Gjógv Gorge Village & Sea Cliffs: Private Half-Day Drive

Visit the legendary harbour gorge of Gjógv, carved by volcanic forces into Eysturoy's northern tip, where folklore giants guard the cliffs and turf-roofed houses cluster around the natural rock channel. One of the Faroes' most bewitching villages.

What to expect

Your private guide collects you at the Klaksvík pier and drives across the sub-sea Norðoyatunnilin tunnel to Eysturoy. At Gjógv you walk the narrow gorge to where the North Atlantic churns below, explore the pastel village and its historic rowing-boat shed, and gaze across to the sea-stack sentinels of local legend. The return journey winds through highland moorland with stops chosen for the best light.
