Weather |
|
| The Faroese weather is famously unpredictable. Even if you will be shuttled between locations, we recommend packing a warm and waterproof jacket. Don't worry about the boat ride—you will be provided with survival suits, but expect anything from sunshine to wind and light rain, all in one day! | |
Where you'll be staying |
|
| You will be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Faroe Islands. Situated in our beautiful capital city of Tórshavn, it is only a 45-minute (50km) drive from the airport and our academy – or an 8–10 minute flight with an AW139. | |
