WHY TRAVEL TO THE FAROE ISLAND?:

Perched in the North Atlantic Ocean, only a short flight from mainland Europe, the jagged cliffs of the Faroe Islands will take your breath away. Tall mountains, narrow fjords, steep cliffs, this is a true adventure destination. Not necessarily for the active nature of a visit, but for the feeling of remoteness and isolation.

To us, the Faroe Islands are a hidden secret not sought by many - and spending time here will give you an unforgettable experience of remote living at the edge of the open sea.

Why not get off the beaten track and experience all that Faroe Island have to offer on the Treasures of the Faroe Islands self-drive . Up close birdlife, green nuances of the mountains, colourful villages, deep fjords and untouched nature. As Faroe Islands are known for their florescent green colour, visitors will need to enjoy the pleasure of wet weather and rain!

The islands are well known for fishing, specialising in mackerel. It has a very small population with little villages scattered around the island and to access walks on Faroe Island, you need to search higgledy piggledy roads and ask an occasional local.

OUR FAROE ISLAND TOURS CAN INCLUDE:

When visiting Faroe Islands you are never more than 5km from the ocean and with over two million pairs of seabirds our Highlights of the Faroe islands tour will let you experience countryside dominated by steep mountains and small towns. You get to explore Tórshavn with easy guided day trips to your top points of interest.

If you love hiking, nature and outdoor activities the Faroe Islands is a dream destination. On our Hiking in the Faroe Islands self-drive tour you don't need to go far to experience outstanding and unspoiled nature. You can set the pace and agenda for your tour, but we will guide you along the way with a proposed program, so you don't miss anything.

Of course, you can discover the Faroe Islands for yourself on a Faroe Islands Active Short break and all our tours can easily be combined with a range of Iceland or Denmark tours.

We had an amazing trip and I can only recommend it to others. We got to see all the beautiful views and sights, and we had a very unique experience :-)

Ida Christine Brehmer

I cannot rate this highly enough. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would! The tour lasted 7.5 hours (after she had checked with the 3 of us involved if going over the 7 hours would be okay). We did a 250km round trip stopping at so many points of outstanding natural beauty. Elsa Marie is extremely knowledgeable and so we gained a huge insight into the history and culture of the Faroe Islands. She is very personable, friendly and thoughtful. She came equipped with tea, coffee, water and snacks as well as spare waterproofs for us. She also made sure we had sufficient comfort breaks. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her. Elsa Marie said that she would send us photos and videos of the trip afterwards and we received that very promptly after the tour. However this was not just an ordinary e-mail with videos and photos attached. She had used the relive app and we received a wonderful memento, plotting our journey along a maps with all the stops we made along with accompanying photos and videos highlighted at the relevant stops along the way. Absolutely first class service.I cannot thank Elsa Marie enough for making the whole day such a wonderful and enjoyable trip. I highly recommend this to others. She goes over and beyond any tour guide I have ever been with.Thank you so much Elsa Marie. I loved every minute of the trip!

Michelle Newcombe

Elsa Maria was amazing! I can’t believe how much beauty we saw in one day. I am just so in awe of this place and she made the experience even more fulfilling.

Jessica Goldman

This trip was outstanding! We were on the road for almost 8,5 hours (1 and a1/2 hour more than planned) but time just flew by and we had a great time. Elsa Maria is a lady (with big L) who really sets the standard, she has a great personality, has a clever sense of humor, and she really knows how to treat her customers / travellers. She proudly present her island, and what it has to offer, and she rightly do so! Would recommend this trip for everyone, and especially if you are at Faroe Island for just a short periode of time.

Highly recommend trip that covers a huge array of breathtaking sights. Elsa Marie is the perfect guide; knowledgeable, pleasant and brings that extra personal touch to the experience. Would recommend to everyone visiting the Faroe Islands!

Elin Ibsen Gustavsen

a wonderful trip. Beautiful wild landscapes. A big thank you to our guide Elsa Maria who is a warm storyteller full of humor and kindness. Thank you very much for sharing the story of the Faroe isle.

I just wanted to highlight the warm welcome and magnificent experience I had doing this tour with Elsa Maria.For sure the country is beautiful, but this guide loves her country and makes every stone alive!Thanks again to her!

Where is the Faroe Islands?

Located between Great Britain, Iceland and Norway, the Faroe Islands are placed in the middel of the Atlantic Ocean. The Faroe Islands consists of 18 mountainous islands, with a total area of 1,4 square kilometres of land and 274,000 square kilometres of sea area. The total population of the Faroe Islands is 53,000 people (2021) with more people coming in. 40% of all the people lives in Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands. Tórshavn is in the top 20 of the World’s smallest capital cities both by population and size.

Why visit the Faroe Islands?

The Faroe Islands are unique and beautiful in so many ways. First thing mentioning is the stunning scenery and the unharmed, raw nature. It's a visually unique place with green mountains, crashing waterfalls and colorful villages. If you like shaggy sheeps the Faroe Islands got that covered as well. With a population above 75.000, the sheeps outnumber humans. Tórshavn offers plenty activities. ’The Nordic House’ is one of it’s kind for many cultural events. Tórshavn also offer great restaurants, theatres, museums, concert halls and nightlife opportunities.

Is the Faroe Islands a country?

The Faroe Islands are a self-governing nation under the external sovereignty of Denmark (DK). The Faroe Islands have exclusive competence to legislate and govern the conservation and management of the country independently. Although Denmark is a member state of the EU, the Faroe Islands have chosen to remain outside the EU. The majority of the Faroe Islands wealth comes from the fishing-industry and they therefore negotiate their own trade- and fisheries agreements with the EU.

