Witness the fascinating Bird Cliffs in Vestmanna. You will sail in a boat to the Vestmannabjørgini and caves. You will be picked up in Tórshavn and then head north to the village Vestmanna.
The boat to the Bird Cliffs in Vestmanna only sails during the summer month. You are guaranteed lots of stunning sights.
From the harbour in the amphitheatrical village Vestmanna, you will sail in a local boat to a place out of this world. You will experience narrow straits, deep grottoes and almost 700-metre high cliffs soaring up from the ocean. This is an unbelievable sight. Even though your tour guide has seen this sight many times before, you will hear on his voice how impressed he is by the unbelievable nature.
Whilst in the Vestmanna bird cliffs, you might be lucky to get a glimpse of the most adorable puffins and you will definitely see colonies of other birds such as razorbills and guillemots. The Atlantic puffin spend the summer in the Faroe Islands.
The rich birdlife will be only few metres away from you. The birds are nesting in rocky crevices and under rock slabs so you will have the chance to get some great photos. It is utterly incredible to see all the birds thriving on these cliffs by the Atlantic Ocean. The whole area is untouched and as unspoiled as it can be.
Standing on board the boat looking at the sheer cliffs and feeling the ocean around you is an incredible experience. This is the reason why Vestmanna Bird Cliffs are one of travellers’ favourite destinations in the Faroe Islands. This is a boat tour of a lifetime. You will sail for around two hours.
On your way back to Tórshavn, you will stop in the village of Kvívík nestled in stunning surroundings. When on your way from Kvívík to Vestmanna, you will pass the igloos in the middle of nature. These hexagonal shaped cottages have got lots of attention on social media.
There is so much beauty on this tour. Many people will find themselves speechless.

A really perfect experience! I did the visit of the Vestmanna cliffs with this company. The organization was really perfect: they picked me up at my hotel, drove me to Vestmanna and gave me a sandwich for the lunch on the boat. At the end of the visit, I had some time to look at the surroundings and they brought me back to my hotel.

What a great trip! The guides were lovely and shared a lot of interesting history about the Islands and the country. The number of birds on these islands are quite impressive and the captain was entertaining and informative as well. Also appreciated the numerous photo stops and the trip to the knitting shop in Vestmanna. Great day!
