Arrive at the Vágar Airport and pick up car. Drive into Tórshavn and settle into your hotel. 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. You can also take in the 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 - your reception staff can give you recommendations for your evening meals.

After breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel and transfer to meet your private guide in Sørvágur, ready to take the ferry to the Mykines island at 10:20. After ca. 45min ferry journey and on arrival at Mykines, you will go on a guided tour of the village with some refreshments.
After then continue on a guided walk to Mykineshólmur, which is connected to the main island by a wooden footbridge over a 35 meter deep gorge and ends with spectacular views from the lighthouse. You will be walking directly through the Puffin colony, so expect "close encounters of the bird kind" and many photo opportunities. Return ferry to Sørvágur at 17:05.

After breakfast drive to the Suðuroy ferry via Torshavn. The car ferry is approximately 2 hours so sit back, grab a hot drink and enjoy your time with locals. On arrival, drive to your accommodation this evening, Heima i Stovu.

The boutique hotel is set in a family house built in 1912 and newly refurbished to resemble a great-grandparents’ home in the same village. It is a perfect place to enjoy a break from your everyday hustle. Immerse yourself in the laid-back atmosphere in Hvalba, hike in the beautiful mountains surrounding the village, and enjoy food made from local ingredients. Bring your own book or dive into our vintage collection in the cozy sitting room and be transported back to a timeless period.

This morning, you have a hiking tour included with a picnic lunch. Depending on the weather, your guide will escort you to their favourite spots along the cliff tops and valleys.

The highlight of your stay will be the included meals with a kitchen full of love and memories. Located on the ground floor, the kitchen has direct access to the kitchen garden and a short walk to the nearby shared village allotment where the locals experiment with the berries and vegetables their local climate can sustain.

This morning, ferry back to Tórshavn and take your time returning back to your hotel.

Please let us know if you wish to arrange any activities for this day.

After breakfast, you will be picked up at your hotel and join a group hiking tour. Start the walking tour, past Mannafelsdalur, the site of a bloody Viking battle 700 years ago where mounds of grass still grow with a red hue, said to be the blood of the slain Viking rebels, while in the distance, the NATO radar listening station nestled high above the Faroese landscape reminds us of more modern conflict.

Hike to the panoramic and truly breathtaking views overlooking Vágoy and Trøllkonufingur....a photographer's dream! .... and a landscape that would grace a Tolkien legend. Then walk over the ridge to an open landscape with lake views at Vatnsdalur and down to Norðadalur, with spectacular views of the islands Hestoy and Koltur, where you will pause for Faroese delicacies and refreshments, before taking a short drive into the capital, Tórshavn.

Here you will take a historic tour of the ancient and narrow cobbled streets that wind in and out of the traditional wooden, grass-roofed houses that truly define the Faroe Islands and on to Tinganes, to explore the ancient site and traditional red wood, grass-roofed buildings of the oldest parliament in the world.

This evening from 7pm, join the locals for a special home cooked meal. More and more people in the Faroese are offering ‘heimablídni‘, translated as ‘home hospitality’, where they invite people into their own homes for a dinner and a chance to get to know the locals.

Durita and Fróði serve an exciting menu with the special taste of fermented food, which is called ræst in Faroese. Traditional dishes with a milder taste are also on the menu.

The couple, who live in the capital, Tórshavn, serve dinner in their authentic Faroese home with a beautiful view. You will taste 10-12 different Faroese specialities, prepared by Durita and Fróði.

After breakfast, transfer to the airport and depart.
