Arrive at the Vágar Airport in the Faroe Islands and transfer to the small village of Gamlarætt, via your hotel to drop off your luggage. Here you will start a round trip from Gamlarætt in Streymoy to the island of Hestur, sightseeing around the island. Slowly your rib boat will move as near as possible to the birds under the cliff, Loftið, which vertical wall measures some 1,200 feet. Hestur Island harbours guillemots, puffins, black guillemots, shags, fulmars and eiders. A couple of seal caves are there as well. If the weather is good, you will also sail into the caves, Álvagjógv and Klæmintsgjógv, depending on current and wind directions. After your tour, return to your central hotel (12 mins). Check into our hotel and settle in. When you are ready, head out on an old town tour to get your bearings and enjoy the history of this port village. Walk through the narrow cobbled streets, between traditional wooden houses with grass turf roofs, which date back many hundreds of years. Discover the old fortress, the marina and the peninsular known as Tinganes, where you will walk through the iconic redwood, grass-roofed buidings of some the oldest parliament buidings in the world. Tórshavn has a lively bar and restaurant scene – the hotel can give you more local recommendations for your evening meals but if you are planning on visiting the KOKS restaurant, be sure to reserve a booking as early as you can.

After breakfast, you will be met at your hotel and driven to the historic village of Kirkjubøur, the southernmost village on Streymoy. Here is the country’s most important historical site with the ruins of the Magnus Cathedral from around 1300 and the Saint Olav’s Church from 12th century. Visit the old farmhouse Kirkjubøargarður from 11th century, which is still occupied by the same family for 17 generations.

Then drive to the beautiful village of Saksun with its natural amphitheatre of cliffs and stunning nature. During low tides it is also possible to walk along the sandy beach to the ocean.

After exploring Saksun, your next stop is the village of Tjørnuvík, the most northerly village on Streymoy and now popular with surfers…yes you heard correctly…surfers!

Tjørnuvík also has one of the oldest Viking burial grounds where you can see the original burial stones. Take time here to enjoy your packed lunch whilst admiring the view of the “Giant and Hag” rock formations on the headland and learn about the legend behind the rocks.

Drive to the highest point on the Faroe Islands and descend into the beautiful and picturesque village of Gjógv. Here you may also get the opportunity to take coffee and cake with the locals. Return to Tórshavn in the late afternoon.

Meet your guide this morning and then together catch a local ferry from Sørvágur at 10:20. Your guide will point out places of interest on the ferry journey to Mykines and then on arrival, enjoy a guided tour of the village with refreshments.

Now it is time to head out to Mykineshólmur, which is connected to the main island by a wooden footbridge over a 35 metre deep gorge and ends with spectacular views from the lighthouse.

Following strict local guidelines, your guide will help you move through the Puffin colony with minimum impact on the birds.

Afterwards, return to Sørvágur on the 5.10pm ferry with transfer to your hotel.

Just outside of Tórshavn, transfer to your starting point for sea kayaking. Today with your local guide, spend the morning on a tour where you can row in the bay along the Boðanes shore to the Tórshavn harbour, Vágsbotn, Bursatanga or Sandagerð. This trip can be modified according to your experience and interests. Let us know if you would like to do further adventures such as scuba diving, hiking the peaks of the Faroes or similar.

Return to your hotel for your final night in the Faroe islands. Enjoy meeting the locals at the vibrant pubs and restaurants.

After breakfast, transfer to the airport and depart.
