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 to 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. Afterward, pass the largest lake in the Faroe Islands.
Reaching Bøur, you'll discover a little village with both old and new houses with green sod roofs and a charming old tar-blackened church. Take in the spectacular view of Tindholmur and Mykines Islands beyond. A refreshment stop at an old warehouse that dates back to 1861 includes tea or coffee and a delightful piece of homemade cake.
You'll leave Bour via the tunnel to Gasadalur — Vagár'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.
Head back to the ship via the same route.
