Spectacular Landscapes:
Islands of towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and emerald-green valleys, all surrounded by the dramatic North Atlantic Ocean.

Rich Nordic Heritage:
Step into a world where ancient Viking traditions meet modern Scandinavian charm. From exploring the charming capital, Tórshavn, to staying in turf-roofed cottages, to climbing up old paths used by Vikings to remote settlements as well as learn about the Islands fascinating history.
Serenity and Solitude:
With only 50,000 residents across 18 islands, the Faroe Islands offer unparalleled peace and tranquillity. We will escape the ruckus of daily life and reconnect with ourselves and nature in a place where we’ll feel like we have the world to ourselves.
An Expedition for Everyone:
Whether you’re an avid hiker, a photography enthusiast, or simply someone seeking an unforgettable getaway, the Faroe Islands has it covered.

Home to millions of seabirds, including puffins, the Faroe Islands are a paradise for nature lovers. We may even spot seals basking on the shores or whales breaching offshore. It's a wildlife experience you'll find nowhere else.
Experience Highlights
Dive into Artic waters to explore the underwater kelp forests and seaweed gardens, speargun in hand.
Experience an afternoon of fishing in the deep inlets onboard a vintage Schooner, escorted by flocks of sea birds above and the fresh salty air.
Kalsoy Island, best known for its dramatic portrayal in the recent James Bond movie, No Time To Die. From here, hike inland to Kallur Lighthouse and Trøllanes, a blissfully remote village in the north of the island.
Hike through the natural wonders of Vagar Island, discovering epic waterfalls and with tales of the Viking Age and how Trælanípa earned its infamous name of slave cliff.

Being an archipelago in the North Atlantic the weather can be hard to call.
In April the winter still hasn’t quite let go and snow can be common. The mountains will likely have snowy caps but expect rain showers rather than snow on the Heaths.
Average daytime temperature on the Heaths will usually stay above 0°C but can reach 10-12°C.
Up in the mountains it can be below 0°C so layers will be essential.
The wind is a near permanent feature so windproof layers will also be a must.

A kit list will be provided along with your trip confirmation.
-
