The boat carried life raft and jackets and fabulous views from the boat. The boat stopped at each of the highlights round the islands with a sufficient talk about each one. Getting off at inner Farne was an absolutely amazing experience, worth every penny. The birds were spectacular especially the puffins.

Full description

2.5 hours approximately overall. (Inclusive of 1 hour landing approximately).

This is a landing trip with approximately one-hour landing on Inner Farne, National Trust Bird Sanctuary. Cruise around all of the islands with full expert commentary by Trinity House Lighthouse Attendant, George.

Visit all of the resident and migratory seabirds such as Puffins, Guillemots and Razorbills close-up from the boat, when they have arrived at the Farne Islands (April-July).

Also, visit one of Europe's largest Grey Seal colonies. The Grey Seals are luckily with us all year round.

Follow our local heroine Grace Darling's rescue route. Who better to traverse Grace Darling's route than with current Longstone Lighthouse attendant, George?

George will also deliver a full expert commentary en route. Incorporating all of the wildlife and local history. He'll also share with you some quirky information he has amassed over the years. Also, our crew is incredibly knowledgeable.

Inner Farne is the largest of the Farne Islands Group. Here you can land on the National Trust Bird Sanctuary for approximately one hour. Free for National Trust members.

Former home to St.Cuthbert, the Inner Farne is home to one of the largest Bird Sanctuaries in the UK. In April, the Puffins and Terns have started to arrive but they don't usually start breeding until May, all the way through until July.

It also houses two very important religious buildings. St.Cuthbert's Chapel and the Peel Tower. The island is also lucky to host Inner Farne Lighthouse. One of the first ever to be both automated and powered by solar energy.

The boat tour was a fantastic experience! Everything was well-organized, and the commentary from the crew was both informative and engaging. The highlight for me was seeing an incredible number of puffins.. it was absolutely magical. The landing on Inner Farne, the cruise around the islands, and the visit to the seal colony all added to a truly memorable day. I would highly recommend this tour, especially during puffin season!
