Irdi is originally from Norðdepli but has lived in Klaksvík for the past few years. By day, she works as a tour guide and also rents out apartments in Norðdepli. She has always had a deep connection to nature and the mountains, and she has hiked every peak in the Faroe Islands herself.
She shares with us that the Northern Islands often attract mountain enthusiasts. The hikes here are some of the most exciting and challenging – not the easiest and not for everyone, but they offer truly unique experiences.
Being a tour guide in the Faroe Islands requires the ability to adapt to the ever-changing weather conditions. Ideally, you should have a plan A, B, and C. Irdi organizes several regular tours in the Northern Islands, such as a sunset hike on Klakk. At the same time, she emphasizes that tours can be tailored to the preferences and wishes of the guests.
For Irdi, mountain hiking is not only thrilling but also a form of therapy, where you can get close to nature and find inner peace. The Faroe Islands offer countless exciting spots to explore, but Irdi always advises visitors to be well-prepared or to have a guide with them. While the mountains may not be towering by international standards, they rise straight out of the ocean and can be steep and rocky. Nature must always be treated with respect.
