Faroe Islands Vacation Packages and Tours

The Faroe Islands are a self-governing state under Danish rule and in large part, operate autonomously. They're made up of 18 islands, with just one uninhabited, and have a population of approximately 53,000. The Faroese do not consider themselves Danish and take pride in their identity, language, flag and traditions. The islands are home to people from all over the world. You'll chance upon Danish and Swiss residents and also Hungarians and Thais, among others.

The largest Faroe island, Streymoy, is home to the capital Torshavn, the most popular place for guided activities. The Vestmanna Bird Cliffs's rich birdlife, the fishing epicenter of Klaksvík, a hiking tour to the historic Kirkjubøur commonly feature on itineraries. A walking tour of Torshavn is just as delightful, taking you into Tinganes, home to the Prime Minister's Office, and local homes, where you can sit down to an authentic Faroese dinner.

The tiny village of Tjørnuvík in Streymoy is nestled in a deep valley. It offers views of the famous sea stacks of Risin and Kellingin. Saksun, a remote village of 10 residents, is set high above a tidal lagoon and offers incredible views of the surrounding mountains. Sakun to Tjørnuvík is a popular hiking trail, with cairns along the route to guide you.

On a hike of the Mykines island, you'll spot clownish puffins on steep cliffs. Suduroy treats you to awe-inspiring views of cliff sides and the remote islands of Litla Dimun and Stora Dimun. A hike between Oravik and Vagur will take you through mountains and colorful villages.
