Adorable puffins are guaranteed on this tour of some of our busiest local puffin roosts with an experienced ecologist. Whether you have your own transportation or not, we will get you that sighting. But more importantly, the magical experience of the Caithness puffin colonies. Watch them take off and climb into their burrows to nestle and feed their young, flying overhead amongst other seabirds such as common and black guillemots, fulmar, razorbills, cormorants using high powered binoculars. Look out for our grey seals, or on a lucky day, out local whales and dolphins. There are easy routes for young children or tougher trails that get you up close for hardier hikers, roosts accessible by car or by public transportation from any Caithness Town! We'll suit this tour to you. Good walking boots are essential, and bookings are subject to cancellation during bad weather, which can cause dangerous conditions. Binoculars and ID guides provided.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
With very few landmarks with ample parking available in Thurso, we have chosen an extremely functional and noticeable meeting point next to the Orca mural on the side of our loos!
