The Best Hikes In The Faroe Islands Are Off-The-Beaten-Path, Which Our Faroese Guides Have Access To
#1
Tindhólmur
This secluded islet is a very special experience. It is privately owned which makes it very difficult to access.
Most tourists are unable to access Tindhólmur, which makes the experience more unique. The terrain is steep and dramatic, and is not for the faint-hearted. There is a famous story on the islet of an eagle that stole a baby from one of the two houses on the island, and about a mother who bravely climbed to the top of one of the peaks of the islet to retrieve her baby.
We arrange for private dining experiences for our travelers in one of the two houses on the island. We bring travelers to Tindhólmur by boat or helicopter.
#2
Kallurin
While Kallurin hike is one of the few more “touristy” sites that we bring our travelers to, we have the ability to make it more unique and intimate.
We usually bring our travelers over with a private boat to avoid the “peak” hours of tourists that correlates with the local ferry schedule to the island.
The hike to Kalluring Lighthouse takes around 45 minutes each way and is like a truly transformative journey to a different universe. The views from Kallurin are unlike anything else and it feels like a true escape from reality.
There is also rich birdlife in the area.
#3
Enniberg
Enniberg is one of our most challenging hikes with steep terrains.
However, the struggle is worth it, as there is incredibly dramatic scenery on this trip. At 754 metres (2474 feet), Cape Enniberg is the world’s tallest vertical sea cliff and is situated on Viðoy island.
The hike offers views of the dramatic mountains of the Northern islands in the Faroes and a unique “pocket” of tranquility on the top, as there’s a section that’s frequently shielded from the strong winds.
#4
Dunnesdrangar
Located on Vágar island, this hidden secret of a hike is a frequented favorite for our travelers.
Through the help of a guide, we charter a boat or kayak across a large body of water to get the most unobstructed view of the towering sea stacks. The views are unparalleled, and the area's tranquility is unlike any other. There is rich birdlife on the hike.
Other than the journey across the body of water, the approach hike is short, around 30 minutes.
#5
Beinirsvørð
Beinisvørð is located Suðuroy, the southernmost island of the Faroe Islands. Most of the scenic spots on the island are known for being “accessible”, as they often have paved roads.
This is also the case with Beinisvørð. This dramatic scenery is only ~20 minutes walk from the car, but is completely secluded from civilization. The views are thrilling and the sunsets here are arguably amongst the most beautiful on the planet. The birdlife is also incredibly vibrant on Beinirsvørð.
#6
Kirkja to Hattarvík
Located on the 2nd smallest island of the Faroe Islands, Fugloy, this hiking trip brings travelers between the two villages on the island. The hike is moderately difficult and offers beautiful views. We’ve crafted experiences with locals in the villages to create very special full-day trips on the islands.
We bring travelers to the island by private boat or helicopter.
