Explore hidden villages, nature and enjoy a traditional Faroese home lunch

Discover the authentic charm of Eysturoy on this immersive full-day small group tour. Combining peaceful villages, scenic landscapes, and local traditions, this experience offers a deeper connection to Faroese life.

Departing from Tórshavn, the journey takes you to three quiet and secluded villages: Morkranes, Kolbeinagjógv, and Selatrað. Nestled in sheltered bays and valleys, these communities offer a glimpse into the calm and remote lifestyle that defines the Faroe Islands.

Continuing through Strendur and Skála, you’ll experience a blend of history and modern development. In Skála, discover a hidden waterfall near the local outdoor pool and learn about the village’s role during World War II, as well as its importance today as home to the Faroe Islands’ largest shipyard. In Strendur, enjoy views along Skálafjørður, where colourful houses and a peaceful lagoon create a picturesque setting.

The route continues along the scenic “Buttercup Road” surrounding Toftavatn. This area features the largest heathland in the Faroes and is rich in birdlife, including geese, plovers, and divers. It’s an ideal place to pause, breathe in the fresh air, and take in the tranquil surroundings.

A highlight of the day is a traditional heimablídni experience - a home-cooked meal enjoyed in a local Faroese house. Prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, this intimate setting offers a unique opportunity to connect with Faroese culture and hospitality.

During the tour, your guide will share stories of local life, from Viking history to legends of the hidden people (Huldufólk). You will also travel through the impressive Eysturoyartunnilin, the world’s only subsea tunnel featuring an underwater roundabout and striking art installation.

This small group tour is perfect for those seeking a personal and meaningful experience, exploring lesser-known corners of Eysturoy while enjoying nature, history, and genuine Faroese hospitality.
