Guided Walking in the Faroe Islands

Due to the changeable nature of the weather, your guide will chose the best walks given the forecast and their knowledge of the vagaries of conditions on different islands so that you have the best change of enjoying the views to their fullest extent.

Whilst there is a wide network of trails open to the public, a lot of the Faroe Islands is privately owned farmland, having a guide means that you can also access some walks that would be unavailable without their assistance. Some of the trails that are open to the public require passes to be purchased and your can will arrange these for you.

Best time to go

Despite their northerly location, the Faroes enjoy surprisingly mild temperatures thanks to the tail end of the Gulf Stream which tempers the chill. Strong winds and frequent rainfall are part of daily life, which summer highs usually around 15°C. If you want to escape the heat of summer, then the Faroe Islands is a great option!

Arrive expecting a mix of cloud and rain along with days of sunshine and endless views. Most visitors choose to come between May and August, the driest and warmest months, with July and August being peak season. In summer, the islands’ northern latitude means long days and near-twilight nights, when mountain silhouettes linger against the sky. Between May and August you can expect 16 to 20 hours of daylight.
