• 2026 Faroe Islands Photography Tour Travel Plans

  Friday, May 29

  Arrive at Vagar Airport (FAE) after 12:00 pm.

  The northern archipelago islands of the Faroe are filled with photo opportunities during the spring season. You will never be more than three miles from the ocean. The countryside is dominated by picturesque steep mountains and cliffsides. Over 80,000 sheep roam these islands, and a staggering two million pairs of seabirds call the Faroe Islands home.

  Our home base is on the edge of the seaside village of Tórshavn at the Hotel Foroyar. Tórshavn, on Streymoy Island, is the capital city of the Faroe Islands. It’s known for its old town, Tinganes, crammed with wooden turf-roofed houses on a small peninsula. Visit Tórshavn Cathedral, local boutiques, and restaurants. The Nordic House Cultural Center offers theater, dance, and music performances.

• Helpful Information for 2026 Faroe Islands Photography Tour

  Weather

  The weather in the Faroe Islands is unpredictable and highly changeable, so be prepared! The islands are generally windy, cloudy, and cool throughout the year. Variations in altitude, ocean currents, topography, and wind mean the climate differs greatly, even though distances between locations are small.

  June is one of the drier months in the Faroe Islands, but likely, there will be some splashes of rain. Average temperatures in June vary between lows of 45°F and highs of 52°F but could feel cooler depending on the conditions.

  Language

  All of the locals speak English.

  Wi-Fi

  There is free Wi-Fi at the hotel, Hotel Foroyar, and in public areas, which is all good and reliable.

  4G is available right across the islands. If you want limitless access to data on your phone, you can pick up a SIM card from the local telecommunications company named Hey.

  Currency

  There are two currencies of equal value in the Faroe Islands: the Faroese króna and the Danish krone. While the Faroese government prints its own bank notes, only Danish coins are used. Danish notes are as equally acceptable as Faroese notes throughout the country.

  Visa and MasterCard are widely accepted in the Faroe Islands. If you wish to pay with cash, ATMs are available.

  Electricity

  230-volt, 50 Hz, plug types F (also works with plug types C and E) and K (also works with plug types C, E, and F)

  Alcohol

  The only place you will find alcohol is at the Rúsan stores that can be found on all larger islands. The largest Rúsan store is in Tórshavn in the small shopping mall Miðlon. The selection of wines, spirits, and beers is excellent. But prices are NOT for the faint-hearted.

  If you want some beer, wine, and the like to enjoy while you’re in the Faroe Islands, then your best bet is to purchase it at the airport. Alcohol is heavily taxed on the islands, but at the airport, it is tax-free.

  Transfers

  If you arrive or depart on non-itinerary days, there is an airport taxi service you can pre-book.
