- Vestmanna Bird Cliffs - Embark on a two-hour boat journey along the breathtaking bird cliffs of Vestmanna, providing plenty of opportunities to observe and photograph a diverse array of breeding seabirds against the dramatic vertical cliffs. The tour navigates as close to the cliffs as weather conditions allow, weaving through basalt columns rising from the sea and into deep caves sculpted by the ocean’s power over millions of years. During the voyage, the guide recounts tales of ships seeking refuge from storms in Vestmanna throughout history, as well as stories of pirates who frequently raided this village due to its accessible and secluded location.
- Kvivikknit - The village of Kvívík is thought to be one of the earliest settlements in the Faroe Islands. Near the sea, the remains of two Viking houses, over 1,000 years old, have been unearthed. The area offered ideal conditions for settlement: easy access to and from the sea, slopes suitable for agriculture, and access to fresh water. The Stórá river flows through the village, generating electricity for the municipal buildings. The houses are closely packed in the deep valley, basking in the morning sun, with views of Vágar, Koltur, Sandoy, and Hestoy.
- Leynar - This tour also includes a visit to the picturesque village of Leynar, one of the few Faroese villages with a white sandy beach. The vibrant houses are perched on the slope, overlooking the beach, the north side of Vágar, the protected island of Koltur, and the village of Kvívík.
Locally, Leynar’s beach is affectionately known as a sort of Copacabana. It’s not unusual for the sun to shine brightly over Leynar, even when thick summer fog envelops Tórshavn, quickly filling the beach with joyful children and sun-seeking adults. After rainy summer days, schools of wild salmon can be seen swimming up the steps in Leynar River.