What's the weather like in the Faroe Islands?

The Faroe Islands are one of the least sunny places in the world. Cloudy skies are the norm here. On a usual day it’s not uncommon to expierence both rough wind and rain, but also sunbeams. This given the high latitudes. Summerdays are long, up to 19 hours between May to July. During summer season nights doesn’t get completely dark; a phenomenon known as ”The White Nights”. The average temperature is between 3°C during winters season and 13°C during the summer. So, temperatures are quite mild and chill all year around. In winter season it’s possible to experience mild freezing temperatures and maybe catch some Northern Lights.

What language do they speak in the Faroe Islands?

The native language of the Faroe Islands is called ’Faroese’. Historically the language is divided into spoken language and written language. The spoken language derives from the old Germanic language, the root of all Nordic languages. It originated over 1200 years ago, when Viking age settlers discovered the islands. Spoken Faroese therefore reminds of other Nordic languages like Icelandic and Norwegian. The written language is quite young though, as it originated in the late 1800s. Faroese is one of the smallest existing languages in the world, therefore it’s currently not easy to translate directly if using common online translation sites.

What currency does the Faroe Islands use?

There are two equal currencies in the Faroe Islands; the Faroese krone (FOK) and the Danish krone (DKK). The Faroese goverment prints its own banknotes, but only Danish coins are used. Both Faroese and Danish notes are equally accepted all over. It’s not commonly accepted to use other currencies than FOK and DKK as fiat money in the Faroe Islands. Therefore credit cards are the obvious choice for turists here. Either VISA, MasterCard, Eurocard, Maestro and JCB is accepted in most shops, restaurants, hotels, etc., but be aware that American Express is more rarely accepted. It’s also possible to withdraw fiat money from one of the many ATMs around the Faroe Islands.

Our Faroe Island Tours Are Loved By People Just Like You

When traveling to the Faroe Islands we would definitely recommend choosing REMÓT travel to experience this unspoiled and untamed Island group. Very unique and individual service with a 24/7 ‘hotline’ with our guide Rasmus who was extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Thanks to Rasmus we saw the islands from land, sea and air! If you are a foodie, don’t leave before eating at Koks!

Amazing that REMÓT Travel has launched in the Faroe Islands! High-quality experiences, inclusive of the locals, and a way to authentically discover the place, an amazing new option for travelers and an important addition to the Faroese hospitality space, as a whole.

During our trip to the Faroe Islands, we could  not have been in better hands than with Remote Travel.  We did such a variety of activities  (as per our requests and Romote travel suggestions) and were so pleased with all of them.  Our guides (all Faroese) were terrific responding to any extra requests we had and our accommodation was the best the Faroes has to offer.  We loved the Faroe Islands and found the Faroese people an absolute joy to be with.

REMOT Travel has a very special place in our hearts: REMOT planned, organised and executed our trip to the Faroe Islands in the autumn of 2021 and did so to absolute perfection. We stayed in lovely cottages, explored and wandered the countryside and hills, dined at the Michelin-star KOKS restaurant, sailed the fjords and just genuinely loved the trip, the hosts and guides as well as the Faroe people. Would highly recommend anyone planning that special trip for you and your special one(s) to call on the REMOT team.

No Stuffy, Boring, and Disconnected Group Tours

Most other tours, the remót travel tours, 5 reasons to book your faroes islands tour with us.

Our concept is built around remoteness, hence the name REMÓT. We want to enable travelers to discover the remote corners of our planet - fittingly starting with the Faroe Islands. This Remoteness is also reflected in our REMÓT Retreat accommodations, pearls that combine the sense of escape with Faroese authenticity.

Centred around locals

Our REMÓT Journeys are designed and centered around the locals, whether having dinner with the local farmer, fishing with the local fisherman, or going hiking with a local guide. We always provide REMÓT travelers with the opportunity to truly get a strong feel for the local environment, discovering local cultures, traditions, and nuances. We believe this is what makes for the most immersive and insightful travel experiences.

Sustainable approach to travel

The Faroese have lived alone and isolated on the Faroe Islands for over a millennia. Hence, we are still getting used to the new reality of becoming a more active and visible player on the world map - and this is also true for Faroese tourism. We believe that the best way to evolve Faroese tourism is through incremental steps, inviting locals to participate in every step of the way. Hence, at REMÓT, we have ensured to invite truly local players - from farmers to fishers to nature enthusiasts - to participate in our REMÓT Experiences. This way, locals are provided with an opportunity to participate in the growing tourism and actively define the conversations surrounding this segment. This, we believe, is the most sustainable approach to tourism in the Faroe Islands.

Faroese born

We are Faroese born. The founders are Faroese, the company is Faroese, and all affiliates are Faroese. This is one of our core strengths in allowing our travelers to gain insights about the Faroese culture and explore local treasures. In a country of only 50,000 people, relationships carry weight in the Faroe Islands. By being local, we are best positioned to nurture these relationships and unlock genuinely local experiences.

The most unique accommodations

Accommodation options are central to our travel experiences. We provide REMÓT Travelers with two accommodation options: Cottage Retreat and Hotel Relief. In both cases, the accommodations have been carefully viewed and selected. Cottage Retreat offers hand-vetted remote accommodations around the Faroe Islands, situated in slow-moving and charming villages.

Hotel Relief offers best-in-class hotel accommodations with trusted partners, showcasing Faroese luxury and comfort from its best side.
