There have been lots of cetacean sightings already this year in the wider west coast area. Fingers crossed for a great year of whale sightings!

Puffins reappear on the waters around the Treshnish Isles and Staffa in March. They become established back ashore at some point in April. Puffin Therapy is just around the corner!

That’s the Turus Mara fleet away to bed. It is always good at this time of year to have them safe at the boatyard for the winter.

Launch date in 2025 is only a few short months away and bookings are already live on the website!

Lovely day at sea today - not bad for the end of October. Hope to run a couple more trips next week if the weather forecast stays reasonable. Drop us a message if you fancy an end of season visit to Staffa!

Dolphins always seem to have so much fun!

Figures from the Treshnish Isles have shown a record number of breeding Puffins.

Reports from the Treshnish Isles Auk Ringing Group (TIARG) confirm that Lunga now has over 6400 occupied Puffin Burrows – a record number of nearly 13,000 breeding puffins

This morning our rangers were monitoring Staffa's black guillemots, also known as tysties. Happy to report we still have a healthy population of these endearing birds - love their big red clown feet! @N_T_S @TheSeabirdGroup @JNCC_UKseabirds @smp_seabirds @Ellingbry
