"Get within arm's reach of 40,000 nesting puffins on wild sea stacks"
About
The Farne Islands off the Northumberland coast are home to one of Britain's most extraordinary wildlife spectacles — a colony of around 40,000 pairs of puffins that return every spring and summer to nest on the dramatic sea stacks. Boat trips run from Seahouses harbour and land on Inner Farne, where puffins waddle past your feet, grey seals haul out on the rocks, and Arctic terns dive-bomb overhead. It's a fully immersive wild animal encounter unlike anywhere else in England.
