Highlights of the Faroe Islands | Private Tour

Discover some of the most beautiful locations in the Faroe Islands on an exclusive private day tour through Streymoy and Eysturoy. Designed for travelers who prefer a more personal experience, this tour combines spectacular scenery, charming villages, local stories, and iconic landmarks while allowing you to enjoy the day at your own pace.

Unlike a shared tour, this experience is reserved exclusively for your group. Whether you’re passionate about photography, interested in local culture, or simply looking for a relaxed day exploring the islands, your guide will tailor the experience to suit your interests.


Discover the Hidden Beauty of Saksun

Your private adventure begins with pickup at 09:00 from your accommodation.

Meeting Point

Pickup from your accommodation (please provide address when booking)

Our first destination is the idyllic village of Saksun, one of the most scenic locations in the Faroe Islands. Surrounded by steep mountains and overlooking a beautiful tidal lagoon, Saksun feels untouched by time.

With a private guide, you’ll have the freedom to spend extra time exploring the village, taking photographs, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.


Tjørnuvík and Faroese Legends

From Saksun, we continue to the remote village of Tjørnuvík.

Known for its black sand beach and dramatic setting between towering mountains, Tjørnuvík is one of the most memorable villages in the Faroe Islands. From the shoreline, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the legendary sea stacks known as Risin and Kellingin (The Giant and the Witch).

According to Faroese folklore, these towering rocks were once giants attempting to pull the Faroe Islands closer to Iceland.

Learn more about the area in our guide to Tjørnuvík.


Fossá Waterfall and Mountain Landscapes

The journey continues to Fossá, the highest waterfall in the Faroe Islands.

The waterfall cascades down multiple levels before flowing toward the ocean, creating one of the country’s most impressive natural sights.

As we continue north, we pass near Slættaratindur, the highest mountain in the Faroe Islands. For guests interested in hiking, it is possible to arrange an optional hike to Slættaratindur or another trail. Please contact us for details before booking.


Lunch and Exploration in Gjógv

The final major stop of the day is the charming village of Gjógv.

Named after its spectacular sea-filled gorge, Gjógv is widely considered one of the most beautiful villages in the Faroe Islands. Here you’ll enjoy lunch while taking in the peaceful atmosphere and dramatic scenery.

After lunch, you’ll have time to explore the village, walk along the gorge, or visit one of the nearby viewpoints overlooking the ocean.

Scenic Roads and Hidden Viewpoints

One of the benefits of a private tour is the ability to make spontaneous stops along the way.

Depending on weather and conditions, your guide may stop at additional viewpoints overlooking the mountains, fjords, and winding roads of Eysturoy and Streymoy. These lesser-known locations often become some of the highlights of the day.

Before returning to Tórshavn, we’ll enjoy panoramic views above Funningur, one of the most scenic mountain landscapes in the Faroe Islands.


A Private Experience Designed Around You

This tour offers a relaxed and flexible way to experience some of the Faroe Islands’ most iconic locations.

Without the constraints of a larger group, you’ll have more opportunities for photography, questions, and meaningful conversations with your guide. The day can be adapted to your interests while still covering the highlights that make this one of the most popular tours in the Faroe Islands.
