm of Faroese life in the village of Sorvagur, a quaint harbour town steeped in history and local tradition. The journey truly begins with a ferry to Mykines, an island known for its towering cliffs and vibrant puffin colonies. As you hike towards the iconic lighthouse, you'll cross a footbridge to Mykinesholmur and enjoy stunning views, with opportunities to spot puffins and other seabirds. Afterward, visit the Mulafossur Waterfall in Gasadalur, one of the Faroe Islands’ most striking natural wonders. Next, embark on a boat trip to the Vestmanna Bird Cliffs, where you’ll glide past 700-metre-high cliffs, home to thousands of seabirds. Later, hike around Sorvagsvatn, a lake that appears to float above the ocean, before visiting Bosdalafossur, a waterfall cascading into the sea. The following day takes you to the rugged cliffs of Eidi on Esturoy Island, with panoramic views of the sea stacks Risin and Kellingin. Explore the village of Gjogv, known for its dramatic gorge, before heading to Klaksvik, where you'll spend two nights discovering the northern islands. On Vidoy Island, visit a historic church and hike up Klakkur Peak for sweeping views of the fjord. Afterward, take a ferry to Nolsoy Island, known for its colourful houses and dramatic coastline, and enjoy a hike with the chance to spot local wildlife, including the largest colony of Storm Petrels in the Faroes. Return to Torshavn for free time to explore the capital. The final hike takes you to Kirkjubour, one of the Faroes’ most historically significant villages, where you can explore the ruins of Magnus Cathedral and Saint Olav’s Church. A guided tour of Tinganes in Torshavn will reveal the city’s rich history, from its turf-roofed houses to its role as the centre of Faroese politics. Afterward, enjoy some free time before a farewell dinner. Your adventure concludes with time to reflect on the landscapes, wildlife, and history you've encountered. This week-long journey immerses you in the stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of the Faroe Islands.
