• Explore Gjógv village and gorge
• Tour Funningsfjørður Fjord waterfalls

The experience

The tour starts with pickup from your hotel and heads to Vágar Island to see Múlafossur waterfall, where water drops from a cliff straight into the sea. From there you move to Streymoy Island to explore Fossá waterfall, then continue along the Funningsfjørður Fjord, where the guide points out cascading waterfalls running down the mountainside as you drive.

The final stop is Saksun, a village tucked into a valley on Streymoy where multiple waterfalls find their way down the hillside. The village sits at the head of a lagoon, and the waterfalls are the main reason to come here. The guide leads you through the landscape and explains what you're seeing as you move between stops. The whole day, including the drive between islands, takes six hours.

An air-conditioned vehicle carries the group, and the guide speaks English throughout. If you're traveling with infants or small children, specialized infant seats and pram space are available. Public transportation options exist nearby if you prefer to meet the tour at a specific stop instead of hotel pickup.

Top questions

How close do you actually get to Múlafossur waterfall on this tour?

Múlafossur waterfall on Vágar Island is one of the main stops, and you get close enough to see the water drop from the cliff to the sea. The guide takes you to the viewpoint where the waterfall is most visible.

What's the difference between Fossá and the other waterfalls on this tour?

Fossá is a separate waterfall on Streymoy Island that the tour visits as its own stop. Saksun, also on Streymoy, is a village where many waterfalls cascade down the hillside together, so you see multiple falls in one place rather than a single waterfall.

Does the tour include time to walk around Saksun village, or is it just a drive-by?

The tour includes time to explore Saksun village itself, where the guide takes you along the landscape to see the waterfalls descending into the valley. It is not a quick stop.

Is this tour private or shared with other travelers?

The tour operates as a shared group experience with an English-speaking guide. Hotel pickup is included, and the vehicle is air-conditioned.

Can I do this tour if I'm not very fit, or if I'm traveling with young children?

The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and specialized infant seats are available in the vehicle.
