It was an amazing trip. Beautiful cliffs seen from the sea level. Excellent boat steering skills by the captain. Despite the rainy and cloudy day, the tour was an amazing experience. Brilliant guide explaining all the birds on the sea cliffs, weather was sunny after a brief bit of rain.
Enjoyable morning tour! Definitely recommended! The weather was amazing so we got the most out of it — great and interesting introduction from our guide about the area, birdlife, plus some curiosities and sailing in total safety close by those breathtaking cliffs. And we even spotted a seal! Great trip. Amazing views on and in between the rocks. Many birds and sheeps. These men were Irish monks that are believed to be the first humans ever to settle in the Faroe Islands more than years ago.

There is no doubt that the name Vestmanna originates from westmen. The Norwegian Viking excursions went mostly to the west and to the West Land, which was the collective name that Vikings gave all countries in the west. Most journeys from Norway went to Britain and Ireland and the Norwegians came across different people here, which they called westmen.
The people in Vestmanna might therefore be the second or third generation of Northerner, which married Scotsmen, Irishmen or people on the nearby islands. Historically Vestmanna has been a traditional farming village.
People have made a living out of sheep, milk from cattle, fishing and birding. The outfields in Vestmanna includes a vast area from the village Saksun with its recognisable landscape and distinctive old turf houses.
Here in deep valleys between rugged basalt hills and dense bluish mountains , the people of Vestmanna have stayed in lodging cottages when they went on either bird hunt or climbed the grass-covered steep cliffs to drive sheep into sheepfolds. In their minds, they met Irish munks named Papi or Christian munks. These munks lived here in ancient times.
