Overview
Vágar, one of the main islands of the Faroe Islands, is a spectacular cruise port destination known for its dramatic and easily accessible natural wonders. Located in the western part of the archipelago, Vágar is a true traveler's paradise, offering an awe-inspiring combination of rugged cliffs, serene lakes, and enchanting villages. As an expedition cruise destination, it provides a perfect gateway to some of the most iconic landscapes of the Faroes, many of which can be seen without extensive travel.
The island's two ports, in Miðvágur and Sørvágur, are the starting points for explorations into a land rich in history and folklore. From the famous optical illusion of a "lake above the ocean" to a waterfall that cascades directly into the sea, Vágar presents a raw, untamed beauty that feels both ancient and alive. It is a destination for those who seek to connect with the raw power of nature and the resilient spirit of the Faroese people.
The most famous landmark on Vágar is the breathtaking Múlafossur Waterfall. Plunging over a cliff and directly into the Atlantic Ocean from the small village of Gásadalur, this waterfall is one of the most photographed spots in the Faroe Islands. A short, easy walk from the village provides a stunning viewpoint.
Tip: The waterfall is a short drive from the cruise ports and is an essential stop for any visit. The view is spectacular in any weather.
Embark on an incredible hike to Trælanípa, a cliff that provides the stunning optical illusion of a lake suspended high above the ocean. The trail follows the edge of Lake Sørvágsvatn, the largest lake in the Faroe Islands. The hike is approximately 6 km (about 4 miles) round trip and offers many photo opportunities.
Tip: Wear sturdy, waterproof hiking boots, and be prepared for changing weather conditions. The hike is moderate but the views are unparalleled.
Explore the charming village of Bøur, located just a short drive from the port. This picturesque settlement is known for its traditional turf-roofed houses and a beautifully tar-blackened church. From the village, you can get incredible views of the sea stacks of Drangarnir and the striking islet of Tindhólmur.
Tip: Respect the privacy of the villagers, and take a moment to appreciate the tranquility and unique architecture of the Faroe Islands.
Join a boat tour from Sørvágur to get a unique perspective on the island's coastline. These tours often take you close to the sea stacks of Drangarnir and the towering Tindhólmur islet. They also offer a fantastic opportunity to see the large puffin colony and other seabirds that nest on the cliffs.
Tip: This is often the best way to see puffins up close without a long and difficult hike. Book your boat tour in advance, especially during the summer.
Explore the village of Miðvágur, one of the island's largest and a main cruise port. Here you can find the Kálvalíð Museum, a 17th-century house that offers a glimpse into how Faroese families lived centuries ago. The village's church is also a point of interest.
Tip: Walk around the village to see the traditional houses with grass roofs and take in the beautiful views of the surrounding bay.
Engage with the friendly locals in any of the small villages on the island. The Faroese are known for their hospitality and are often happy to share stories about their way of life. Look for opportunities to purchase local handicrafts or try a warm cup of coffee and homemade goods.
Tip: Don't be afraid to strike up a conversation. A simple "Góðan dag" (Good day) can go a long way.
