Embrace your inner Viking on an eight-day Get Lost Escapes adventure that will have you travelling to the far-flung Faroe Islands. An untouched collection of 18 major outcrops, the Faroes are renowned for a thriving population of seabirds and marine wildlife, fascinating seafaring history, and scenery so rugged it could double as a Game of Thrones backdrop. The tour begins in the village of Gjógv, where you’ll hike Slættaratindur, the highest mountain of the Faroe Islands, visit the local wool mill and enjoy a few hearty home-cooked Faroese meals. The second half of the trip takes place in the capital Tórshavn, and involves a fjord safari, fishing expedition and horseback riding. We’re calling it: the Faroe Islands could just be the new Galapagos.
In case you were wondering where exactly the Faroe Islands are located, they area a tiny archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean, midway between Norway and Iceland; and you better hurry up and get packing before everyone else falls under the islands’ spell.
Go for eight days with Get Lost Escapes from US$9,200.
