Experience the Majestic Drangarnir Sea Stacks

Among the Faroe Islands’ most iconic landmarks are the impressive sea stacks known as Drangarnir, located between Vágar and the small islet of Tindhólmur. The two formations are called Stóri Drangur and Lítli Drangur – meaning “the large” and “the small” sea stack.

Now you have the chance to experience them up close on a guided tour with a local expert. The adventure begins at the marina in Sørvágur, where you’ll board a boat with one of our experienced captains. After a short sail, you’ll be dropped off about three kilometres from Drangarnir. From there, your local guide will lead you on a scenic hike to several stunning viewpoints overlooking the sea stacks.

When it’s time to head back, the boat will meet you again near Drangarnir for the return trip. (Please note that in case of rough sea conditions, both drop-off and pick-up will take place from the same location.)

The total duration of the tour is approximately 3–4 hours, covering 3–6 kilometres of hiking, depending on conditions and pace.
