Hvannasund: Guided Boat Tour with Fishing

You sail from the northern small boat marina of Hvannasund on Viðoy. Sailing north you explore the magnificent seashores of Viðoy. Near the village Viðareiði you see magnificent landscapes. There are spectacular gorges and grottoes – perfect for photography. Weather permitting you will sail into one of the grottoes and we will turn off the outboard engine. To only the sounds of the sea and the seabirds you will enjoy a cup of coffee inside the grottoe! Located close to the spawning grounds of the north atlantic cod, the area is known for good fishing. Typical fish in these waters are Atlantic cod, haddock, whiting and saithe. We bring fishing rods so that you can cast a line and try your fishing luck. Should you be blessed with a catch, you get to take the fish with you home to prepare for a wonderful meal! On your way back towards the Hvannasund marina you sail to the other side of the fiord to the abandoned village Múli.

It was a wonderful experience with Samson. We were very lucky as the weather was sunny, which made the excursion even more enjoyable. The richness of Samson's comments and explanations are much appreciated. I really recommend this activity, you'll be absolutely delighted. ☀️

It was an unbelievable experience fishing with Samson! Great communicator, has so much knowledge about the Faroes and the fish. Highly recommend, if we come back to the Faroes we will definitely do this experience again!
