Boat Tour in Streymoy to Vestmanna Bird Cliffs from Tórshavn

Streymoy is the largest and most populous island in the Faroe Islands, known for its striking landscapes, charming villages, and cultural landmarks. This boat trip in Streymoy departs from Tórshavn, the capital and largest city of the Faroe Islands, located on the island's southern coast.

The boat tour to the Vestmanna Bird Cliffs starts with pick-up from your chosen location in Tórshavn (please specify when booking). You'll be greeted by the experienced guide and driven to the harbour in Vestmanna Village for your exciting boat trip. In a small intimate group, you'll board the boat and set off sailing along the coast of Streymoy. The boat will cruise beside the majestic Vestmanna Bird Cliffs for approximately two hours, approaching as closely to the mighty cliffs as the weather allows.

The towering cliffs are home to thousands of seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and fulmars. You'll navigate sea caves and rock formations to observe the birds up close and capture some amazing photos. You may spot puffins diving beneath the surface of the water for fish, flocks of sheep grazing on the green slopes above, or curious seals popping their heads up. As you admire one of Europe's most impressive bird cliffs, the guide will share insights about ships seeking shelter from storms in Vestmanna throughout history, as well as stories of pirates who repeatedly raided this village.

After your boat tour of Vestmanna Bird Cliffs, the guide will also take you on a sightseeing trip to Leynar and Kvívík, two quaint villages on Streymoy. The first stop is at Leynar, one of the few Faroese villages with a white sandy beach. It is a small, idyllic village with colourful houses nestled on a lush slope. Then, you'll visit Kvívík, a historical village believed to be one of the first settlements in the Faroe Islands. You'll explore the remains of old Viking houses and learn about the island's early history. Kvívík is known for its traditional Faroese architecture, with turf-roofed houses nestled in a scenic valley by the sea. At the end of your sightseeing tour in Streymoy, you'll be transferred back to your pick-up point in Tórshavn.
