Introducing the Faroe Islands

One of Europe’s best-kept secrets, this mysterious destination encompasses a forgotten string of 18 islands with bright cottages and rustic beauty that melds Scandinavian heritage with a love of art and music.

When is the best time to visit?
While summer is generally the best time to visit, the weather in the Faroes changes at the drop of the hat. Expect chilly temperatures and always bring layers.

Where to go in the Faroe Islands?
Discover this seemingly untouched gem by starting at the largest island, Streymoy, and the capital Tórshavn. Take a boat tour to the bird cliffs of Vestmanna, trek the dramatic and verdantly green bluffs, island hop via the impressive network of subsea tunnels and bridges, attend a music festival or run a marathon, and eat homemade and organic Faroese food with farmers who grew it in this land that is home to more sheep than people.

How many days do I need?
Plan on spending a week, give or take, in the Faroe Islands to fit in all the charming aspects of this rustic way of life.

An Amazing Week in the Faroe Islands!

We were in the Faroe Islands from July 29-August 4, 2024. Once we got the WIFI properly installed in the car at the airport, the rest of the trip was a breeze. The driving instructions were easy to follow even though we had to change the daily itinerary due to a ferry cancellation to Mykines Island because of rough seas.

We were in the Faroe Islands from July 29-August 4, 2024. Once we got the WIFI properly installed in the car at the airport, the rest of the trip was a breeze. The driving instructions were easy to follow even though we had to change the daily itinerary due to a ferry cancellation to Mykines Island because of rough seas. The tunnels were easy to navigate as were the highways. The scenery was spectacular! Our favorite days were the Traelanipa Trail along Leitisvatn Lake to the point where it plunges into the sea, visiting the iconic Mulafossur waterfall twice, and the drive to Vidareidi on Vidoy Island with its incredible views and few tourists. Communication with Hanna before and while on the trip was super! She patiently answered our stupid questions and planned a great week for us! The accommodations were clean and adequate. Thanks, Hanna and Kimkim!

Francesca organised a fabulous trip to the Faroe Islands for us. Contact and payment in lead up to the trip was simple and quick. We were a little unlucky with weather on the trip, which unfortunately resulted in morning ferry cancellations to Mykines (we tried three days in a row!) but we appreciated Francesca and her colleague's support to keep re-booking the ferry so we could keep trying. Anytime we had little hiccups we received prompt assistance from KimKim. Highlight of the trip was a day out on Kalsoy Island (beautiful black basalt wall where James Bond gravestone is erected given scenes filmed in the iconic 'No Time to Die' film). Tip: arrive at least an hour early to get in line for the 10-car-max ferry to go across to Kalsoy Island as queues build quickly and we were unable to get the morning one, but tried again and got on the afternoon one. (also bring a phone charger+ any medication in case you get stuck there for the night if weather turns or the return ferry is full). Food can be a little hit and miss (and expensive) in Faroe Islands if you are a bit fussy like myself, but fresh fish (especially Cod) was always delightful. Despite much of our trip leaving the islands as a blanket fog of mystery with the weather, we had a great time and would book through KimKim again.

I was expecting the trip to be amazing, but it was an absolutely incredible experience and blew my expectations out of the water. From the moment I started planning, to the day we left, working with KimKim, Tummas, David, and Eydun couldn't have been better. Everyone was so helpful, the day trips were so beautiful and the schedule was flexible. The hotel was great, transportation right on time and easy, and the destinations we went to I will never forget. Best trip ever and I can't wait to come back!!
