10 Cultural Tours in Faroe Islands That You Shouldn't Miss

March 10, 2022 Leida Jutras

Bobbing in the frothing North Atlantic, the remote, 18-piece Faroes are a picturesque patchwork of emerald pastures, dotted with sheep, gaily-hued cottages and tree-free moors. The sea is never more than three miles distant in this proud, assured land, where deep-rooted traditions remain strong. The coasts boast deep fjords, steep cliffs and looming headlands. Explore these fjords by wooden sloop or sail the coast by schooner. Walk the fells and brave the unpredictable weather to puffin spot.

Very grateful for David for going through with the tour even though several participants cancelled and I was the only one left on the tour. We had a wonderful visit to all the highlight locations of the Faroes, including Saksun, Tjornuvik, Gjogv and Kirkjubour. David is super knowledgeable about the country and is happy to share all that knowledge. We also made several extra photo stops and our bagel lunch on the beach jn Tjornuvik was tasty and fun. There is also free time in several spots so you can wonder around at your own pace and take lots of pictures.
