In case of emergency dial 112.
Be aware that sheep can be on the street, it can be difficult to spot them especially at night and if the sheep is black. The mountains on the west coast are very steep and suddenly they end and go strait down to the ocean, there are normally no warning signs, so take care! The edge can be a bit loose, don't go too near the edge. Like elsewhere in the Faroes fog can come quite suddenly, be aware of the fog, that you don't go over the edge somewhere. In some places the ocean can be dangerous, if you stand on the coast in certain places or in certain harbors.

boat trips
There are two fast going boats RIB, which make boat trips along the west coast of Suðuroy or wherever you wish to go. If you are a group it is cheaper, if it is a planned trip the price is around DKK 350. The boats are called Tornado, website: (http://www.rib62.com/) and Scorpion, website: (http://www.vagur.com/scor...).
The old English smack Johanna TG326 from Vágur sometimes makes boat trips for tourist and can also be hired for shorter or longer trips but with the regular crew to sail the vessel. Johanna was built in 1884 in Sussex, England. Website: (http://www.johanna.fo/ind...)
