Looking for an unforgettable wildlife adventure? Puffin boat trips with Billy Shiel Farne Island Boats Limited are the perfect way to immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the Farne Islands. As one of the UK’s most iconic seabird colonies, the Farnes come alive during the breeding season, offering a chance to see puffins up close in their natural habitat.

From April 2025 until the end of July, we’re thrilled to welcome visitors back aboard for our renowned Puffin & Seabird Cruises. These trips are ideal for nature lovers, birdwatchers, or anyone looking to experience the magic of these incredible islands.

What to Expect on Your Puffin Boat Trip

Our Puffin & Seabird Cruise offers a unique opportunity to witness the breathtaking spectacle of puffins nesting on the Farne Islands. As the breeding season begins, thousands of puffins return to these rocky shores, creating a vibrant display of activity.

During your trip, you’ll enjoy a relaxing journey on one of our comfortable boats, led by experienced skippers who know the islands like the back of their hand. As you approach the islands, you’ll be greeted by the sight of puffins darting through the air and diving into the water in search of fish.

In addition to puffins, the Farne Islands are home to a wide array of seabirds, including guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes, and arctic terns. Depending on the time of year, you may even spot seals basking on the rocks or bobbing in the waves nearby.
