1. Drangarnir

   DRANGARNIR These spellbinding sea stacks are an unforgettable spectacle. Standing tall between the tip of Vágar island and Tindhólmur islet, the 70-metre sea stacks have been photographed from all angles, but no image can capture the experience of standing in front of Drangarnir.

Our guides will briefly explain the science and history behind these natural wonders, offering a glimpse into the region's volcanic past.

4. TINDHÓLMUR Although it is often seen as the backdrop to Drangarnir sea stacks, Tindhólmur islet is a sight to behold in itself. The land is privately owned yet uninhabited. The highest point (262 metres) is one of its five pointy peaks, called Ytsti, Arni, Lítli, Breiði and Bogni (farthest, eagle, small, broad and bent).
