Ornithologists have identified approx. 300 species of birds in the Faroe Islands.
Boat trips to view the various seabird colonies are arranged.
A fishing permit is required, and the season in brooks and streams is from 1 May until 31 August. There is a leaflet with instructions and regulations available at the Tourist Information Office. Footpaths are found on all the islands, most originating from the old days when roads did not exist. Most paths are still marked by cairns. Due to the hilly landscape, there are many magnificent views, and just a few minutes walk along a path, the visitor may experience completely new scenery.
