Vágar Island Highlights | Gásadalur, Bøur & Sandavágur incl. Hike to Trælanípan
The Breathtaking Ride Around the Island of Vágar – Incl. Spectacular Hike
First, we will drive out of Tórshavn and stop at Viewpoint Tórshavn for pictures of the city from above.
After that, we will drive to the Norðadalsskarð viewpoint and enjoy the magnificent view of Norðadalur, Koltur Island, and the Trøllhøvdið islet. From there we will stop at the Mjørkadalur viewpoint and enjoy a great view of Kaldbaksfjørður. After a short drive we will then stop at the Kollafjørður viewpoint, before stopping at the EFFO station for a complimentary coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, before driving through the Vágatunnil sub-sea tunnel, the first one to open in the Faroe Islands.
From Kollafjørður we will drive to Sandavágur to visit the beautiful church and its neighbouring statue of the Hulduwoman. These are the dominant features of photography.
After this, we will drive straight across the island to Gásadalur, the remote village with the most photographed waterfall in the Faroe Islands, Múlafossur. Here you will get to enjoy our delicious homemade lunchpack.
After enjoying the beautiful and serene surroundings of Gásadalur and its view of Mykines Island, we will drive to Bøur, probably the most picturesque village in the country. A brief stop en route to take pictures of the amazing Tindhólmur islet with its many peaks. Enjoy a walk through the village and its many beautiful views.
From Bøur we will take you to the War Museum located in the old wartime buildings next to the airport. Learn about the British occupation of the Faroe Islands during the Second World War and the effects of Operation Valentine on the islands.
After the museum we will drive to the Leitisvatn/Sørvágsvatn viewpoint. Close by is the unique Nykurin (the Nix) statue with its story engraved on a plaque on the shore.
After Leitisvatn, you will be dropped off in Miðvágur, where the hike to Trælanípan (the Slave Cliff) starts. This easy-to-moderate hike of approx. 3 hours will take you to the incredible viewpoints of Trælanípan, the Bøsdalafossur waterfall, and the “Lake above the Ocean”.
After the hike, the bus will take us back to Tórshavn and drop you off at your hotel or other drop-off point.
Price per person: DKK 2.348.
