Whether you’re an avid birdwatcher or just curious to see puffins up close, the Puffin & Seabird Cruise promises plenty of photo-worthy moments.
A Seabird Spectacle Like No Other
In addition to puffins, the Farne Islands are home to one of the UK’s most spectacular seabird colonies. Throughout the cruise, you’ll spot an incredible array of species, including guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes, and arctic terns. With expert guidance from the experienced crew, you’ll learn fascinating insights about these birds, their breeding habits, and the delicate marine ecosystems they call home.

The cruise also offers breathtaking views of the rugged Farne Islands. From dramatic cliffs teeming with seabirds to historic lighthouses, the scenery is just as captivating as the wildlife. Keep an eye out for seals lounging on the rocky shores or bobbing in the water—a frequent sight during the trip.
