DAY TOURS - Nólsoy trip, 4h

Come along on a sailboat tour to small and picturesque island, Nólsoy. Despite its proximity to the capital (6km), Nólsoy offers a different pace of life. With about 230 inhabitants and limited ferry connection with mainland area, Nólsoy is a nice getaway for people of all ages. The island is also home to a thriving wildlife. The world largest European storm petrol colony is found on Nólsoy, and in summer time you can be sure to spot puffins in the sea and on land. Our tour starts in Tórshavn marina, where the captain, Hávarður, will greet you and welcome you onboard our sailboat, Enniway, that you will find moored near the café, Umami. When all is rigged and ready, we will release the moorings and head in the direction of Nólsoy. During the 30 minutes fjord crossing, you will enjoy the fresh sea air and the relaxing sound of the boat making its way through the sea. Depending on the wind and the currents, we will sail in the direction that provides the most comfortable sailing conditions. Accompanied by the sea birds, we will sail along the coast of Nólsoy and approach the bustling cliffs that many species call home. There will be good opportunities to see beautiful, endemic plants and greet the always curious sheep. After the sailing trip around Nólsoy, you will get 30 minutes to go ashore and visit the little village on the island, before we head back to Tórshavn.

DAY TOURS - Hestur trip, 6 - 7 h.

Island of Hestur. The scenic little island of Hestur is located 9 nautical miles southwest of Tórshavn and it can be reached by boat in 1 hour 30 minutes. The island's only village is located on the eastern side and is sparsely populated with about 15 inhabitants. The ferry connection to the mainland is limited to just two daily departures, ensuring the tranquility of the small village. The west side of the island offers more drama as it is the location of spectacular “nature experiences”. The sea cliffs decorated with natural graffiti from the birds, where you will feel like a spectator in an “xx” and the world's largest sea cave, Klæmintsgjógv. Our tour starts in Tórshavn marina, where the captain, Hávarður, welcomes you aboard the sailing boat Enniway, which is moored by the cozy cafe Umami. When we are ready, we release the moorings and sail towards the island of Hestur. During the 1.5 hour boat trip, you will enjoy the fresh sea air and the relaxing sound of the boat cruising through the sea. We sail close to shore and you'll be able to see different species of birds and pecked sheep that have made the trip down to eat seaweed in weak waters. When the boat reaches the southern tip of Hestur - Halen, as it is called by the locals - we pass a place with the “eitt sindur” of tidal currents. The experienced captain navigates the boat with high accuracy and it is very safe. It is very fascinating to see and feel how much influence the current has on the boat. The boat trip around the island begins on the west side, where we sail very close to the rocks, so you can experience all the colors, the birds' nests and the structure of the landscape/rocks. The most common birds we see are Northern Fulmar, Guillemot, black Guillemot, European Shag and Stercorarius skua. At sea we very often meet Puffins, even a few Gannets. At first the cliffs are small and humble, but as we sail north, the cliffs gradually rise to 280 metres. The cliffs are home to an “xx” number of birds and there are a lot of “gorran and geylan”. It beautifully decorated by white graffiti of the flying birds. And the whole setting is very picturesque. Klæmintsgjógv, said to be the largest sea cave in the world, is easily accessible with dirt, so we can sail with the dirt into the cave, sit in the dirt on a trip into the cave, is a very special experience, since sitting almost in the water, sailing so close to the caves, the rocks with all its colors on it, and birds.

Late evening trip

As twilight deepens, a tranquil hush falls over the islands. The hustle and bustle of the villages slows down, people retreat to their homes, and in nature, a peaceful atmosphere emerges. Birds settle into their nests and their songs fade into silence. Evenings embrace is likely to affect the weather as well. The wind tends to soften to gentle breeze and the sea begins to calm. Sailing in the evening sea is a special experience and the perfect way to end a day exploring the Faroe Islands. We invite you to unwind and enjoy the tranquility of the moment onboard our sailboat while we slowly and quietly make our way through the fjord of Nólsoy and if weather and currents allow, we also sail around the islands of Nólsoy. We leave the harbour of Tórshavn at 7pm and return at 11pm. In summertime the sun sets around 11pm, so guests can expect to see a beautiful changing of light and colours in the sky.

About Enniway

The Enni team

The company is run by our Family "Enni".

Father & son, we are very enthusiastic sailors and dedicated to our islands.Sail with us as we can contribute to make your holidays unforgettable!

Enniway was born on 01th ofMay 2005 when we bought a Bianca model 420 sailboat in Denmark and sailed her to her new home in the Faroe Islands, Tórshavn.

Birgir began sailing day tours with people onboard the old schooner, Norðlýsið in the early 1990, and Hávarður practically grew up onboard the beautiful wooden ship, embodying and growing fond of maritime life and the seaways.

On Norðlýsið, good food and stories from the sea were an integral part of the day tours. Birgir was the captain and storyteller of the schooner for around 30 years until he retired.

Birgir and Hávarður were among the first islanders to collect and promote the local delicacies of the fjords. Most Faroese people have tried or at least heard about Birgirs famous fish soup whilst sailing with Norðlýsið, and as a young boy, Hávarður would collect and sell fresh shellfish to restaurants as an after-school job.

With Enniway, we keep our passion for the sea alive. We invite old and new friends to sail with us and experience our beautiful archipelago by sea. Also we find much joy in cooking and sharing newly caught seafood.

The Faroe Islands through our eyes

The Faroe Islands has an extraordinary oceanic climate on an exceptional location.

The landscape characterised by bold cliffs facing the rough sea is an incredible scenery with wildlife.

Exposed in the middle of the Atlantic, the weather can change very rapidly, and sothe skies formation, giving the most beautiful and dramatic lights. We are sure this will be something you willenjoy during your time here.

You will find Enniway in the cosy and picturesque harbour, Vágsbotn, and all our day tours begin in that very place.
