Here are a few adventures you can expect at Átjan Wild Islands 2023. These will be available for ticket holders to book in May/June 2023.

Snorkelling

Take to the cool waters and discover the mesmerising colours of sea kelp and seaweed as you swim in amongst the coves at Old Hoyvík. 

Sea-Kayaking

Kayaking in the Faroe Islands is an adventurous way to explore the natural beauty of the islands at sea level and see the stunning landscape from a whole different perspective. 

The kayaks are sea-kayaks that are very safe, and you'll be paddling in in either double or single kayaks. Drysuits, lifejackets and safety equipment is included.

Coasteering

One for the adventure-inspired, this day takes you to the craggy cliff edges of the Faroe Islands for an exhilarating few hours of cliff-jumping and cave swimming. Once you're in the ice-cool waters, you'll get a chance to explore the stunning sea caves and sea cliffs only accessibly by boat.

Surfing

Re-invigorate with a dip in the ice cool waters of the Faroe Islands. Hire a board off the bay of Tjørnuvík - a paradise for cold water surfers - and ride the exhilarating waves of the North Atlantic. Faroese surfers - experts in the local conditions - will be at hand to give you insights on how best to take on the waves just off the Arctic Circle. 

Stand-up Paddle-boarding (SUP)

Experience a gentle paddle off-shore with an experienced SUP guide. You'll get to see the Faroe Islands from a different angle, paddling around cliffs, hidden coves, and beaches. 

Rock Climbing

With its wild, mountainous landscape and steep cliffs, the Faroe Islands is a climbing gem rising out the North Atlantic. 


Climbers with some experienced seeking new challenges in new surroundings are catered for on these sessions.  The technical difficulty will average at 4c-6ab and you may be required to secure other climbers.


Please note; some rappelling may be required or in the event of poor weather the climbing session may be replaced entirely with a rappelling session.
