The particular route for the cruise will depend on the prevailing tide and weather conditions, however our two main routes are:
1) Leave John O' Groats Harbour and cruise through the Pentland Firth past Duncansby Head lighthouse passing close to sheer 200-feet high cliffs teeming with many different sea-birds followed by a close-up view of the famous Stacks of Duncansby; 2) Leave John O' Groats Harbour and cross the inner sound of the Pentland Firth for a close-up view of the uninhabited island of Stroma and colonies of Atlantic Grey Seals.
Birdlife will be seen on all our cruises however some have distinct breeding cycles and after their particular nesting season will travel far out to sea. For example Puffins will be seen in large numbers in June and July but in much smaller numbers in August.
