Puffins in Paradise (May – July)
From May until the end of July, the Farne Islands come alive with thousands of nesting birds, and among them, the beloved Puffins steal the show. These charismatic seabirds, with their distinctive orange beaks, are a sight to behold as they go about their daily lives on the islands. Our boat cruises during this season promise a chance to witness these charming creatures in their natural habitat.
Seal Pupping Season (Late October – January)
As the seasons change and winter sets in, the Farne Islands become a haven for another remarkable species: Grey Seals. From late October until January, you can witness the heart-warming sight of baby seals during the seal pupping season. These endearing pups, with their innocent eyes and playful antics, are an absolute delight to see.

Throughout the journey, our knowledgeable guides provide informative commentary, sharing fascinating insights about the Farne Islands’ rich wildlife and history.
The real stars of the show, of course, are the Grey Seals.

They can often be seen basking on the rocks, especially at low tide when more of the islands are exposed. Witnessing these seals in their natural habitat is a truly memorable experience.
The Farne Islands serve as a crucial breeding ground, with over a thousand seal pups born each autumn. This thriving colony is a testament to the pristine environment of the islands and the dedicated conservation efforts in place.
