Last place! Farne Islands Puffins Tour! - 8-days/7-nights of Puffins Galore!

FINALLY! Inner Farne Island is open again for 2024!

Join us on a magical 8-day trip to experience one of the most exciting seabird colonies in the UK!

We have scheduled six separate boat trips to photograph the birdlife on the Farne Islands and our lovely accommodation is close to one of the world's great coastal castles, Bamburgh Castle!

Along with Dunstanbugh Castle, this gives us the unique opportunity to indulge in some bonus landscape photography with two stunning subjects in the evenings.

Northumberland's Farne Islands are home to more than 20 bird species, with the highlight being over 80,000 incredibly charismatic puffins!

Along with the puffin extravaganza, the islands' other species include arctic terns, guillemots, razorbills, shags, kittiwakes, eider ducks, plus grey seals basking in the sun by the water's edge. More info can be found at https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/farne-islands/features/wildlife-calendar
