Runavik

- Our main port - King's Harbour:
The Port of Runavík, also known as King's Harbour, is situated in the heart of Faroe Islands connected via subsea tunnels to Norðuroyggjar (20 minutes from Runavík to Klaksvík) and to Tórshavn (12 minutes from Runavík to Tórshavn). History tells us that both the King of Denmark and vikings used this harbour, because it was the safest natural harbour in the Faroe Islands.

The port offers good reception facilities with tourist information, Ask Me-staff and free shuttle buses on request. Cruise ships dock at King's Harbour, quaysides 2, 3 and 4. The total length of the quaysides is 567 m with water depths from 5 - 12 m (of which 321 m have a depth of 12 m).

- Our Expedition Cruise Destinationes
During the past few years we've developed a safe and sustainable product for expedition ships to our small villages Funningur, Elduvík and Oyndarfjørður.   By scrolling down to the bottom of our site, you'll find a presentation video of one of our visits.



Port attractions



  1.  Hiking

    A hike around the beautiful lake Toftavatn is very popular all year round. Approximately 4 km from Visit Runavík and back on a good and smooth path. Another popular hike is from the village Lamba to the village Rituvík. It's a 7 km hike and you’ll easily find your way by following the cairns standing one after the other from start to finish.
  2.  Shopping Street

    Here you can buy clothes, books, souvenirs, Faroese handicraft and much more. We recommend you to visit Heimavirkni, Berglon and Visit Runavík.
  3.  Drink and Dine

    A 10 min walk from the port will bring you to the local hotel in town; Hotel Runavík, which has a café and a restaurant. We also recommend Café Cibo and Etika (Sushi Restaurant), which are no further than 500 meters from the port.
