If you love nature and have an interest in seabirds and seals, this is the tour for you.
From the pier, step aboard the MV ‘Seabird’ – a fast catamaran with a good stable viewing platform and lots of space inside and out to view Shetland’s spectacular seabirds and seal colonies.
This Seabird and Seals excursion will take you really close to the 25,000 gannets, thousands of guillemots and hundreds of puffins, razorbills, black guillemots, gulls, shags and skuas at Noss National Nature Reserve.
Along the way you’ll discover the fascinating coastline of the island of Bressay. There will be superb opportunities to see and photograph Shetland’s wildlife against the stunning backdrop of the 181-metre-high Noss sandstone cliffs. We bring along fresh fish to give you a guaranteed opportunity to see gannets encircling and diving right alongside the boat.
Porpoises are sometimes seen and very occasionally whales, otters and dolphins make an appearance. You will almost certainly get close to the grey seals and harbour seals.
