Neither too hot nor cold, the perfect coolcation away from the warm temperatures on mainland Europe. Here's your guide to experiencing the charm of June:

Faroese people are helpful. Kids can have a free life here. You don’t have to plan everything… because of the weather, you can’t.”

Seascape serenity: Set sail for your seascape in the Faroe Islands! Whether sailing, surfing, or kayaking, there's endless fun to be had in these wild waters. Chart your course, catch some waves, or explore hidden coves—all promising unforgettable experiences for water enthusiasts of all ages.
Fugloy village: When you head to Fugloy, you will discover a true hidden gem (via ferry from Hvannasund). Here you can roam the village Hattarvík and Kirkja (walk the village path from one end to the other), and finally dine at the local café Kalalon before getting back on the ferry.

Experience Eysturoy: This vibrant island offers a unique experience every day of the week in June (also July). Join a cosy knitting session with locals, explore villages on guided walks, visit a traditional sheep farm, or dive into history at a local museum.

Summartónar: Experience the vibrant melodies of Summartónar. Across the 18 enchanting islands, concerts come alive in unique settings—be it at sea, in a grotto, atop a mountainside, or nestled in a cozy venue or cabin. While some of these summer concerts are free of charge, others may request a nominal fee. Don't miss out on this opportunity for an authentic Faroese experience! 
Hiking galore: June is ideal for outdoor activities & hiking. Hike along scenic trails and roam through some of the lesser-known but equally remarkable village paths. The possibilities for adventure are endless! See our hiking routes here. 

TIPS FROM AN ISLANDER

  1. Glory glory: With a football pitch in almost every village on the Faroe Islands, you cannot avoid them. Attend a football match and feel the spirit of the most dedicated fans in the North!
  2. Yihaaw: Head to the one and only Country Festival, happening on the 11th - 13th of June. Expect a lot of cowboy gear mixed with stylish wool, excellent musicians and some cherry good vibes. 
  3. Once-in-a-lifetime trip: This summer, you can take the helicopter for a day trip to the remote Island of Stóra Dímun. You will visit where few have gone before and receive a warm welcome from farmers Eva and Jógvan Jón — the island’s only inhabitants. See here for more information on booking. 
  4. Watch the sunset: With up to 20 hrs of sunlight in June (sunset at around 11.30 PM), we recommend heading out to Sornfelli or Velbastaður (both right outside of the capital) for a night stroll to catch the golden view. As the sky brightens up in pink and purple, the surrounding nature melodies become simply hypnotising.
