Ride by coach to the village of Vestmanna and board a boat to head out to the famous bird cliffs.
All your senses will awaken with the sound of seabirds, the salty scent of the sea, and its cool spray on your face. Bleached, weather-beaten cliff formations resound with the raucous riot of avian live that calls the sea cliffs home.
You'll cruise along the cliff wall and into a narrow gorge, where sheer rock walls on both sides reach vertiginously for the sky.
The boat enters one of the many grottos and, for a moment, daylight disappears. Darkness and the sound of dripping water surround you before you emerge on the other side. Take plenty of photos to help you remember the details later.
Returning to Tórshavn, you'll travel via the mountain road and stop at the viewpoint looking over the capital.
Please note: Many species of birds migrate away from the bird cliffs starting mid-August. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf.
