While the growing tourism sector has brought accelerated innovation in local gastronomy and increased experiential activities availabe for locals and travellers alike, the Faroe Islands is also a very small and fragile place. Hence, it is on top of REMÓT Travel’s agenda to lead the way in developing the Faroese tourism sector in a sustainable and inclusive manner - allowing travellers to explore our beautiful islands whilst keeping the Faroese way-of-life intact. Everything we do at REMÓT is with respect and regard for the local community and natural environment;
Our partners in the Faroe Islands are always locally Faroese – ensuring that resources stay within our communities, resulting in more opportunities and innovation in the Faroese tourism sector.
We always plan our REMÓT Experiences to be as localized as possible, with local partners. We want to create direct value in the towns and villages where we operate.
No mass tourism. Some of the natural ecosystems struggle to stay healthy amidst the influx of tourism - We always recommend our travellers to explore off-the-beaten-path locations, as we believe this is best for the local environments

The climate and soil in the Faroes do not lend well to agriculture. Thus the Faroese diet consists mainly of seasonal fish, organic lamb, and a few stubborn root vegetables; Potatoes, kohlrabi, turnips, and rhubarb. Despite the harsh conditions, the Faroese have crafted a booming culinary scene (including a two-starred Michelin restaurant) utilizing what produce is available on the Islands.
Faroe Islanders have realized the potential traditional food has in a fine-dining setting. To name a few, RÆST restaurant utilizes an age-old method of dry-aging meat until it reaches an acquired taste of fermentation. Áarstova is famous for serving an entire rack of lamb for the table to share - much like dining in a Faroese household, Skeiva Pakkhús serves Italian-inspired dishes consisting mainly of local produce.

Although many travelers choose to visit the Faroe Islands in the summer months, winter in the Faroes can be just as, if not more enthralling. The Faroe Islands has relatively mild winters considering the high latitude, with temperatures averaging around 3 degrees celcius.
The dim winter months create a magical and dramatic atmosphere that gives a sense of being completely isolated from the whirlwind of the world. Faroe Islanders naturally pace down during these months and enjoy what the Islands have to offer: concerts, café’s, ice skating, exhibitions, gastronomy, hiking, and-so-on. A mentality that undoubtedly will be adopted by visitors of the Islands and will provide a unique perspective on what living in an isolated but developed archipelago is like.
Experiencing northern lights is also a possibility, especially in the northernmost Islands, but regardless if one is lucky enough to catch a glimpse, enjoying the serenity and iconic views of the Faroes is certain to satiate any traveler's needs.

For the 25th anniversary of the James Bond franchise, Bond finds himself in one of the world's most remote corners - the Faroe Islands. With the dramatic backdrop of rugged cliffs jutting out into the wild nature of the Atlantic Ocean, the Faroe Islands are a cinematographer's dream.
All filming in the Faroe Islands took place in the northeast part of the Faroes in Kalsoy. Distinguished by a swooping landscape, Kalsoy is ideal for big-screen grandeur. Although remote, the Picturesque Islands, and all the filming locations are accessible by a short boat ride from Klaksvík, followed by a short car ride to get to the small village of Trøllanes, where all filming took place.

Examples of such pioneers include Poul Andrias Ziska from 2 starred Michelin restaurant KOKS.
