The lake sits thirty metres above the sea and the angle makes it look hundreds. Most of these walks cross private land and the fees are real.

Saksun's lagoon is only walkable at low tide and the tide comes in fast. The village itself has fewer than a dozen residents and has had disputes with visitors about it.

The trek itself is good but the group was too large for the trail on the summit day. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.
Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. The teahouses were warm and the beds were fine after eight hours walking. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. No hesitation recommending them.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.
Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Would send friends their way.
Faroe Islands in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. No hesitation recommending them.

The trek itself is good but the group was too large for the trail on the summit day. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Recommended.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
