Seabirds-And-Seals

Seabirds-and-Seals offers you the ultimate wildlife experience with two daily 3-hour trips around Bressay & Noss National Nature Reserve, where you will get to enjoy Shetland’s abundant Seabirds & Seals and the views are awesome, giving you photographic opportunities with the awesome Noss cliffs in the background. You won’t believe how close they take you to the gannets, thousands of guillemots and hundreds of puffins, razorbills, black guillemots, gulls, shags and skuas. We sometimes (No False Promises) meet porpoises, occasionally whales, otters and dolphins. View Gallery. Their boat ‘Seabird’ is a 13.5m twin engine Catamaran, which will get you to the cliffs quickly and so to spend more time with the birds and seals. Seabird has a fine stable platform for viewing with lots of space inside & out to view Shetland’s spectacular seabird & seal colonies. Seabird has the biggest viewing platform on the fleet. Seabirds-and-Seals takes you really close up to the awe-inspiring sights and sounds (and smells!) of this extraordinary seabird metropolis. We are licensed to take 12 passengers per trip. Toilet facilities are provided and during the trip we offer tea/coffee/juice & biscuits. Wheelchair users also welcome, but must be able to get out of the wheelchair to access the cabin & toilet as the doors are not wide enough for wheelchairs. Weather permitting, you will sail through the magnificent rock arch of The Giant’s Leg and, with our underwater camera, view plankton, starfish, crabs, sea urchins, sea anemones, soft corals and jellyfish in the beautiful Orknis Geo (“The Orkneyman’s Cave”) or on a sheltered reef where fish glide above the kelp forest.
