Cruising by Vestmanna Cliffs

The imposing Vestmanna Cliffs, or Vestmannabjørgini as they're known locally, are one of the Faroe Island's most famous, and most sought-after, sights. 

As you sail the waters along the west coast of Streymoy Island, and the cliffs come into view, you can't help but gaze in wonder at the nature-formed jagged peaks and sheer-drop cliff faces of these grass-smothered rock formations. 

During the summer months, look to the edges of the cliffs - you're sure to spot any number of bird colonies of varying species, such as puffins, guillemots, fulmars and kittewakes.
