Puffin Boat Trip & Tantallon Castle Day Tour from Edinburgh

Join our Puffin Boat Trip & Tantallon Castle Day Tour to explore Scotland’s wildlife and history! Visit Tantallon Castle with stunning views, enjoy lunch in North Berwick, and spot puffins, seals, and more on a guided boat tour.

Visit the stunning Tantallon Castle, a medieval stronghold perched on cliffs overlooking the North Sea. Dating back to the 14th century, this fortress offers insights into Scotland’s feudal history and breathtaking views of Bass Rock and the surrounding islands. Explore the ruins and imagine life in this rugged coastal outpost.

Next, head to North Berwick, a charming coastal town known for its sandy beaches, lively harbours, and cozy cafés. Enjoy lunch at a local eatery, savor fresh seafood or other Scottish delicacies, and explore the town’s shops or simply relax along the shoreline.

The final part of the day is an unforgettable wildlife boat tour. From April to July, witness puffins nesting on nearby islands and observe Bass Rock, home to the world’s largest gannet colony. Seals can also be seen basking on rocky shores. Expert guides will share fascinating facts about Scotland’s coastal ecosystem.

This thrilling boat tour offers great opportunities for wildlife photography and unforgettable memories. After a day of coastal beauty and wildlife, return to Edinburgh.
