VISIT 2017

PRE-TOUR

We invite you to experience two intense days in the central part of the Faroe Islands – Vágar, , and the Northern Islands. The tour will present some of the most cherished sights and attractions as well as introduce you to new tourism products. You will experience fabulous sceneries, challenging adventures, history and culture, musical performances and you will meet the locals.

Just after arrival we will drive to the picturesque village of Gásadalur. We take a walk in this idyllic village enjoying the view to the islets and stacks off the coast, the most known is Tindhólmur with its castle-like peaks. We walk to the viewpoint of the famous waterfall in Gásadalur – a must see for all visitors.

From Vágar we will head to the village Gøta on Eysturoy, where we will get a tour of the old part of the village with its black-tarred church and the superbly restored farmhouse Blásastova that together with three other fisherman’s cottages and boathouses, were an ancient Chief’s settlement in the early 1800s.

In the evening, we will enjoy a nice Faroese homecooked dinner from the local farmer and a living room concert presented by the concept “Hoyma” and the G! festival. A truly intimate experience.

The next day we will explore the northern islands and we’ll start with a high-speed boat tour to . The western coast of the island is dominated by dramatically steep cliffs, while idyllic green valleys are on the eastern slopes protecting the four tiny villages. We will speed the tempo and head towards the village which is known for its fascinating folk-tale and statue of the seal women, and further north to Kallurin. Back on land we will enjoy lunch at a local café before taking a stroll through Klaksvík - a town of history and a rich and diverse cultural life. Afterwards we will go on a sightseeing tour by bus to the scenic villages of and Viðoy before heading towards Tórshavn.

In the evening, we will take you on a stroll through the old charming part of town, where you will be introduced to some of the many restaurants and we will end the evening with dinner at the popular fish tapas house “Barbara”, which is situated in one of the small houses in the old part of town.

The last day we will go on a horseback riding tour. The tour starts at the horse stables at the

62n.fo outskirts of Tórshavn and we will ride through the valley Havnardalur to Velbastað. The mountains offer a great experience where you get close to nature. The tour is suitable for both experienced as well as inexperienced riders, but we will offer an alternative tour for those who might not feel comfortable riding. In Velbastað we will end this pre-tour with a festive lunch at the farmers Anna and Óli’s home.

Throughout the tour, we will focus on the good experience but at the same time we will also have a professional approach and make sure you get an insight into the various tourism products and facilities that you can use for your customers.
