Explore Our Most Popular Faroe Islands Travel Packages

It’s impossible to overstate the untouched beauty of the archipelago. The islands are remote and wild, and Faroe Islands trip packages make the most of the brilliant links of underwater tunnels that make it easy to head to the furthest corners right from the tiny capital of Tórshavn.

To illustrate the reasons the Faroe Islands are a must-see destination, we’ve picked a handful of our favourite and most often-booked tours to give you a taste of the options on offer.

Highlights of the Faroe Islands

Our classic Faroe Islands fly-drive holiday is a popular way to see the scenery at your own pace. You’ll spend eight days exploring villages like Sørvágur, Bøur and Gásadalur, head to Mykines Island by boat to see a jaw-dropping array of wild seabirds and have the excitement of driving through the tunnels that connect Vágar Island with Streymoy and Eysturoy.

Stop-off points are pre-planned with a detailed map, route guide and itinerary, taking in the Vestmanna cliffs, the cooling waters of Tjørnavík beach, and the Rinkusteinar or Rolling Stones of Oyndarfjørður, amid hiking, lighthouse visits and comfortable stays in wonderful local hotels along the way.

New Year in Tórshavn

The capital of Tórshavn is one of the smallest in the world, with narrow, winding lanes and traditional turf-roofed houses. This is coupled with a high-end fine dining scene for foodies and extraordinary landscapes that surround the city, from historic forts and harbours to lush green valleys and the jagged outlines of cliffs soaring from the water.

New Year's in Tórshavn is something special, as a five-day adventure where you’ll be able to visit the sparkling lights of the Tivoli Christmas Market in Copenhagen before heading onward, looking forward to a festive banquet full of authentic Faroese dishes and dazzling fireworks in the evening.

Faroe Islands Holiday Packages by Travel Style

There is no right or wrong way to experience the Faroe Islands, and many visitors have certain types of holidays they most enjoy. They might centre on Nordic island-hopping itineraries or breaks in sumptuous hotels, nature escapes in charming rural regions, or self-drive holidays where guests can take all the time in the world to relax.

Guided Faroe Islands Tours

Seeing the best of the islands is often easiest with help from an excellent guide. Faroe Islands tour packages are organised with warm, welcoming hosts who will share insights into the unique geography and ensure you see the highest cliffs, largest waterfalls, and rarest wildlife, including puffins and whales.

Escorted tours of the Faroe Islands can be scheduled for parties of all sizes, from small groups to solo travellers, with limited guest numbers for comfort and convenience. You can also select customised holidays if you’d prefer a private tour to see the scenery and wildlife in your own time.

Walking and Nature Holidays

Faroe Islands vacation packages often incorporate walking routes along the dramatic cliffs, deep waters of the fjords and the beaches and bays on the shores of the North Atlantic, and there is no question that this is a superb location for hiking adventures.

From wandering along the winding trails, seeing the peaceful sheep grazing around the small villages, and heading to panoramic clifftop summits, historic lighthouses and ancient ruins, there are countless things to see amid unspoiled charm.

Short Breaks and Seasonal Escapes

The diverse wildlife and unparalleled scenery ensure that photography and landscape tours in the Faroe Islands never disappoint. Remote and off-the-beaten-path holidays allow you to capture the beauty of the autumn sunlight, the puffin colonies in summer, and the seasonal magic of Tórshavn over winter.

Summertime is marked by longer, warmer days, when birds and dolphins flock to the cliffs and waters. In contrast, an autumn or winter experience is an authentic Nordic getaway when you’ll see the wildest weather of the North Atlantic at a time when the islands are at their quietest.

Tailor-Made Faroe Islands Holidays

Customised Faroe Islands tours ensure you tick every item off your bucket list, whether you’re intrigued by Nordic culture and traditions, want to unwind on a digital detox, or wish to spend a week or two hiking, sailing and kayaking among a nature-lovers’ paradise.

