Discover Lakeside Sightseeing in the Faroe Islands—sail serene waters, hike iconic cliffs, and experience authentic local hospitality.

A Unique Journey to Trælanípu on the Floating Lake
Sail, Hike and Indulge

Step aboard Lakeside for a journey that blends breathtaking nature with authentic Faroese hospitality. This unique experience takes you across the serene waters of Leitisvatn, where nature`s beauty unfolds in every direction. It combines a scenic boat trip, a breathtaking hike, and a taste of Faroese hospitality.

This is not just a boat tour but an intimate and immersive journey through one of the Faroe Islands' most breathtaking landscapes, guided by those who cherish this land. Gunnar, the owner and your guide, has deep family ties to these waters and land. For generations, his family has lived in harmony with nature, working tirelessly to protect and preserve this wild and fragile landscape. As we glide across the still waters, our guides will share stories of history and our efforts to safeguard the land for future generations.

You can enjoy a delicious lunch onboard, allowing you to relax and settle into the rhythm of nature as we glide toward the legendary Trælanípa. Unlike traditional hikes, Lakeside offers a rare and exclusive approach—docking directly beneath the cliffs.

From here, Gunnar will lead the hike up to Trælanípu, the famous Slave Cliff, where you will witness the magic of the floating lake – a breathtaking illusion where water appears to hover high above the Atlantic. Surrounded by towering cliffs and the vast North Atlantic, you will feel the raw, untouched beauty of the Faroese wilderness in its purest form.

The journey continues to a viewpoint where you can see Geitaskoradrangar and Bøsdalafossur, the mighty waterfall that cascades directly into the open ocean, where you will gain insight into the natural forces that shape this landscape.

After taking in the stunning views, we return to the Lakeside for a well-deserved moment of warmth and relaxation. You will be served cake, freshly brewed coffee, and tea, allowing you to reflect on the experience while surrounded by the stillness of the lake.

Food, wine, beer, and soda are also available for purchase on board for those looking to enhance their journey.

This tour is perfect for adventurers, nature lovers, and those seeking a deeper connection to the Faroese landscape. It offers the best of sailing, hiking and local flavours.

Whether looking for a serene escape or celebrating a special occasion, Lakeside is the perfect setting for family gatherings, company retreat, birthdays, weddings, or simply a unique adventure with friends.

For those seeking a more personal and exclusive experience, Lakeside is also available for private rental. Customise your journey and create a truly special memory. Contact us for more information, and let us craft the perfect experience for you.
