Travel far and away with Dan Anderson to explore and photograph with your local cultural guide. The local driver guides are also photographers, therefore they know what to expect, and will get you to breath-taking locations each day. Faroe landscapes are comprised of fantastic fjords, rugged steep cliffs, crashing waves on the Atlantic coastline, and traditional villages. With the constantly changing weather conditions you can experience different seasons on the same day, which can present dramatic light with endless opportunities to capture beautiful images. Your guides know how to navigate the ever changing weather, getting you to terrific locations.

The Faroe Islands are comprised of eighteen islands lying about half-way between Norway and Iceland. Since 1948 Faroe has been a self-governing nation under the Kingdom of Denmark (however they are not members of the European Union). The first known settlers are thought to be Irish Monks. Today 90% of the exports come from fishing, and although tourism is growing tourists are few and far between. You will appreciate this fact in the tranquility of being able to photograph in this remote region.

Join accomplished photographer and guide Dan Anderson, he invites you on his return visit to the Faroe Islands.

June 3: Home

*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)

June 4-9: Vagar - Torshavn, Faroe Islands

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)

June 10: Vagar - Home

Estimated flight departure times should be about 8:30AM given current schedules, times may be adjusted as we get closer to departure. This information will be provided in your first packet of materials. (B)
