The Wildlife Cruise
Immerse yourself in the thriving ecosystem of the Pentland Firth and witness nature at its most untamed.
A Voyage on the Wild Side!
90 mins
Leave the land behind and see Stroma from a new perspective. Our wildlife cruise keeps you low to the water, offering an intimate view of the island’s towering cliffs and hidden bays.
Whether it’s the curious gaze of a grey seal or the flash of a puffin’s beak, every trip offers a unique encounter with nature.
Our most popular cruise just got better!
Step into a world shaped by wind, tide and time. The waters around Stroma carry stories of sea cliffs, tidal races and the creatures that move through them — from sweeping seabirds to the shadows of whales beneath the waves.
A World Alive
With Wildlife
The waters around Stroma are home to a remarkable cast of creatures — from seals drifting in the tide to seabirds lifting on the wind and the occasional sweep of a whale’s fin.
Discover more about the species that thrive along this rugged coastline on our dedicated wildlife page.
Where does the cruise go?
The 90-minute wildlife cruise offers two spectacular routes. Because the Pentland Firth has some of the strongest tides in the world, the skipper will decide the best route on the day based on tide and weather conditions:
Option A
The Stacks of Duncansby A trip past the Duncansby Head lighthouse to see the iconic, jagged sea stacks and 200ft cliffs teeming with nesting seabirds.
Option B
The Isle of Stroma A cruise across the inner sound to the uninhabited island of Stroma to see its rugged coastline and the large colonies of Grey Seals.
