Local People Sharing a Place We Love
Lake Above the Ocean Boat Tours is a locally operated experience created to share Leitisvatn, Trælanípa, and the surrounding landscape in a personal and welcoming way.
We believe the best experiences are simple: good company, local knowledge, beautiful nature, and enough time to truly enjoy the journey.
Discover the Experience
Born Beside the Lake
Lake Above the Ocean Boat Tours is a family-owned business based in Miðvágur, the village next to Leitisvatn. Growing up just minutes from the lake, we've spent countless hours exploring these waters, walking the surrounding trails, and experiencing the changing Faroese weather throughout every season.
For us, this isn't simply a place we work—it's part of our everyday lives. That's why we believe the best experiences come from sharing local knowledge, genuine hospitality, and the stories that make this landscape so special.
Whether it's your first visit to the Faroe Islands or your fifth, we hope you'll leave with a deeper appreciation for Leitisvatn, Trælanípa, and the unique nature that surrounds our home.
