I spent exactly one week on the Faroe Islands working together with the local tourism board to show you an interesting mix of the best things to do in the faroe islands from outdoor adventures, iconic panoramas and food experiences to one of the largest festivals in the country named „G! Festival“.
Beside checking out the local attractions I got the chance to truly live like a local - I stayed with a local family for a few days, got invited by farmers for dinner and went hiking with one of the most famous outdoor adventurers.
Together with travel blogger Amanda Williams I rented a car and went on a road trip to the most popular instagram hot spots, got to do sea kayaking and said hi to Puffins on Mykines island. Visiting the annual G! festival was the perfect finish to a memorable trip…topping it off with a helicopter flight. What a ride!
This trip was executed within 7 days - following I list all the places I visited & Things to do in the Faroe Islands:
- Traelanipa (hiking with Reika Adventures)
- Torshavn
- Gasadalur & Mulafossur
- Hoyvik (sea kayaking with NEX)
- Mykines (Puffins & Lighthouse hike)
- Tjornuvik
- Gjógv
- Vidareidi & Cape Enniberg
- Gota
- G! Festival
- Helicopter flight with Atlantic Airways

Do you plan a trip to the Faroe Islands? Here I gathered all information based on my trip: www.back-packer.org/things-to-do-faroe-islands-itinerary/
How can I travel to Faroe Islands
I'm here from Dubai
BackPacker Steve it’s a paradise.
i live in the faroe islands.
@@leraestores1701 Take a JET Plane to haul you down and safely land on their mini convertible air port. Just kidding!
Paradise and nice place so peaceful i want to go there im from Philippines
I love Faroe Islands. So beautiful
I always see this beautiful place whenever I watch movie like vikings, etc.
Simply _spectacular_ group of islands - inhabited by honest, hardworking & very friendly people!
AND BLOOD THIRSTY, TOO!
@@lindanorris2455 Sure, we should all eat grass, it doesn't have (red) blood! 😆
@@sharkamov there's a difference between hunting for necessity and hunting for the fun of it. Karma will get you some day. ;)
Amazing People and a Fantastic Island. God bless everyone richly.
Holy.... Steve, these islands are absolutely stunning! I may not visit them in the next year, but now it's absolutely on my list. The landscape is just unreal. It's different. It's not alpine like Patagonia and the European Alps. The unique blend of green and cliffs next to the sea are mesmerizing. Even as much as you've seen of the world, this must have been a real treat!
It is totally like that - a very unique place with an incredible landscape...and the people are so welcoming and friendly (at least in my experience) which is even more surprising if you see the weather conditions they have to deal with every day. I want to go back soon as there are so many cool places I haven't seen / hiked to yet ;)
Go in the summer and take part in a mass slaughter! czcams.com/video/ep2-_ofP19Q/video.html
Hello Raúl!! Yes, the Faroe Islands are magnificent and a place to go soon!! But, I'm afraid you're completely wrong: Patagonia, in Argentina, my country, it's not at all "Alpine"!!!!! It's "Andean" and it has a unique landscaspe, a mixture of mountains over 6.000 m, glaciars (including the only one that advances, 80 m high), petrified woods, lakes and fast-flowing rivers, falls, deserted steppes, volcanos, dinosaur fossils, salt flats, and deep green valleys, the Valdivian Jungle, flamingoes, whales, orcas, dolphins, walruses, penguins, maras, guanacos, pumas, more than 232 species of birds, plus sheep as cute as those from the Faroes, etc, etc!!! Perhaps you have never been in our beloved and definitively not Alpine-like Patagonia? If not, I'm inviting you to visit my land whenever you want. Love from the South, Lil
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
nice video. I myself live in The Faroe Islands. And i believe i don't see it as beautiful as you see it. But still it's truly a paradise made of lava
Faroe Islands is a beautiful and mystic country.
Thanks for share it... incredible island!
Islands*
- 1:10 My. God. 😍
Very jealous. I wish I was a bird and could fly through this landscape. Simply amazing!
