During the summer, the vessel Dragin KG 212 takes you to the famous bird cliffs north of Klaksvík and north of Kunoyarnakk. On board, you will discover the life of the sailors. And you will be served soup and coffee. The boat can also be booked for deep-sea fishing. Dragin is primarily a training ship, but the general public has the opportunity to enjoy it too. This project of saving a historical sailing ship goes back 25 years. This boat can be taken on deep-sea voyages to Scotland, Iceland or Norway.

If you have the sea legs and heart of a Viking, then welcome aboard this magnificent sailing ship. The very friendly Captain Birgir owns a beautiful schooner, moored in Tórshavn harbour: Norðlýsið or "Nordic light". She was built in the shipyards in 1945. This kind-hearted sailor organizes sea trips, shark fishing and even dinners in the ship's hold. The authentic Faroese atmosphere and delicious fish caught during the day await you on board.

On board high-speed motorboats, with music blasting from the on-board waterproof speakers, you will discover the spectacular caves of Nólsoy, the island south of Torshavn.

If time permits, you can also navigate through the caves, Álvagjógv and Klaemintsgjógv. You can also ask for a tailor-made tour.
