About Egholm tours
We’re a small, locally owned boat tour company based in Tórshavn, passionate about sharing the raw beauty of the Faroe Islands from the sea. Our tours are not just trips — they’re stories told through waves, cliffs, and quiet coves.
Built around tradition, our handcrafted wooden boat reflects Faroese heritage and seafaring culture. Every journey is guided by locals who know these waters by heart — and who love bringing guests into the rhythm of life along the coast.
Whether you're here for a peaceful escape, a photography adventure, or a deeper cultural experience, our goal is to make you feel part of something real — out where the land ends and the sea begins.
Welcome aboard. Let’s explore.