That's what I'm thinking of to become a bird you can fly anywhere,anyplace so beautiful place natural beauty and not crowded peace 😊😍
Me too 😭😭😭
Don't be a puffin. These are caught and killed there too.....
Beautiful landscape
Faroe islands are amazing! What a paradise! Thanks for the great list of places to visit and things to do, beautiful video!
Thank you - it was a pleasure to film this episode for sure!
Im lucky to live in the Faroe Islands:)
NOT IF YOU ARE A PILOT WHALE OR A DOLPHIN!
Good work!
beautiful country.
It is a paradise how wonderful.
This is heaven
Beautiful. I‘ll stay here for one year.
The place i really wanted to visit. Landscpe is amazing, the people and the environment..
Looks beautiful. I’d like to visit sometime.
Faroe Islands looks beautiful awesome and incredible. I would love to go there oneday.
beautiful island, one day I wil be there, thanks for your information, greeting from Indonesia
Looks gorgeous
Que Bonito lugar. Hermoso de verdad Thanks for Share. Saludos desde CDMX.
You just gained a sub from a local! I love seeing nature shots and videos of landscapes :D
Wow! Love this place and the islands. Wish I could visit! Start putting on my bucket list.
so really amazing i like the beautiful place in the world
So beautiful islands... Maybe someday I'll be lucky to see them.
I have to say that it was a pleasure to watch this video. The equipment, cameras, drones, background music was all done so professionally making it very enjoyable. I watch a lot of CZcams and 99.8% of uploaded videos are absolute garbage. Amateur would be an understatement. Yours is a delight.
+Chris McMahon thank you, very flattering!
That's it??? How could you have left out the annual killing of the whales--you know, where they drag them into the shallows and fill the water with that pretty red color? Surely, there must have been room/time to show that lovely spectacle. I heard it is a real tourist attraction. I hear the best way to go, is first see the slaughter, then go straight to a rock concert--gets you in the mood. Years and years later, you can show the photos and all those tranquil memories--what a serene place.
Amazing video bro!!!
ok..now this is on my bucket list. I would LOVE to spend a week there.
One of favourite place along with Iceland. Oneday I will visit there.
What a beautiful view😍
My dream to visit Faroe Island!!!💕💞💞😎😎😎👋👋👋
Hi Steve. I liked your video. post more, is always a pleasure to see something well filmed and explained. Thank you.
This is what pleasant dreams are made of. Gorgeous!
Enjoy this very much but some of the musical background I could do without.
I GOT MY DOLPHIN CHOPPER UPPER, I AM READY TO GO!
I ve been im that Island what a beautifull place. sorry that i went working an did not have time to go around, only saw by choper. Even from Brazil hot country i hope some day go there agaim
I saw the "Includes paid promotion" and thought, -let me guess, Visit Faroe Islands?
"So I was invited by visit Faroe Islands."
*spits my drink* -I KNEW IT!
Yes I got invited by Visit Faroe Islands but was totally free to set up my own itinerary and had a rental car to explore on my own. Visit Faroe Islands invited me for the G Festival but I wanted to see also the nature and as much of the islands as possible so we extended my stay and got to work with local guides.
I'm always transparent about my cooperations and only work with Partners who accept my terms and align with my travel style and audience. My videos are totally free to watch for everyone - video productions like this wouldn't be possible in the long run without external support.
I live in faro island
Hi ms Katrin Petersen
Can you please give me some advice how can I visit Faroe Islands
What are the steps to followed to visit your home land.
@Scamper Scamper 1 in 7.2 billion.
I want live in faro island
You are so luck and I wish to live there too
U should probably know how to spell it then
Oh. Your introduction is very good. I like it
I would like to make video like this
I fill the narasion
and the drowing the part of located is very inspiration
Wow breath taking landscape, it's really nice on film but in person.
What's the summer heatwave temperatures get to about 45 dgr F ?
I dont know what the celcius conversion would be?
You talk about hiking, and boats, and concerts with hottubs, and helicopter rides, mt climbing.
