Seabirds-and-Seals - The Original Noss Boat Tours

Join Marie, Brian and crew - all Shetland born and bred - aboard The Noss Boat 'Seabird', a very comfortable twin engine catamaran with the most spacious viewing platform, allowing passengers to enjoy 360° panoramic viewing. We are all highly experienced and knowledgeable about the local area with a lifetime experience of boats, the sea, nature and our local heritage around us. On this amazing wildlife spectacular you get to enjoy close-up views of Shetland's abundant wildlife and one of Europe's most accessible seabird colonies - Noss National Nature Reserve. All our tours navigate around Bressay and the cliffs of the famous Noss National Nature Reserve. A trip to Noss is an amazing wildlife spectacle and allows you to enjoy Shetland's plethora of seabirds and seals, as well as spectacular views. You will get unbelievably close to the awe-inspiring sights and sounds of this extraordinary seabird metropolis, which is home to 25,000 Northern gannets as well as thousands of guillemots, black guillemots, puffins, razorbills, shags and skuas. Along the way, we will regale you with local history, folk tales and geology, share our great knowledge of Lerwick's beautiful harbour, the Bressay Lighthouse, the Orkneyman's Cave, the magnificent Giant's Leg rock arch, and much more. Refreshments are provided on every tour, toilet onboard and our catamaran is wheelchair accessible onto the boat - you can find out more about accessibility via our website.
