Every Day 20 June to 31 August. Something quite
different from our day tours. Buy your ticket at the
John O’ Groats Ferry Office and step aboard the Pentland
Venture for an exciting 90 minute cruise to view the
diverse marine wildlife of the Pentland Firth. During the
breeding season in June and July, the cliffs teem with
colonies of guillemots, puffins, razorbills, kittiwakes and
fulmars. Depending on tides and conditions, you can either
cruise to the Stacks of Duncansby or to the seal colonies
around the shores of the deserted
island of Stroma. A unique
opportunity for the whole family
to view real wildlife in their
natural environment.
No booking required.
