COMPLETE PACKING GUIDE FOR THE FAROE ISLANDS
The Faroes Islands is a special destination and there’s as much thought required for what to pack than there is for what to do.
Through the year the weather can be very temperamental so it’s important to pack for all eventuality’s whether that be rain, snow, wind and the sun. There’s a chance you might see all of these in one day!
BACKPACK / SUITCASE
If you plan to take a camera, drone, laptop as well as winter clothes you are better off going for a large suitcase. However, if you see yourself camping or carrying your belongings then a backpack. I choose a small backpack for my hikes and a suitcase to take all my gear.
