Highlight of the Faroe Islands

Highlight of the Faroe Islands

What to expect

Overview

The Faroe Islands are just a short flight from Iceland, yet they're way off the standard traveller's radar.

Adrift in the frothing swells of the North Atlantic, this mysterious 18-piece jigsaw puzzle of islands is at once ancient and very modern. The proud, long-suffering Faroese character has been forged from Viking blood, Christian piety, Scandinavian openness and an awe for the humbling nature that's all around.

When visiting the Faroes, you are never more than 5km (3 miles) away from the ocean. The countryside is dominated by steep mountains and there are about 80,000 sheep and some 2 million pairs of seabirds, including the largest colony of storm petrels in the world, puffins and gannets.

This short tour of the Faroes takes you out the bird cliffs of Mykines, the beautiful village of Saksun with its natural amphitheatre of cliffs and the village of Gjógv. You will enjoy a tour of the old town and explore the old-world charm of Tórshavn. Stay at a boutique luxury hotel on the water's edge.
