Visit the breathtaking farmer island of Koltur during the summer months in the Faroe Islands. Our open shuttle boat takes you from Streymoy, across Hestfjørð to Koltur. On the trip you'll see seabirds such as puffins.

You'll board the boat at the port of Gamlarætt on the island of Streymoy. The boat trip from Gamlarætt to Koltur takes approximately 20 minutes. As we approach Koltur, you will begin to see the ancient settlement of Heima í Húsi on the almost untouched island. This is just a warm-up for what you'll experience later.

Included in your ticket price is access to the ancient buildings of Heima í Húsi. This means that you have paid in advance for admission to these historic old houses.

**Important to know for the 2025 season. Once you're safely ashore, head towards the stairs leading up from the quay. At the foot of the stairs, you will find a tub of antiseptic liquid to rinse off your shoes. This is to prevent us from bringing unwanted insects or infections to the island.**

When you disembark at Koltur, you will spend 4 hours on the island. When you get off the boat, move your body from the boat to the dock. This can be the most challenging part of the whole trip.  Just make sure you are in good physical condition to get off the boat.

During your hours on Koltur, you'll have time for both a hike and a visit to the cozy ancient house Heima í Húsi. It's always a good idea to bring a small, packed lunch, a thermos of coffee and a bottle of water. Only one man lives on Koltur. His job is to look after and maintain all the old houses on the island. So here you have plenty of space to relax and get away from the stresses of everyday life.

This shuttle boat departs from Gamlarætt marina. Your certified captain will ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable boat trip.

The boat trip takes place in a boat with space for 12 people. You will be seated comfortably as you sail between Streymoy and Koltur. This ticket grants you access to a very special and historic island in the Faroe Islands.

Koltur is a very popular summer attraction in the Faroe Islands for good reason. On Koltur you will be struck with awe in a way that very few other places on earth allow. This is your chance to experience Koltur. An island that was first touched by humans around the 800s. The first settlements on the island date back to the Viking Age when the Vikings chose to settle on Koltur.

Take the opportunity and visit the untouched Viking island.

**Grotto Concert in Klæmintsgjógv – A Symphony Beneath the Cliffs**

Departing from Gamlarætt, you embark on a rare and intimate journey along the untamed west coast of Hestur. Here, hidden beneath towering cliffs sculpted by volcanic forces over 55 million years ago, lies Klæmintsgjógv — the world's largest sea cave, a natural cathedral of stone and water.

As you glide into the vast darkness aboard our comfortable RIB boats, the outside world fades away. Inside the cave’s immense chamber, the ancient basalt walls rise like silent witnesses to the Earth's deep history. In the hush, live music begins — a lone trumpet or saxophone weaving pure, soaring notes into the cavern’s raw acoustics. Every tone reverberates through stone and sea, creating a once-in-a-lifetime symphony that feels both timeless and ephemeral.

This exclusive experience lasts approximately one hour, offering a rare chance to lose yourself in the elemental beauty of Klæmintsgjógv. Seated safely aboard, surrounded by the primal grandeur of the Faroe Islands, you become part of a fleeting concert few will ever witness.

A celebration of nature, sound, and adventure — born from fire, shaped by ocean, and now filled with music.

Stóra Dímun – The Hidden Island

Amidst the endless blue of the North Atlantic lies Stóra Dímun — a remote and almost mythical island, located 4.5 nautical miles northeast of Suðuroy. Here, Eva and Jógvan Jón live in harmony with nature, tending sheep and cultivating the land just as generations before them have done.

This exclusive day trip offers a rare invitation into a world few ever glimpse. Welcomed by Eva and Jógvan Jón themselves, you will be guided around their secluded farm, listening to personal stories of life shaped by isolation, tradition, and the raw beauty of the elements. After the tour, you are invited to share coffee and homemade cake, either within the warmth of their home or, on still summer days, beneath the open sky with sweeping views over the ocean.

To reach Stóra Dímun is to embrace a spirit of adventure. Arrival demands agility and courage, as you step directly from the boat onto the bare rocks of the island’s rugged shoreline. From there, a narrow path winds its way along the cliffside, ascending over 100 meters to the farmstead — a journey suited only for those with sure footing and a heart for heights.

Beyond the farm, Stóra Dímun offers a sanctuary of untouched beauty. In summer, the island teems with life as migratory birds such as puffins, guillemots, and oystercatchers arrive to nest, their cries filling the crisp sea air. Sheep graze undisturbed across the high, sweeping plateaus, their silhouettes set against the endless Atlantic horizon.

Your journey begins at the ferry terminal in Gamlarætt, a short drive southwest of Tórshavn, where you board a custom-built RIB boat piloted by an experienced local captain. The crossing takes approximately one hour, skimming over the open ocean to one of the most remote corners of the Faroes. After six unforgettable hours on the island, the captain returns to bring you safely back to the mainland.

To fully savour this extraordinary experience, we recommend dressing warmly in windproof clothing, wearing sturdy hiking shoes, and bringing a packed lunch, drinking water, and a small backpack.

The Gamlarætt ferry port is just a fifteen-minute drive southwest from the capital. If you're unsure how to find your way, enter “Gamlarætt ferry port” into your GPS and it will guide you safely. There is parking to the right of the ferry port at Gamlarætt harbor.
