Nólsoy Village and Stongin

Only a 20-minute sail across the strait, and you are in another world. Nólsoy offers various unique sites and  experiences in the village, an excursion to one of the world’s largest storm petrel colonies on the east side, or just a quiet stroll among colorful houses, enchanting locals and a charming harbour.

From the harbor, we walk through the village to "Stongin" at the northern tip of the island, enjoying views of the ocean on both sides and spotting puffins. We pass a small white church and a memorial stone for Nólsoyar Páll, a local hero who opposed the Danish trade monopoly.

On the northeast side, we'll see how narrow the island is and feel the power of the North Atlantic waves. The local football field is to the west, and nature's playground lies to the east, separated by basalt cliffs. Our guide will share stories about Ove Joensen, who rowed solo from the Faroes to Denmark in 1986, inspiring the annual "Ovastevna" festival in mid-August, featuring food, singing, and dancing.

Nólsoy also has a grocery store, cafés, and a music venue where we can relax before returning to Tórshavn by ferry.