The Baltic Travel Company team will work closely with you to create a flawless itinerary. We can share recommendations for festive family getaways, romantic breaks for couples, and summer escapes, with extra-special added touches for holidays to celebrate occasions and anniversaries.

Seasonal Faroe Islands Holidays

The wild beauty of the islands changes constantly throughout the seasons. That means Faroe Islands holiday packages in the spring and summer, when you can enjoy cliff walks and hiking, are a hugely different experience from heading to the islands in the depths of winter. The choice is yours based on what an exceptional holiday would look like to you!

Spring and Summer Nature Exploration

Small-group nature holidays are best organised in the gentle warmth of spring and summer, when scenic drives to viewpoints and leisurely hiking are at their peak. During June, there are up to 22 hours of daylight a day, which gives you ample time to hike to beauty spots like Kallur Lighthouse or the floating lake of Trælanípa.

Epic waterfalls like Múlafossur will be in full flow, with boat trips that wind through the caves and sea stacks, and if you travel in late July, you’ll be able to experience the festivities and joy of the national Ólavsøka holiday.

Autumn Landscape and Photography Trips

Autumn Faroe Islands travel packages are amazing for photography-focused travel, when the moody skies, the golden sunlight at sunset, and the possibility of seeing the mystical Northern Lights in this remote setting appeal to photographers of all experience levels.

The trails remain largely snow-free, ensuring photographers can venture around waterfalls, fjords and cliffs, while the morning mist, the stunning colours of the trees and foliage, and the first dustings of snow at the mountain tops all make for outstanding photography opportunities.

Winter and New Year Escapes

While remote island exploration requires a little more planning in the winter, the archipelago transforms into a wonderland, with snowy scenery, powerful sea waves, and more frequent Aurora Borealis sightings. Braver guests can try ice-dipping in the sea, while others prefer the cosiness of staying inside watching the wild weather by a roaring fire.

For a true taste of Nordic charm, winter travel is unbeatable, and the Christmas markets, Winter Jazz Festival and twinkling lights in Tórshavn make this a backdrop for an unforgettable escape, enjoying a celebration of New Year's like no other.

Hi Michael, 

I had a wonderful time on the Faroe Islands.  The flights were very good, on time going  out as it was hot and sunny at both ends.  Coming back the plane circled quite a few times at Vagar before the mist cleared enough for it to land, so we were an hour late leaving, but there is nothing you can do about the weather.

I was fascinated by the number of sheep breeds, both on the islands and in each flock, I didn't know there were so many varieties.  The tours were very interesting and the minibus arrived on time every day.  The only problems, if they can be called that, were that most days we covered the same route from Thorshavn as there is only the one road, and because of that and there being different people each day we heard the same descriptions.  After the  third time I knew it by heart.  I booked a tour to Sandoy on the Sunday, that was really interesting.  In the end, I didn't go to Mykenes, the weather was bad with very strong winds.  Those who went, were strong experienced walkers and a lot said that they struggled, particularly on the climb from the ferry, instead I stayed on the minibus and went to Gaesaladur, which I really liked.  The included meals on the tours were excellent.

There were some very good restaurants in Thorshavn, expensive, but I knew that would be the case, the Angus Steakhouse was particularly good, especially the lamb (even if it was from New Zealand).

The hotel was the only disappointment.  It was in a good location and the breakfast was good. Having said that, the lift was dodgy, I had to get a chambermaid to help me with it as I was checking out.  Also there was a huge pipe outside my bedroom window, making quite a noise right through the night, it was made worse because I had to have the window open.

During the course of the week, I met people of many nationalities, mostly European, but some from Australia and Israel.  We had a lot of laughs and some interesting conversations.  Best of all, I saw Brits at the airport on arrival and didn't see them again until departure.  Result!

All the arrangements made by you went like clockwork, the pick ups to and from the airport, flights, hotel and tours.  The only other point I would make is that, unless you intend spending a lot of time walking and climbing, one week is long enough on the Islands.

