Tours of Faroe Islands

With over 200 holidays to choose from, KE Adventure Travel has one of the very best collections of trekking and walking holidays worldwide. Graded on a scale from 1 to 12, we have holidays to suit everyone. Our tougher treks are likely to involve multi-day hikes through wilderness regions, with porter support and tented accommodation. Whilst at the other end of the scale, our softer walking holidays are more likely to be hotel or lodge-based with a day-walk format and an emphasis on uncovering the area's history, culture and cuisine. From our earliest days we've developed a range of treks that include celebrated classics such as Peru's Inca Trail trek, the ascent of Tanzania's Kilimanjaro and the ever popular Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal. Alongside these, we have always made it a priority to seek out distinctive and unique itineraries in less familiar areas such as Armenia, Cameroon, Madagascar and Burma. Whichever of our trekking or walking holidays you choose to undertake, you can be sure you'll enjoy breaking out of your day-to-day routine and exploring exotic landscapes on foot, with the chance to experience different cultures.

Far Out in the Faroe Islands

This summer walking holiday in the remote Faroe Islands is really something special. A little over 400 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle, these islands have long been admired for their unspoiled natural beauty. Recently named by the National Geographic as the 'number 1 best trip to take this year', the Faroe Islands certainly live up to their reputation. The miles of rugged coastline, colourful fishing villages, amazing bird-life and vivid wild flowers combine to provide a distinctive and unforgettable 'great outdoors' experience. The location of the islands make them a stopping off point for many species of migratory birds and a breeding ground for others. Standing out amongst these is everybody's favourite, the puffin. During the summer, the days are long and our 1-week walking holiday gives us ample opportunity to explore several key locations on no fewer than 5 of the Faroe Islands. We enjoy 6 days of easy walking and exploration amongst some of Europe's most amazing landscapes. After a first night at our hotel on the island of Vagar, we start out with a boat trip to the small island of Mykines, home to thousands of puffins. Travelling by boat is a way of life for the Faroese and our short inter-island hops give us an insight into the history and culture of this far-flung archipelago. As a part of our exploration, we spend time in several coastal settlements where some of the brightly painted houses retain their traditional Faroese turf-clad roofs. After a second hike on Vagar, we drive to the village of Gjogv on the island of Eysturoy for another amazing coastal walk. A second boat trip then takes us to the most southerly island in the group, Suduroy, where we spend 2 nights and can immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Faroes. Returning to the Faroese capital of Torshavn, we have time for a final walk and for some souvenir shopping, before saying goodbye to these magical islands.
