What you will visit:
Vestmanna Sea Cliffs Cruise
The dramatic scenery and volcanic sea cliffs of Vestmanna are best discovered on a cruise that nimbly explores the grottoes, caves, sparkling cascades and jagged verticals that climb to almost 2,000 feet (600 meters). Float through this outer-worldly scenery and see thousands of seabirds soaring along the cliffs, sitting on nests and swimming in the glassine waters. Bring your camera and look for such species as the endearing Atlantic puffin, kittiwakes, and common and black guillemots. (Sightings are common but not guaranteed.)
What you will see along the way:
In the midst of the spectacular natural scenery of the Faroe Islands, you'll travel by boat through narrow sounds and deep within dramatic grottoes and caves carved by the surf throughout the ages. In the mountains, search for sheep climbing expertly across the rugged terrain, and spy out winged fauna as you float past the almost 2,000-foot-high cliff walls, which provide safe nesting places during the summer months for thousands of sea birds nesting, swimming and soaring along the cliffs.
Photo Opportunities:
Torshavn Viewpoint – The charming village spreads out below the hillside, offering views of the narrow winding streets, colorful turf-topped houses and the sparkling harbor below.
Special Notes:
Many species of birds migrate away from the bird cliffs starting mid-August. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed.Child Price:
