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.
Good to know
Journey is approximately 45 minutes each way from Klaksvík. Private departure means you set the pace; driver waits throughout. Book directly via the Guide to Faroe Islands private cruise page and specify your all-aboard time.
