Boat Tour to Vestmanna Sea Cliffs
Via the mountain road to the village Vestmanna where the excursion boat awaits. This is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Faroe Islands and will take you, weather permitting, through narrow sounds, into deep grottoes carved by the surf through ages, and close to the over 1500 feet high-rise cliffs. On the return to Tórshavn there is a stop at the Viking settlements in the village Kvívík.
Bird Island of Mykines
Full day excursion to Isle of Mykines, also known as the bird paradise due to the rich variety of birds on the island. See at close hand the impressive gannets that only breed on Mykines and the charming puffins with the colourful beaks.
Grotto Concert
Come along to the island of Hestur, where we will find the magical Klæmints-gjógv, where the world famous cave concerts will be held by Faroese artists. It is truely a unique experience. Every concert is unique, beause of the involvement of nature is changing: It can be so quiet so that you will hear the birds outside the caves, or perhaps the waves will give a completely different sound to the experience.
Tórshavn City Tour
