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.