What no paragliding, hang gliding?
I could see someone powered hang gliding over the terrain, I dont think you would get a good lift for doing that without a motor on the glider.
So jumping off a cliff with a hang glider might not be a good idea.
I've only done it once, and if you have no lift you fall like a rock unless you can get the kite to catch some air.
Hey, that's the Airbnb were staying at this coming June.
got to love Visit Faroe Islands
Wow nice place
Stunning
Very nice. Truly enjoyed but will probably never go there ... from the USA

Such a great video about at amazing place!!!! Thanks for all the information!
Isola naturalistica bellissima da visitare per una settimana.per viverci no.preferisco vivere nella mia isola che è molto più calda.☀️☀️
Great job, thanks for the the video!
Hey Steve, I would love to see you making more videos in German. It is good for us to learn how to speak. ;)
Thank you for sharing the video.
Wow scenic beauty, Wow, please turn the music level down, ear splitting! Otherwise an excellent video of such an epic set of islands.
Amazing place and video, congratulataions for your choice, it's always nice see your videos, what your next step?
chaotic clip with chaotic sound!
Amazing😉
Absolutely amazing! Btw, what’s the name of the song that starts from the beginning? Thx
It was Amazed !
hi am from Indonesia... i wish i was there someday...
uh thats something special👌🏻😍
Sometimes I'm in need of those special places - and I'm even more happy if you guys like it, too!
Steve, I like your video footage. However, I could do without the music....I think that it distracts from the natural beauty of the scenes. I found myself muting the music, then I turned the volume up to hear you speak, then muted again, etc. I would rather hear the natural sounds of the environment... no music. Same goes for your other videos. Sorry to be soo critical, but I would imagine that you like to hear viewers thoughts.
+caycug1 Thanks, of course I do! My goal is to enable people to see and hear the nature themselves by giving advice and tips how to do so and where to go. Music is an important element to keep the story together and have the majority watching (attention span would be very low otherwise). On top of that there is not much sound recorded as it is nostly wind noises I could record with the strong winds there. However I'm thinking about including more natural sounds and having other elements and future videos..i might even do a proper, slower documentary one day. Thanks for watching!
I want to see moon shine on Faroe
I would not be wandering drunk at night looking for my friends with that mountain cliff 😱😱😱
Nice video and information, thanks
Reminds me a lot of Iceland. From the ice-carved mountains to the boozy music festival. Really want to go there someday soon.
ID LOVE TO LIVE THERE
BackPacker Steve
The Feroe Islands seems interesting but your music is noxious !
Steve, I plan to travel this trip. What places did you stay overnight on this trip?

WOW! Amazing video! You remind me of my unforgettable trip to Faroe Islands in June! But so pity I don't have enough time to go to Vidareidi. I hope next time I could make it there! Is it a must to hire a guide to hiking to Enniberg? And how long it takes to up and down? Is it possible to climb to the mid pard of the mountain by myself if I just wanna have a higher view of Vidareidi? That would be a lot of help. Thx Steve!:)
Hey Frank - you can do it without a guide but as I was there during a foggy time I really appreciated the help (it would have been difficult to navigate as you could barely see..but it was clear on the way back) but also the info I got. The hike up to the mountain before crossing over to Enniberg is easily doable as the path is clearly visible.
BackPacker Steve Thx for reply Steve! How long does it take to hike up and down? And if I hire a guide how much does it cost usually?:)
You should factor in about 4-5h for getting up to Enniberg, enjoying it and getting back down...but it all depends on weather and your fitness level.
Regarding guides you are looking at more or less 160€ per day, depending on the activity - e.g. if you are a party of 4 this splits into about 40€ p.P.
Thx for your useful information Steve! Plan to try climbing in late February, hope it won't be too tough:)
Frank Bai just have to say good luck if you want to climb anywhere here in February, already many tourists having problems in the mountains in summertime:) anyway wish you a good trip if you come here:)
I live in Spain do i need visa to visit the FI
Mø is danish so only a little international that one ;)
