RUNAVIK

Runavik is a small fishing town of 4,000 people on the Faroese Island of Esturoy. It’s quaint and friendly, and jaw dropping natural beauty.

Tip: Set your alarm early for the sail in through the fjord!

The town itself is light on attractions. It makes for a nice relaxing stroll, and days where cruise ships visit often have various events and activities put on around town by the locals.

For nature lovers, a walk up from the port can take you up towards Lake Toftavatn, which is popular for bird watching.

For those wishing to see more of what the region has on offer, longer day trips could involve a visit to Torshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands, Gjogv, known for its green-roofed church and gorge, as well as the Vestmanna Sea cliffs, another popular destination for bird watchers and photographers.
