Discover Grey Seal Cruises with Billy Shiel Farne Island Boats

At Billy Shiel Farne Island Boats Limited, we offer an unforgettable 1½ hour Grey Seal Cruise, perfect for wildlife enthusiasts and families alike. This exciting journey takes you around all of the stunning Farne Islands, providing excellent views of the magnificent Grey Seal colony.

With an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 Grey Seals residing on the Farne Islands, our boat tour provides multiple vantage points to observe these fascinating creatures. You’ll see them basking on the rocks, especially during low tide when more of the islands become exposed. Grey Seals are one of the UK’s most iconic marine mammals, and witnessing them in their natural habitat is an experience you won’t forget.

Each winter, over a thousand Grey Seal pups are born on the Farne Islands, contributing to the thriving seal population. Watching these pups grow and interact with the colony is a heartwarming sight, highlighting the importance of these protected waters in conserving marine wildlife.

Throughout the trip, an informative and engaging commentary will provide insights into the history of the islands, the wildlife that calls them home, and the ongoing conservation efforts. Our Grey Seal Cruise offers excellent value for money and is suitable for all ages, making it an ideal adventure for families, groups, or solo travellers.

Available all year round, our cruises are the perfect way to explore the natural beauty of the Farne Islands. Don’t miss out – book your Grey Seal Cruise today and experience the magic of the Farne Islands up close!
