Island of Stroma or Stacks of Duncansby. The captain decides the route based on tidal conditions & weather. 

This is the natural habitat of the Atlantic Grey Seal, rare by world standards. We see them in their hundreds!

Look out for minkie whales, harbour porpoise, risso & common dolphins. They are all regular visitors to our waters.

If you are really lucky you may see the magnificent Orca! The apex predator of the oceans.

Puffins are best seen in May, June & July. In August they are much less in number & getting ready to head back out to the sea.
