Am I too physically unfit for a trip to the Faroe Islands?

Hello!

I’m a 26 years old woman. There is an organized trip with people my age to the Faroe Islands in the first week of June. I’m not sure whether to accept or not, and I have one week left to pay.

The trip is 8 days long. I should mention that I have never done any hiking before. I walk a lot in the city but I don’t go to the gym or exercise and I have a normal weight.

I would be happy just to go there to see the nature and the villages, but the trip includes some hikes, in particular the Sørvágsvatn hike and especially the Drangarnir hike, which they themselves describe as already very tiring and around 6–7 hours. They also mention Kallur Lighthouse, Akraberg Lighthouse, Hvannhagi.

There are also visits to towns, villages, and waterfalls.

I’m not really worried about moving between islands, taking ferries, or driving, but I am specifically concerned about the hiking.

Is it too physically demanding? I can’t really understand it. Any information or tips would be very helpful.

Thank you very much!
