FAROE ISLANDS PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP ITINERARY

DAY 1 & 2

After picking up everyone from Vagar Airport (or hotel near by) around 2 pm, our Faroe Islands photography workshop officially begins.

We’ll drop off our luggages at our hotel (where we’ll be staying for two nights) and begin the exploration of the island of Vagar, which is where we’ll spend the first two days of this photo tour.

Vagar has a lot to offer and we’ll have plenty of time to dedicate to each one of the locations. It’s here that we’ll photograph the famous Múlafossur waterfall in the village of Gasadalur, the impressive Sørvágsvatn lake along with many other secret locations.

From Vagar we’ll also take a private boat to the island of Tindholmur, a pristine gem that is still pretty unknown but that offers great photo opportunities.

After waking up early for our last sunrise on the island of Vagar, we’ll have a rich breakfast and then leave for the next island: Streymoy.

We’ll spend two nights in the capital and make it our base to explore the islands of Streymoy, Eysturoy and Suduroy.

Some short hikes will allow us to take amazing pictures, we’ll make our way to many different locations such as Fossá (the tallest waterfall in the Faroe Islands), Saksun, Gjogv and Funningur.

We’ll also reach the island of Suduroy, the southernmost islands of the Faroe. Here we’ll be rewarded with incredible views over unbelievable cliffs and spend a whole day photographing around.
