Approved guides

Every tour is led by an approved local guide.

Respect for the land

We work with the farmers and landowners who own the land.

Safety first

Know the route, the weather and the way home.

In 2019, the two Faroese agricultural associations founded the company behind hiking.fo.

Faroese law states that access to nature requires permission from the landowner. Unfortunately, not everyone complies — to the detriment of nature and wildlife. It has also resulted in injuries, some fatal, where rescue teams and helicopters have had to search for tourists who were hurt or lost. Booking through hiking.fo means you walk with permission, with a guide, and safely.
