Welcome to The Northern Islands

The "Northern Isles" is a term used to describe the six islands of Fugloy, Svínoy, Viðoy, Borðoy, Kunoy and Kalsoy, which makes up the north eastern corner of the Faroe Islands.

These six islands are very different and each has its own distinctive character. Together they make up a unit around the main town of Klaksvík. Here you will find a dramatic countryside, idyllic villages and a people who live in close connection with the beautiful, yet dangerous ocean.

The Northern Islands have a lot to offer the visitors. We have history, culture, nature, as well as dynamic trades and industries.

We can offer:

  • Information we can help you with any information you need about our area. First of all anything concerning tourism: accommodation, excursions, activities, weather, food and restaurants.
  • Service to all groups and individuals visiting our area, when planning and while they are here.
  • Excursions by bus, boat or hiking. We arrange some excursions ourselves and are selling others.
  • Bed and Breakfast
  • Planning also for individuals, we can make a travel plan within minutes to those seeking advice during their stay.
  • We are your safety-net if you come to the Faroes, you can always get help from us if needed
