There’s something truly magical about spotting puffins, watching grey seals bask on the rocks, and breathing in the fresh North Sea air as you cruise along Northumberland’s wild coastline. If you’re planning boat trips to Farne Islands, then booking the right place to stay is just as important as the trip itself. At Hemera Holidays, we offer the ideal base for your coastal adventure, with hand-picked lodges and cottages located just a short drive from Seahouses.
Northumberland is full of hidden treasures, but the Farne Islands remain one of its most awe-inspiring highlights. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, history buff or just looking to try something different on your next UK getaway, this unforgettable day out is one to tick off the bucket list.
Why the Farne Islands Are a Must-Visit
The Farne Islands sit just off the coast of Seahouses and are made up of around 15 to 20 small rocky islets. During spring and summer, they come alive with thousands of nesting seabirds including puffins, terns, razorbills and guillemots. It’s also one of the best places in the UK to spot Atlantic grey seals.
Boat trips to Farne Islands give you front-row access to this incredible wildlife show. From the safety of a boat, you can cruise past the colonies and hear the calls of birds circling above. Some tours even let you land on Inner Farne to walk among the puffins and explore the historic remains of St Cuthbert’s chapel. It’s a day out filled with fresh air, fantastic photo opportunities and a real sense of connection to nature.
