Discover our Faroe Island tours
For rugged clifftop rambles, sweeping seascapes and wonderous wildlife, the Faroe Islands is hard to beat. These are islands that feel even more remote than they are, with over 40% of the population living in just one city. Secluded rainbow-hued fishing villages and traditional turf-roofed houses make up most of the residential areas outside the two main towns. They’re also often overlooked by travellers, but their mistake is your gain, with quiet trails and wild and windswept vistas that demand your attention.
Walkers and birders alike are captivated by the location, with scenic ferries and boat trips linking the 18 islands only adding to its appeal. Not to be missed whilst
walking in the Faroe Islands is the spellbinding optical illusion of the Sorvagsvatn (the Floating Lake), a unique natural wonder, known for its optical illusion that makes it appear as though it's floating above the ocean.
