Easter Tour to Faroe Islands

Planning an Easter trip outside of Denmark? We suggest Faroe Islands! Accompanied by the unpredictable weather found on this unique archipelago, we invite you on this very special tour to the North-western part of the Danish Kingdom. Surrounded by the country’s breath-taking nature, we move from island to island to meet local Faeroese, who passionately explain and demonstrate elements from their everyday life on land and water. In this way, you get deeper insights to an excited and authentic people, who in many ways live differently compared to the Danish population.
The program of the tour encapsulates in particular the Faroe Islands unique fishing culture, and we especially zoom in at the Faeroese life outside of the capital, Torshavn. In that regard, curiosity and openness is a must when we together with local citizens dive into both culture and nature as we go fishing, hiking, sailing and much, much more!

We meet at Copenhagen Airport from where we board the plane to Faroe Island. On arrival to Vagar Airport, we get picked up in a car and drive straight into the beautiful, Faeroese nature. You can look forward to stunning waterfalls, fresh air and an exceptional acquaintance with Faeroese gastronomy. Later on, we are introduced to the country’s sheep culture and the population’s incredible hospitality. After hanging out with the four-legged, we dine below the stars. With filled stomachs and new impressions, we drive towards Torshavn and our house base for the next couple of days.

The first whole day on Faroe Island – starting with a fantastic view of Torshavn. After breakfast, we embark on a 3-hour walk/hike to Kirkjubøur, so remember to gain enough energy for some active hours. On arrival, we briefly check out the town before preparing lunch with a striking sea-view. In the afternoon, we continue to Westmanna to embrace the Faeroese nature on sea. The boat trip takes you along an impressive and distinctive rocky landscape. Before we head for dinner, we drive to a lake at Fjeldsø where we might be lucky enough to catch a trout.

We drive towards Árnafjørður, from where we go on a fishing adventure in cool Viking dinghies. On our way to the fishing town, we stop at various viewpoints. At Árnafjørður we eat lunch before head for the sea. On the boat trip, we learn more about the Faeroese history and we have plenty of time to practice our fishing skills. We end the day in Leirvik where we enjoy an authentic, Faeroese dinner.

Another day in the name of fish as we begin by visiting a local Faeroese. Here, we learn how to clean and prepare various types of fish. If we master the tasks successfully, the activity might result in tastings as well! Afterwards, we leave for Torshavn harbour to catch the ferry to the island Suderoy. Arriving at our destination, we put on warm clothes and get ready for a hike in the beautiful but demanding landscapes. The hike starts and end in Hvalba, where we stay the night. Our local hosts serves a wonderful dinner, which is definitely needed after our effort on foot.

If you are up for a fresh morning, we recommend a dip in the water before breakfast is served. Next up is departure, heading for the town Hov for a look into the Viking history. After lunch, there is time to relax or enjoy a walk in the town and landscapes surrounding it. Then we head back to Torshavn where you can look forward to end the last day of the trip with another well-tasted meal. We check in at Hotel Torshavn for our last night on Faroe Island./one_half]

Filled with new, incredible experiences and memories, we have our last meal together with the group before heading for the airport. Here, the program end and we fly back to Copenhagen (or Billund) together. Hopefully, you can’t wait telling your family and friend about the tour!

As the Faroe Islands are characterized by a very changeable and unpredictable weather, adjustments may occur in the program along the way. We will do everything we can to update you regularly. In case something is canceled, we will find an alternative activity.