Thank you for making all the arrangements.

Regards,

Joan

Thanks Daina, both Martin and l enjoyed our trip to the Faroes, it all went very smoothly and even the weather behaved itself for most of the time.

The trips were great although l would note that the walk on Mykinnes is very steep, even getting from the boat onto the island involved well over 150 steep steps.
Thanks for your help in organising all this.

Brst wishes

Gillian

Hi Laura,

Happy new year to you too..

Thank you for your email.. yes we had the most fantastic time in the Faroe Islands and Copenhagen.  Everything went smoothly.. our hotels were lovely.. 

The only small let down is that there possibly could be a transfer to the hotels, as the taxi fares are so expensive and we had to use them quite often.. so it might be a good idea to organise a transfer in with the trip price.

Finally, I would like to take  this opportunity to thank Baltic Travel for a wonderful, memorable trip and have attached some photos of the Faroes.

Kind regards,

Karen

Dear Julija,

Thank you for your 'welcome home' email. I really enjoyed our trip - the only complaint was that it was too short. Thank you for organising everything. I have seen Norman's reply to you and can only endorse what he said. He may well have sent you some photographs by now. I haven't sorted out my pictures yet but will email you a few when I have done so.

I have other friends who are interested in Scandinavia so will bear Baltic Travel in mind if we decide on one of the countries you mention for a holiday another year.

With best wishes,

Sheila

Dear Julija,

Many thanks for your welcome e-mail.  It was very kind of you to write and very thoughtful of you to remember that we returned home yesterday (Monday) from our visit to the Faroe Islands.

I'm very pleased to report that all arrangements for the visit to the Faroes worked very well.  Independently, and knowing we had two nights at Hotel Vágar (opposite the airport), we had booked a boat trip which was supposed to show you the spectacular Vestmanna cliffs, in the extreme north-west of the main island, Streymoy, and then to go on to the small, isolated island of Mykines.  Sadly, the Mykines part of the trip was cancelled on the day.  It's a very difficult island to get to, so we'll have to try again sometime!  Everything else worked very much according to plan.  The weather was a bit grim on Thursday - with rain and more rain - but, otherwise, the weather was reasonably kind, ranging from "OK" to "very good".  In "very good" conditions the scenery in the Faroes is simply magnificent!

I think we may have mentioned that we are all members of the Faroe Islands Study Circle, a special-interest society for philatelists (stamp collectors!) interested in the postage stamps and postal history of the Faroes.  (Roger is the Chairman, John the Treasurer, I'm the Secretary and Journal Editor and Sheila is a founder member).  Because of this, one of our highlights was the pre-arranged visit we made to the postal headquarters on Wednesday where we had what was in effect a VIP visit to the postal HQ in Tórshavn, with a guided tour, coffee and cakes and a good chance to chat to two of our friends who work there.

I should also mention the cultural evening in Gjógv which you so kindly arranged for us later that same day.  As you know, we were all disappointed when we knew we wouldn't be staying in Gjógv as it's a beautiful little village in an amazing setting where we had stayed in 1993 and 1996.  I hope our disappointment didn't come across as a complaint as that was never intended.  To have an opportunity to attend the cultural evening was extremely welcome.  The evening itself - a buffet, live music and Faroese chain-dancing - was both interesting and rewarding but so too was the time we spent in the village for a while beforehand.

I have much to do on my return, including a despatch of the latest Study Circle newsletter

 http://faroeislandssc.org/members/newsletter46_da6aa3b4734d79a3def713c772e82100.pdf

but as soon as I've found time to download my photos (and I took rather too many!) I'll put together a montage of photos on one or two A4 sheets and will send them to you.  If it takes a few days to do this I hope you'll accept my apologies.

With thanks, on behalf of Sheila, John, Roger and I, for all the time and effort you put in to arranging our itinerary.  As I said, it all worked perfectly.

Very best wishes,

Norman
