Meet Samson

Samson has a deep passion for the sea, fishing, and wildlife. An authorized tour guide with a degree in Fisheries Science, he leads authentic boat tours for small groups and families who love active travel and meaningful cultural experiences. Sailing in a traditional Faroese boat, you’ll come close to the dramatic coastal landscapes, seabirds, and marine life that make the Faroe Islands so special. Along the way, Samson shares fascinating local stories and insights into island life. He hosts together with Myrna, who is passionate about Faroese cooking and creating delicious meals using local and seasonal ingredients. Myrna invites guests to experience traditional Faroese cuisine in an intimate, home-style setting, where food, culture, and hospitality come together. Together, Samson and Myrna offer an unforgettable experience that blends adventure, storytelling, and authentic local flavors — a true taste of the Faroe Islands.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Market visit: (2-5 guests) SUSTAINABLE FISHING TOUR & DINING EXPERIENCE: Enjoy one of the best ways to explore the Faroe Islands. This is an authentic full-day experience in the Faroe Islands that combines adventure, fishing, and local cuisine. Begin with a scenic boat tour from the marina of Árnafjørður on Borðoy, sailing in a traditional Faroese wooden boat — a masterpiece of local craftsmanship. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs, ravines, and grottoes, you’ll cast your fishing line in pristine waters where haddock and Atlantic cod thrive. Keep an eye out for seals and seabirds as you sail mindfully through their natural habitat.

Returning to the marina with your catch of fresh fish, you’ll drive 10 minutes to neighboring village Hvannasund. Your local host, Myrna, warmly welcomes you into her home, where you’ll begin with a tasting of traditional Faroese specialties. Next, your host will demonstrate how to clean and prepare your catch of fish before cooking a delicious meal. A teacher by training and authorized tour guide Myrna communicates authentic Faroese culture and cuisine. As your meal bakes, enjoy a guided walk through the village and hear stories about Faroese traditions, daily life, and culture — a true taste of authentic island hospitality.

Notes:
For a private experience, your host requests a minimum of 4 guests.
This experience is with an authorized tour guide. Each guest receives a floatation suit, boots and lifejacket. You will be served a light meal with water and coffee or tea on board the boat.
Should weather conditions be unfavorable, your host may suggest a change in location or departure time. If the weather is unsuitable in general, the tour will be cancelled, and you will be refunded in full.
