Leave Eysturoy Island through the subsea tunnel with the only roundabout in the world that is below sea level. On the other side you’ll reach Kaldbakfjord and the Kollafjørdur Valley.
Pass through another subsea tunnel and, five minutes later, you'll arrive on Vágar Island. You will appreciate Vágar's ever-changing scenery and will have time explore its villages. Your guide will enlighten you with tales about the island, its history and life here today.
Drive through the village of Sandavágur where you will visit the Church, afterwards pass the largest lake in the Faroe Islands before reaching Bøur.
In Bøur, you'll discover a little village with both old and new houses with green sod roofs and a charming old tar-blackened church. From there, take in the spectacular view of Tindholmur and Mykines Islands beyond. There will be a refreshment stop in Bøur, which includes tea or coffee and a delightful piece of homemade cake in an old warehouse, which dates back to 1861.
You'll leave Bour via the tunnel to Gasadalur -- Vagar's westernmost village – where you will see the Mulafossur waterfall which runs directly into the ocean. A beautiful sight with the village in the background. Afterwards head back to the ship via the same route.
