"Life-changingly beautiful" is a great way to describe the Faroe Islands.
Great video. You always present things so professional, but with heart. It is never boring.
Thanks!
In my college days I lived in a Kollegium (dorm). When there was a party, the Faroe Islanders living there would meet in our kitchen to party with each other and easy food from home, sent in care packages from their mothers. I would often join. Great people. The food was often a little bit scary, though. I kind of like raw whale blubber. But sheep's heads are not my thing.
My dad sailed on one of the navy patrol ships that patrolled the Faroe Islands and Greenland when he was doing his military service. Later he met my mother who rode Icelandic horses. Basically we've loved all things North Atlantic in our family.
That is super cool!
@@TravelinYoung ...literally "cool", yeah :)
Hope you'll give Iceland or Greenland a visit sometime too. Small countries are always so happy to talk about themselves... as you might have noticed.
@@Nygaard2 oh we went to Iceland and had an incredible time driving/camping all around. It was gorgeous! Greenland is on the list for sure.
Having spent my entire chilhood life there, I had almost forgotten the sheer beauty that envelops the place. It's intriguing to witness the island through the eyes of others. Quite eye opening, really! Next time you should visit the old raidar base at Sornfelli, its an amazing view at the top.
Amazing. Been watching you guys for a long time, i used to live in Denmark, i lived in Copenhagen for 8 years, but moved back home to Faroe Islands last summer :) Glad you liked out beautiful country. Keep up the good videos.
Very cool, it is a wonderful place! We can’t wait to get back again.
It is great to see your enthusiasm.
Thank you!
The Faroe Islands have some stunning natural views, great food and wonderful people, definately worth a trip, two or three!
- but it's too desolate for me 😉
hello from Hundested 🌸
Great video guys! We also loved our stay in the Faroes and it's definitely worth going for more than just a couple of days! Cheers
Nice to hear since Im from here and live here. Makes me appreciate the place more 🙂
Vágar Airport had it´s runway extended in 2011, from 1259 meters to 1799 meters. Maybe 3-4 years ago, the Atlantic Airwas fleet and Vagar airport installed a tecnology called RNP AR 0.1, making landing and taking off with the newer aircrafts, much more stable, dispite foggy or a bit windy weather.
So, Josh, if you think it´s a full speed / full stop takeoff and landing now - oh, boy would you have shit your pants before they extended the runway🙃
Great video, and when you have visited a few more times, you vill get the pronunciations even better 😉
Færøerne is like a mini Iceland without volcanos, I think. The queen visits Færøerne and Grønland quite often (to keep the kingdom together - "we still love you"). Iceland was Danish too from 1814 to 1947.
My home country, glad you liked it 😊
We also visited the Faroes in the summer of 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, since it was literally the ONLY place we were allowed to travel to during that peak pandemic time, since the Faores are technically a part of Denmark. It was truly an awesome experience. The landscapes are breathtaking, and well worth the visit even though the weather is typically poor. We went in early July, which meant it NEVER got dark. We drove the length of Kalsoy through all the one lane tunnels, but never saw another car the whole way. We took the same boat trip as you, and also took a helicopter flight, which is really cheap there since it is like a bus service, but you can only go one way so as to discourage tourists overwhelming the system (we took an actual bus back). Very cool to see the islands from the air. We would definitely go back.
Hey guys. One thing is to fly there... You can take a FERRY THERE! Yep! And that is the way to go.
Greetings from the Faroe islands 🙂 Super video, thanx for the kind words ❤
PS: Did you guys try the faroese water? Its the best... 😉
I went to Færøerne a few years ago, and its a trip I'll never forget.
Its amazing there, and the nature is very beautifull.
Saksun was fantastic and I went on the hike. Very memorable.
The peoble are extremely welcoming, and its just a very nice place to visit.
