Birdwatch Cruise
Sorry this trip is only available by prior arrangement/private hire
Child prices are for age 5-15. Under 5’s travel free. No concessions.
Due to the time spent on board, dogs are not permitted on this trip.
This non-landing Bird Watch Cruise lasts approximately 3 hours depending on conditions.
This extended non-landing trip allows extra time to view and photograph the abundance of bird life which nests out at the Farne Islands between May and July.
Where possible, the boat will be anchored to allow extra viewing and photographic opportunities.
Highlights include views of Puffins, Guillemots, Shags, Cormorants, Kittiwakes, Arctic Terns, Razorbills and Eider Ducks.
The tour also includes a visit to the Grey Seal colonies and we follow the route Grace Darling and her father took during their heroic rescue in 1838.
A full commentary is given en route and our knowledgeable crew are available to answer any questions.
