Remote, wild and untouched hiking on Faroe’s volcanic islands
Explore the Faroe Islands by land and sea on this eight-day tour. You’ll hike trails along steep cliffs and rugged coastlines before boarding a WWII-era sailboat to navigate the majestic fjords. Historically, not much is known about the 18 forgotten islands, but today travelers are drawn to its brightly painted cities, festival scene, and one-of-a-kind wilderness. One thing is certain — this sailing and hiking expedition will take you to landscapes so extraordinary, you wouldn’t be surprised to see a mythical selkie swimming straight out of folklore onto one of the archipelago’s cliffs.

Trip Highlights
Depending on when you make your trip, you’ll either explore the Faroe Islands under the glow of the midnight sun or watch the northern lights from the deck. Regardless of the season, expect gradual hikes with jaw-dropping views as far as the eye can see. Sailing on Norðlýsið, the ship you’ll take from island to island across 80 nautical miles, is an adventure in itself. On this immersive Faroe Islands hiking tour, you’ll get to experience the local culture firsthand. In addition to viewing rugged peaks and waterfalls dripping off Eysturoy’s rocky coastline, you’ll also gain a glimpse into the rich fishing and sailing traditions of the region. There’s a reason why the Nordic lifestyle gets a lot of hype.