Thank you for your wonderful expressions of my country. Beautiful video 💖 next time you must stay longer
Thank you for this. Vestmanna is my mothers birthplace and her father lies buried there. Saxun is amazing.
my god.. you been really lucky.. we just been there last week, and we fog, rain storm etc.. and suddenly out of nowwhere clear blue sky.... aaaand back to fog :D we just love Faroe island
I can recomend Iceland. Vulcanic landscapes, Very special and very beatifull in it's own way.
Oh yes, we went a few years ago. It is amazing! We’ve got a video hiding in here somewhere :).
Cool 👍
great vid you guys - i was there in May on a workation trip. Been there a couple of times now, and love it very time a go there. Now you only need to visit my country, to do the full danish kingdom circle (Greenland) :o)
Was there when i was in the royal danish navy. It was beautiful. Glad i had the experience since flying is really expensive
Greenland next? :)
I love The Faroe Islands as well. Actually I just got back from the islands on Tuesday.
If you want to go back, I will recommend you to go to Vagur for New Yeard. It is an amazing experience.
As a common guest to Malta, Faroese owned "Atlantic Airways" has got a contract to fly directly down from Cph. to Maltese Luqa Airport. And Vagar Airport is known for its difficult landings, during special weather, so we do feel safe with a skilled Danish pilot and a crew, all speaking Danish. And modern Airbus planes of different sizes.
And we have a Danish planned, built and now, owned vacation area in Mellieha (99%) on a large area of land, with a lot of separately built chalkstone houses in a kind of Park with passes in between. Malta is also a former Crusader area with fortified towns, and "Danish" flags! They claim it was a "worn" flag that Waldemar got delivered in Estonia, during the battle, and that is why the rectangles aren't the same! We know that German Crusaders fought close to Waldemar, so it may have been one of their flags he took home? Og course it looked much different by then.
Many of the pilots of Atlantic Airways are from Faroe Islands
Like mentioned earlier, the very good pilots are the faroese ones working on atlantic airways.
The danish dominant one would be SAS and they still cancel or delay flights way more than Atlantic Airways will.
It does help ofcourse that the Atlantic airways planes has been specially built to handle fog and cloudy weather better than other planes, simply due to how much fog and clouds we get.
I'm not entirely sure if other airlines has started to adopt the technology ours got yet or if it's still just unique to us.
Tak!
Thanks!!
Jey my grandmother was from Færøerne 🥰 I have some of his very old beer - do you want a picture?
He was the first male nurse in Denmark, bit that is another story.
Your grandmother was the first male nurse in Denmark? How does that work?
Next time you go, you need to visit Suðuroy (I have some contacts in tourist office).
Having lived there my entire life, only recently moving to Denmark to study. I always laugh when Danes complain about the weather haha
It really is a beautiful and special place. About the airport there is an ancient joke about it.
A pilot is coming in to land, for the first time, he does his checklist and begins the approach. When he sees the runway through the low clouds, he goes in, puts the wheels down just barely inside the asphalt, slams on all the brakes, the engines roar, the whole fuselage shakes violently, all the passengers are jerked forward in their seats, smoke billows from the brakes, but he makes it, the plane comes to a complete stop just still inside the asphalt. The Pilot exhales and remarks "Damn, that is a short runway, but man is it wide."
Faroes are a bucket list place for me. Thank you!
Meny on Amager has the beer you love 😎🍻
Awesome :) I visited the Faroe Islands in 9th grade in folkeskolen. Amazing place :)
BTW, what's the prices when you had lunch? I remember a normal looking pizza place in Torshavn, a normal sized cheese only pizza, the cheapest pizza on the menu of all pizza places, costing around 300DKK... So I can't imagine a restaurant is any cheaper.. :)
Wrong a pizza cost 90 kr
@@TheRedBaronHP well, this was more than 10 years ago, so my memory is fuzzy at best ;)
I'd assume your memory of the price is also hazy because I'm running on living here for 14 years and a normal pizza from a grill place has never closely costed that before.
Or if that was the price then I'm sorry to say but you got scammed.
