Vestmanna Sea Cliffs
Vestmannabjørgini
Sightseeing boats take you into sea cliffs and caves several hundred meters high, where you can get close to colonies of puffins, guillemots, and other seabirds.
Vestmanna lies on the west coast of Streymoy. In summer, boat tours depart from the harbor and last about 2 hours. They sail along sea cliffs over 600 meters high, pass through narrow channels and sea caves, and offer views of thousands of guillemots, kittiwakes, and puffins on the rock faces. Tours must be booked in advance and are heavily affected by the weather, so wear waterproof outerwear. The harbor visitor center has a small exhibition and a café. It is about 40 minutes' drive from Tórshavn.
