Faroe Islands Far and Away

*Depending on your departure point and airline of choice: you may need to depart June 2 in order to be ready for van departure from Vagar at Noon on June 4, 2021.

Your journey to the Faroe Islands begins with an overnight flight to Vagar Airport (FAE), near the Village of Sorvagur. If you decide to fly a day early and overnight on the way to Denmark or in Vagar itself please contact Strabo Tours and we can provide options that will fit your schedule. (meals on plane)

At approximately Noon (exact time to be announced) you will be picked up at the airport and depart with photo opportunities along the way to your accommodation. The islands are relatively small and driving to various locations is more weather dependent than location dependent, therefore the following are various photographic locations your guides will plan on reaching, however it may not be possible to visit all of them on your journey.

You will feel like you are in an episode of the Game of Thrones, exploring this remote and mysterious land alongside fellow photographers. It will be important to remain flexible, trust your local driver guides who will navigate the changing weather patterns each day. Return to your hotel each evening which are ensuite accommodations and have Wi-Fi. Given the timing each day and weather there may be time mid-day or in the evening for photo discussion or lecture.

Faroe has some of the most picturesque landscapes. At every turn, the vistas will astound you. This is one of our planet’s most fascinating and unique environments. Some of the highlights during your time on the Faroe Islands will consist of Gjogv, Gasadalur waterfall, Sorvagsvatn, Saksun, Tjornuvik, Funningur, Nordradalur, and Sornfelli. There will be many more photo ops along the way during your time here that your drivers will share with you.

Gjogv is a friendly and authentic village offering the perfect place to explore the North and East parts of the archipelago. Saksun is another picturesque village with a charming church, waterfall, grassy rooftops and a fjord as backdrop. If the weather cooperates you can capture a beautiful sunrise at Tjornuvik village. Then there is Funningur church located right next to the crashing waves. (B, D each day)
