Sightseeing Tour to Vágar Island from Tórshavn

The sightseeing trip to Vágar departs from Tórshavn, the capital city of the Faroe Islands, located on the largest island, Steymoy. Vágar is one of the western islands in the Faroe Islands, home to dramatic rugged landscapes. As the location of Vágar Airport, the island serves as the primary gateway to the archipelago.

Your sightseeing tour of Vágar Island begins with pick-up from your chosen accommodation in Tórshavn (please specify when booking). An experienced guide will greet you and go through the day's itinerary. Then, you'll set off driving towards Vágar, travelling on an old mountain road. Along the way, you'll be treated to mesmerising panoramic views. If the weather permits, you'll stop for a quick break at Norðadalsskarð, a stunning mountain pass offering views of the surrounding cliffs, fjords and villages. Then, you'll drive to Vágar through an undersea tunnel.

Upon arrival at the island, you'll pass by three charming villages and Vágar Airport, before reaching the first stop at the enchanting village of Gásadalur. This village is home to the beautiful Múlafossur Waterfall, which offers one of the most iconic views in the Faroe Islands. The waterfall was completely remote until 2006 when a tunnel through the mountain was constructed. From there, you'll visit Sandavágur, one of the oldest and most historically significant villages in Vágar.

Then, you'll embark on a scenic walk with the guide from Sandavágur to Trøllkonufingur - the Witches Finger. This dramatic rock pillar rises sharply from the sea on Vágar’s southern coast. The guide will share the local legend about Trøllkonufingur, which tells the story of a troll who was turned to stone by the sunlight. During your sightseeing tour in Vágar, you'll learn more about its rich history and folklore from the knowledgeable guide. Lunch and drinks are also included during the trip. After your hike to Trøllkonufingur, you'll begin the return journey to your original pick-up point in Tórshavn.
