Seabirds-and-seals

Overview

Visit Britain's best bird cliffs aboard Shetland's top wildlife tour boat, Dunter III.

Sail with our expert local guides to meet birds and seals at amazingly close range. Marvel at the stupendous cliffs, stacks, coves and caves. PLUS the unique Shetland Submarine - every cruise includes underwater viewing with remotely-controlled video cameras, to reveal the teeming sea-life in the caves and kelp forests below the waves. See the entire food chain from tiny plankton to gannets and grey seals.

You'll be amazed how close we can take you to the 20,000 Gannets, 30,000 Guillemots and hundreds of Puffins, Razor bills, Black Guillemots, Kittiwakes, Shags and Skuas, not to mention the breath taking cliffs, caves and stacks. Most days we get to very close to seals and sometimes there are porpoises or whales if any are in the area at the time - Every trip is different and you never know what you might see!

We have a heated salon with panoramic views but the best views are from our open deck and the observation platform upstairs, so please wear warm clothing. There are even binoculars to borrow in case you forget to take your own.

Wheelchair users are welcome as our main deck and toilet compartment on the Dunter III are accessible for wheelchair users.
