2021 Sailing and exploring the Faroe Islands

Join Narwhal in Torshavn, the principal town of the Faroe Islands brimming with its own brand of Norse culture. Torshavn is a easily reached by transport links from the island’s airport in Vagur. The vibrant green mountains and geological strata make the Faroe Islands a fascinating location to explore under sail with the Mulatossa waterfall a favourite to photograph.

Following initial safety briefings, we will be heading out of port and set sail for the first time. The waters around Torshavn provide the perfect opportunity to get used to the boat and get a first glimpse of the local wildlife. There will be plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in the unique scenery of the Faroese landscape as towering cliffs and waterfalls plunge directly into the ocean. We might even undertake our first whale survey.

The main part of the expedition will see us exploring the best sailing and scenery that the Faroe Islands have to offer, surrounded by towering sea cliffs and flocks of soaring sea birds. Exactly where we go each day will be determined by the weather conditions, using the intricate systems of fjords between the islands we will always find somewhere special to visit, enjoying a front-row view of the scenery and wildlife. Throughout you will have the chance to get as involved as you like in sailing as well as our ocean research projects such as microplastics sampling and wildlife surveying. In the afternoons and evenings, we will choose one of the many sheltered and secluded anchorages allowing you time to enjoy other activities, including photography, hiking and fishing. Joining us for a beach clean, maybe try your hand at paddleboarding or simply relax and enjoy the easy pace of life far from the hectic modern world.

We will spend our final day enjoying the unique scenery of the Faroe Islands before heading into port in Torshavn. We will moor up for the night and enjoy our final evening on board with a nice dinner and time to swap stories, highlights and pictures from the expedition.

*The exact itinerary that we follow will be chosen each day by your skipper to make the best use of the weather conditions.