You might see 3 course meals in restaurants cost 300+ dkk but never a single course unless it's an extremely fancy restaurant
Thank you for sharing this great experience. If you are ever going out make a job change you could make a living out of making advertising films for travelling. Bye the way it’s funny how you mentioning height and that you are scared of that and then still sit by the window in the air plain remember those can fall down to. Actually the Danish army lost its commander in chief in the 90 when the crashed the airplane landing on the airport at Thorshavn, so maybe next time take the ferry from Hirtshals that can only sink😉
That is kind of you to say! I have some ideas for elaborate travel/history videos in Denmark - perhaps one day I will find the time to research/plan/execute :). Oddly enough looking out of a plane doesn't scare me at all, in fact I love it. But that feeling turns to terror once my feet are on the ground and I am close to a ledge.
We do not have trains here in Faroe Islands, but we do have 2 underwater tunnels, 1st one goes from Leirvík to Klaksvík, and the 2nd one goes from Saltnes to Tórshavn.

Funny that you mention Lord of the Rings. I recently read that Tolkien used old danish places and historical figures as inspiration. For example, the names Isengard and Helms Deep are believed to have originated in Jutland. =)
Thank you for all the great videos,..
Not just belived to be. All the places are on Djursland, you can visit them.
@@Lauraphoid I haven't looked into it further. But quite an interesting topic that deserves a bit more attention =)
Please, please be aware that the guy who wrote that book about Tolkien and Jutland, Casper Clemmensen, is not a historian as he claims to be, and basically made everything up. He has an imagination the size of Thor Heyerdahl.
@@troelspeterroland6998 It would be nice if you attached a source for that indformation.
You should try to go to Greenland.
When you see the Faroe Islands in profile from a plane like this, it is incredible that they are able to find some reasonably flat horizontal regions to play football (soccer) in at all 😂
Haha, you could take a trip just photographing the oddly placed football grounds all over the islands. That would be a fun trip in itself!
@@TravelinYoung Indeed - they actually have drive in football up there in some places, so when the home team scores, all the spectator car horns go completely berserk 😂
I love this 😃 I grew up there but moved to Aarhus 14 years ago. Things have change a lot since I moved.
If you want to go hiking another time, you can find trails that are free. You can walk on most of the land without trouble, even though it’s privately owned.
It’s mostly the very popular trails that cost money. 😊
it is called Mykines
Greenland next?
Not immediately next, but it is on the list for sure. I do want to go.
@@TravelinYoung The Queen is getting old, so instead we send you to guys.
@@Gert-DK haha, works for me!
What a pleasure to know you enjoyed it up here. Actually the next destination from Atlantic Airways is a direct connection to New York! So we expect lots of americans here in the near future.
Amazing nature and people and houses and sheep and fish :D Been there once playing in a band around the islands for a week. It were in a strange way nice to be a place where the weather are even worse than in Denmark.
den dårlige omtale af DK vejr er vildt overdrevet
Trælanípan. Did you get the story behind the name? Its a rather grim.
I'm a Dane and as such maybe my comment will not be entirely objective but on the other hand I'm not Faroese...
The Faroe Islands (Føroyar) are undoubtedly the most beautiful place on earth and the Faroese undoubtedly the nicest people on earth ❤
Should I ever get the opportunity I'll go there to live, permanently !!!
Well luckily as long as you are a nordic citizen and especially from Denmark you can technically just move up here and no requirements. However the tricky part ofcourse is needing to find a place to live and get a job so you can stay.
@@pleasedontkillme1185 All you need is a P-number,
Shhhhhh! Do you want Trump to know about these Islands? He might wanna buy them too.
"Vestmanna" - wondering now what that name means? 🤔😂
Even our dear linguistically challenged favourite American "tourists" might be able to figure that one out 😂
da.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestmanna
Aha, so a vestmanna ( west-man! 😉 ) is thought to have referred to an Irish person originally 🤔
