Departing directly from Tórshavn, we head out into the calm and scenic waters of Nólsoyarfjørður, where the entire experience unfolds within this sheltered and picturesque fjord. As we sail, our knowledgeable guides share engaging stories about local culture, maritime traditions, and the unique connection between Tórshavn and Nólsoy, enriching your journey with authentic Faroese insight.
The route offers exceptional views of Nólsoy, with its green hillsides, charming village, and distinctive coastal landscape. We stay close to shore, giving you a clear look at boathouses, harbours, and daily life on both sides of the fjord.
Depending on the season, you may also encounter a variety of seabirds. Puffins, razorbills, and guillemots are often seen in this area, adding a touch of wildlife magic to the experience.
This tour blends beautiful scenery, cultural storytelling, and the option of a genuine fishing experience—all within the safe and tranquil surroundings of Nólsoyarfjørður. It’s an ideal outing for families, groups, and visitors looking for a memorable and relaxing day on the water.
Bursatanga is a quiet hillside neighbourhood on the eastern edge of Tórshavn, known for its sweeping views over the capital and the surrounding fjords. Positioned above the coastline, it offers a unique vantage point where the city’s colourful rooftops meet the dramatic Faroese landscape.
The area stretches along the slope facing Nólsoyarfjørður, giving residents and visitors a clear line of sight toward the island of Nólsoy and the ever‑changing North Atlantic. Its elevation creates a natural divide between the bustling town centre below and the open, windswept hills that rise behind it.
Walking through Bursatanga, you’ll find a blend of modern Faroese homes, quiet streets, and pockets of green that reflect the calm, spacious character of the neighbourhood. The nearby walking paths lead toward the higher terrain above Tórshavn, where the views expand across Tangafjørður, Hoyvík, and the surrounding mountains.
With its peaceful atmosphere, scenic outlook, and close connection to both nature and city life, Bursatanga offers a distinctive perspective on Tórshavn—one that captures the gentle rhythm and understated beauty of the Faroese capital.
