Faroe Islands
July 11 - 18, 2026
Explore these remote islands with us!
This adventure is rated 1 out of 5. This means that while there might be a hike or two that is more strenuous than a 1, there are easy ways to opt out or choose a different activity. This trip consists of a decent amount of driving to explore the islands on small windy roads. Visiting Stora Dimun does require some hiking and involves heights on tall ledges. This particular day would be considered a 2/5. Kalsoy Island has a short hike, but will require walking up a grassy, sometimes muddy and uneven path (not really a designated trail), to get a good view of the Kallur Lighthouse.
Embark on an unforgettable 8-day journey through the stunning Faroe Islands, a remote archipelago of eighteen islands located in the North Atlantic Ocean between Iceland and Norway. This country offers a dramatic blend of rugged landscapes, untamed beauty, and a rich cultural heritage that make it an ideal destination for an off-the-beaten-path experience.
This women's-only adventure promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Spend the week exploring different islands as you go chasing waterfalls, visit small remote villages, take boat rides to nearby towering cliffs and caves, search for wildlife, and hike through lush green valleys enjoying breathtaking views of the North Atlantic Ocean while forging new friendships and celebrating the spirit of female camaraderie.
Get ready for a week to bask in this unspoiled paradise, where nature's beauty and adventure seamlessly blend into an extraordinary voyage tailored just for you.
