Ride by coach to the village of Vestmanna.
Board a boat and sail out to the famous sea cliffs. All your senses will awaken with the sound of thousands of sea birds, the salty scent of the sea and the cool spray on your face. The stunning, weather-beaten cliff formations are home to a raucous riot of birds.
You'll cruise along the cliff wall, and the boat slowly enters one of the many grottoes where sheer rock walls rise vertically on both sides towards the sky. For a moment, daylight disappears. Darkness and the sound of dripping water surround you and then, suddenly, you emerge on the other side.
The boat stops for a while so you can enjoy the scenery. Take photographs to help you remember the details.
After the boat trip, return to Runavík and the ship.
Notes:
Many species of birds migrate away from the bird cliffs starting in mid-August. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. It is essential that you wear warm, layered clothing to fully enjoy and participate in this excursion; outer layer should be waterproof and windproof. Bring gloves, a warm hat and a scarf.
