Hoy Wildlife Cruise
Set sail from Stromness on a captivating 2-hour evening wildlife tour along the dramatic coastline of Hoy.
Set sail from Stromness on a captivating 2-hour evening wildlife tour along the dramatic coastline of Hoy. As the golden light of dusk settles over the cliffs, we journey towards the towering sea cliffs of St John’s Head, home to thriving seabird colonies. Keep watch for guillemots, fulmars, kittiwakes, and puffins as they wheel and call above the crashing waves below. Continuing south, we approach the iconic Old Man of Hoy, a striking sea stack rising from the Atlantic, where the changing evening light creates a truly unforgettable view. With calm seas and the chance of spotting seals, porpoises, or even a dolphin, this relaxing evening cruise offers a perfect blend of scenery, wildlife, and atmosphere in one of Orkney’s most breathtaking settings. In the event of adverse weather conditions the tour route may be changed to allow it to go ahead. This will be at the discretion of the skipper.
