For these reasons and the changing climate of the Faroe Islands, the daily program can be changed or reversed for security reasons, always trying to offer solutions with similar characteristics. The guide knows perfectly the characteristics of the terrain and climate and will be the one who makes the decisions on-site and only he who for security reasons has the power to make the final decision.
