6 days - Family Adventure tour with local and authentic experiences
Adrift in the frothing swells of the North Atlantic, this mysterious 18-piece jigsaw puzzle of islands is at once ancient and very modern. The proud, long-suffering Faroese character has been forged from Viking blood, Christian piety, Scandinavian openness and an awe for the humbling nature that's all around.
This family tour of the Faroes takes you to the bird cliffs of Mykines, the beautiful village of Saksun with its natural amphitheatre of cliffs and the village of Gjógv. You will meet the Faroe Island ponies for a horse riding tour, meeting this one-of-a-kind breed close to nature. Head off for an adventurous rib boating experience or enjoy family hiking to a bloody Viking battle ground from 700 years ago.
