Day 1: Individual arrival / Gásadalur and Mykines – Majestic fjords and flying puffins
Immediately after your individual arrival, your private guide will welcome you at the airport and take you to the first highlights of your trip in a premium vehicle. On the way to the quaint village of Bøur, you will enjoy your first breathtaking views of rolling hills, deep blue fjords, and the impressive coastal landscape.
Once you arrive in Bøur, you will see the striking rock formations Drangarnir and Tindhólmur, which rise out of the water like mystical towers. The journey continues to Gásadalur. Here you can watch the waters of the fascinating Múlafossur waterfall plunge directly into the open sea. A short walk takes you to a viewpoint from where you can marvel at this impressive natural spectacle in peace and quiet.
After a leisurely lunch at a traditional farmhouse —featuring freshly prepared regional specialties—you will continue your journey to Sørvágur. There, your private boat will be waiting to take you through narrow fjords and past steep cliffs to Mykines —the "paradise of puffins."
On the island, you can stroll through the idyllic village, follow winding paths to the rugged cliffs, and catch a glimpse of the puffins as they make their daring flights around the rugged rocks.
The day ends with an authentic dinner in a private home on Mykines before you take the boat back to Sørvágur. The last leg of the journey is by car. The route takes you along beautiful panoramic roads to Tórshavn, where you arrive at your hotel.
