In the Faroe Islands, dramatic cliffs, green valleys and small, charming villages await. Here you are never far from the waves – or from spectacular hikes and bike rides, waterfalls plunging into the ocean and encounters with puffins and whales.
The Faroe Islands are where cold Arctic waters meet the warm Gulf Stream – creating a landscape unlike anywhere else. Here, you can hike along dramatic cliffs like Trøllkonufingur or take a gentler walk to the Saksun lagoon. You can also reach the summit of Slættaratindur and enjoy views across all 18 islands.
Along the coast, you can join a boat tour, go kayaking or explore the islands by car or bike. Along the way, you have a good chance of spotting wildlife up close, including blue whales, orcas, dolphins and puffins. For something more adventurous, you can try rock climbing, cliff jumping or high-speed boat tours. Many visitors also explore small villages such as Gásadalur, where the Múlafossur waterfall drops straight into the Atlantic Ocean.
If you are looking to slow down, you will also find time to relax with a book, visit a local café or explore a museum – not to mention enjoying local food. Here, you will find traditional dishes made from fresh, local ingredients, and you can even visit the Michelin-star restaurant Koks.
