Excursion Vestmanna sea cliffs tour at Torshavn

Enjoy a unique perspective on the Faroe Islands' spectacular scenery from both land and sea.

Drive to Vestmanna

Departing the harbor, drive alongside fjords where many waterfalls cascade from cragged, mountains into tranquil waters. Pass through tunnels carved from ancient rock and enjoy magnificent vistas of a lake-filled valley before descending to Vestmanna - a colourful village on the western coast of Streymoy.

Boat Trip along the cliffs

From here, enjoy an unforgettable boat trip with the direction of the current dictating whether you cruise north or south. To the north see ever more dramatic cliffs with sheep grazing high on their grassy tops. At the northernmost point of the journey, enter sea caverns and traverse channels between freestanding rock formations and coastal cliffs where seabirds including puffins and guillemots are often seen swirling above.

Turning south from Vestmanna you would cross the narrow sound and see the island of Vágar rising dramatically before you. Hugging the eastern coast the route passes spectacular gorges cut by the ever-present energy of water. Sea birds including puffins and guillemots can often be seen where they nest on sea cliffs. At the southernmost point of the journey sail beneath Troll Wife's Finger, an amazing pinnacle of rock standing sentinel to Vágar Island. From Vestmanna enjoy stunning views from the scenic ridge top road as you return to Torshavn.
