Trips and Tours. Nólsoy The trip goes from Bursatangi in Tórshavn to Nólsoy harbour. From there, current and wind direction decide which way we sail around the island of Nólsoy. If the weather is good, we sail into the enthralling caves on the island`s east side. On the southernmost point we see the well maintained lighthouse and the scenic beauty of the Spitting Woman, an intriguing, geyser-like sea phenomenon. It is also interesting to watch all the birds in the area; i.e. guillemots, razorbills, puffins, black guillemots, shags, eiders, kittiwakes and fulmars. Often we spot seals that either bask in the sun or splash through the sea. This trip is sailed twice a day at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM from Monday to Friday. On the occasion that a cruise ship is docked in the Tórshavn harbour, the first trip takes place at 6:00 AM. The trip takes about one hour and costs 300 kroner per person. Hestur The trip goes from Bursatangi in Tórshavn to the island of Hestur via the capital`s southern cape, Glyvursnes. Current and wind direction decide which way we sail around the island. If the weather is good, we sail into the deep caves in the southwestern partof the island. Slowly we move as near as possible to the rich bird life under the cliff Loftið, whose vertical wall measures some 1,200 feet from the sea to the top. Hestur harbours a lot of guillemots, puffins, black guillemots, shags, fulmars and eiders. A couple of seal caves are on the island as well and seals are often spotted in the sea.

Gjógv The trip goes from Bursatangi in Tórshavn, past the eastern coast of the capital and then through the sound between the islands of Streymoy and Eysturoy. At the northern point of Eysturoy we pass the high projecting rocks, Risin and Kellingin (the Giant and the Witch) who once upon a time in vain tried to steal the Faroe Islands and drag them all the way to Iceland! From these magnificent mythical monsters we sail to the village of Gjógv on Eysturoy. In Gjógv we moor and have dinner and coffee in Gjáargarður, the guesthouse of Gjógv. On our way back to Tórshavn we usually spot a lot of sea birds; i.e. guillemots, razorbills, puffins, black guillemots, shags, eiders, kittiwakes and fulmars. As always it is captivating to watch the drowsy seals in the caves or the curious ones swimming close to the boat. This trip begins every Tuesday at 5:00 PM. The trip takes about three hours and costs 695 kroner per person: food and hospitality in Gjáargarður included! Hvalba The trip goes from Bursatangi in Tórshavn to the capitals southern cape,Glyvursnes. We continue through the sound, Høvdasund, past the western coast of Sandoy and Skúvoy and sail all the way to our final destination, Fiskieiðið. This beautiful place is close to the village of Hvalba in our country`s southernmost island, Suðuroy. From Fiskieiðið a bus takes us to the coal mines, where an experienced coalface worker takes us all the way into the historic mines of Hvalba. Afterwards, the bus takes us to the cliff face, Norðbergseiðið, where dinner is served. And then all the participants are hooked on a rope and one by one lowered about 150 feet down to the foot of the cliff, from where the boat takes us back to Tórshavn. On our way home we pass the skerry, Norðbergsfles, and the high cliffs, Trýdrangir. We also sail into the caves, Villingagjógv and Glyvrabergsgjógv and find the perfect spot to admire the enormous cliff, Ásmundarstakkur. Between Ásmundarstakkur and Suðuroy it is very common to spot a lot of guillemots, razorbills, puffins, black guillemots, shags, eiders, kittiwakes and fulmars. Norðbergsfles is the home of many seals. The most amazing thing of all on our way back to the capital is the view of the scarlet evening sun when we pass the western coast of Sandoy.
