Discover the rugged beauty of Suðuroy, the southernmost inhabited island of the Faroe Islands, on an exclusive private day tour. With dramatic sea cliffs, quiet villages, fascinating history, and spectacular coastal scenery, Suðuroy offers a completely different atmosphere from the northern islands.
Guided by a local expert, you’ll experience the island through its landscapes, traditions, and stories while travelling at a relaxed pace designed around your group. This private experience combines iconic attractions with hidden gems that many visitors never get the chance to see.
Your adventure begins with the ferry crossing from Tórshavn to Suðuroy.
Pickup at the Suðuroy ferry terminal upon arrival.
During the crossing, enjoy panoramic views across the North Atlantic before your guide welcomes you to the island and begins the day’s adventure.
One of the highlights of the tour is the magnificent Beinisvørð, where towering cliffs rise dramatically above the Atlantic Ocean.
Standing at the edge of these impressive cliffs offers unforgettable views across the open sea. Your guide will share stories about the area’s history, local legends, and the fishermen who once depended on these dangerous waters for their livelihood.
This is one of the most spectacular viewpoints anywhere in the Faroe Islands.
Continue south to Akraberg, the southernmost point of the Faroe Islands.
The historic lighthouse stands proudly above the crashing waves, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and endless ocean views. On windy days, the landscape feels wonderfully wild, offering incredible opportunities for photography and quiet reflection.
Next, visit the historic village of Hvalba, one of the oldest settlements in the Faroe Islands.
Explore the old fishing harbour while learning about the village’s coal mining heritage, maritime traditions, and its important role in Faroese history. The surrounding mountains and coastline create one of the island’s most picturesque settings.
In the peaceful village of Fámjin, you’ll visit one of the country’s most historically significant churches.
Inside is the original Merkið, the first Faroese flag, hand-sewn by Faroese students in 1919. Your guide will explain the fascinating story behind the flag and its importance in the Faroese journey toward national identity.
The journey continues to the beautiful village of Sandvík, where you’ll enjoy a short walk to the viewpoint overlooking Ásmundarstakkur, one of Suðuroy’s most striking sea stacks.
Here, dramatic cliffs meet the Atlantic Ocean, creating spectacular scenery that perfectly captures the island’s untamed character.
One of the advantages of a private tour is the flexibility to explore beyond the standard itinerary.
Depending on weather conditions and your interests, your guide may include additional stops such as:
Every tour is slightly different, making each experience unique.

The itinerary may be adjusted depending on weather, ferry schedules, and road conditions to ensure the best possible experience.
This is a private tour, allowing your guide to adapt the day to your group’s interests while visiting Suðuroy’s most spectacular locations.
