Travel to Faroe Islands

Situated roughly halfway between Norway and Iceland, the Faroe Islands are made up of 18 rocky, volcanic islands in the wild North Atlantic. It's just a visually striking place, with green mountains and shaggy sheep; crashing waterfalls and colorful little villages. The Faroes also have some incredible climbing opportunities – with even better views, certainly. Faroe Islands are beautifully and even bizarrely structured, with mind-blowing viewpoints ideal for hikes and long walks. There are sea cliffs, a waterfall, and a lake that looks like it's floating above the sea. Beautiful in its unpredictability and ruggedness, the Faroes surely have their own obvious charms to woo any intrepid traveler.

Diving in Faroe Islands

Diving as an activity is becoming more and more famous in the Faroe Islands. The beautiful, varied and unspoilt seabed found in the crystal clear water surrounding the 18 islands is simply very special. The excellent diving sites provide a great platform for exploring kelp forests and botanic seaweed gardens, fantastic drop-offs and grottos with exciting animal life. Visibility is best in the winter months, when the water temperature is low. In the summer, plankton blooms sometimes degrade visibility. However, visibility varies a great deal and even in summer it can reach 15-20 meters.
