Were were taken to Inner Farne for an hour's visit by a Billy Sheil boat trip - that in itself was good. Inner Farne is only a small island but is home to thousands of birds of several types. When you land there's an introductory talk if want it where you're told about the island, the birds, and St Cuthbert's Chapel.
There's a circuit of Boardwalk that goes around the island and you are not allowed to step off this. Some birds are nesting right up to the boardwalk so there's no problem in spotting them. I was particularly looking for Puffins - there wasn't many about although I did see some. Apparently they're off feeding in the afternoons so maybe on an earlier trip you'd have seen more.
No problem though, there's lots of birds to see there. An hour is plenty of time to wander round a couple of times and spot your favourites.
Oh - with thousands of birds comes a certain smell!

We loved our visit to the Farne Islands - we arrived via the Serenity Boat trip from Seahouses and the National Trust staff on Inner Farne were so helpful and gave us lots of advice on the birds and their habitat. Joel was so excellent at carefully explaining about the puffins and the Eider ducks - we loved our visit and felt really privileged to be able to see such wildlife in such close proximity which would not have been possibly without the wonderful National Trust staff. Thank you!

Excellent commentary on the St. Cuthbert II. Probably a little expensive at £20 an adult and £15 for a child but still very enjoyable. My immediate family and I enjoyed our sea board tour of areas of the Farne Islands greatly. Lots of different variety of birds and numerous relatively close sights of grey seals.

Booked the trip at Seahouses if your going to do this trip don't park in the big car park it was £7 when we got to the harbour we saw parking was only £4 our trip was for 2 hours in a boat there was commentary on the boat which was very interesting. We 1st stopped to see 🐬🐬🐬which was an added bonus. Then we went on to see all the nesting birds on the edges of the cliff tops. 1st time I've seen puffins There are 1000's of them. We then went a bit further and saw the seals some were in the sea some on the rocks. The boats don't pull up right at the side of the seals,but they didn't seem bothered and just carried on basking on the rocks. Definitely well worth the £20. Will be back when we visit Northumberland again.

We travelled by boat at a cost of £20 each which was excellent value for money. We travelled via car to Seahouses and easily parked then hopped onto the boat for the ride to the Farne Islands. It was June and there were plenty of birds and seals. The Captain was very informative and friendly. It took about one and a half hours for the tour and social distancing was in force.

We visited the Farne Islands on a Serenity puffin tour boat trip during our holiday in Seahouses May 2021. The amount of birds was unbelievable, fantastic day out.

We took a boat trip from Seahouses harbour. Booking was easy at the Billy Shields kiosk. It was a lovely sunny day with a slight breeze and we enjoyed the one and a half hour trip round the islands. At this time of year we saw a large colony of grey seals, Grace Darling’s Longstone lighthouse and different types of birds. We would love to do this again earlier in the year to see the puffins. The captain was very knowledgeable too. A definite must do

Due to the COVID pandemic landing on the island is not allowed so you can only view the islands from a boat, trips go from Seahouses Harbour. In September most of the sea birds have left as nesting season is over.
However the grey seals are present in plenty, and gannets fly past and if your lucky you may have dolphins accompany your boat, we did!
There are several lighthouses including the one in which Grace Darling lived.

There is no better way to spend a day then sailing around the farnes. They are a sight to behold. The wildlife the reside there make it even more amazing from the puffins to the seals. It is a majestic place a must visit

Be prepared for the weather. Check the forecast and pick the best day you can. You will see a wide variety of sea birds and, of course, seals. However, Puffins only nest and bread in April/May/June.

How much would if cost for a group of girls brigade girls and leaders aprox total of 30 to hav a boat trip to farne island

You'd need to speak to a tour boat operator. Google them for addresses and phone numbers. Inner Farne, the island most commonly visited is owned by the National Trust and you either need to be members or may a fee. Again, speak to them for more information.

We're visiting the area next week and really wanted to do this trip with our 5 year old and 7 month old baby. Is there access for buggies?

We took our 4 month baby over in May this year - visited both Inner Farne and Staple Island. Was thankful we put her in the sling, as we saw someone else struggling with a buggy due to the pretty uneven surface. It would be doable but may shave a bit off the enjoyment factor.

Difficult but possible if you plan. You can get a train to Alnmouth station then a bus (but they are a bit hit-and-miss). Check the X18 and 418 bus timetables from Alnmouth Station. There is a bus (418) that goes on the coastal route just aftr 9 a.m and 11 a.m which could get you to Seahouses about an hour later, or less. Good luck, it is well worth it.

Hi. Are there any boat trip companies that let you visit Inner Farne for 2-3 hours? We would be coming a long way for this trip so would want longer than 1 hour on the island. Thanks

I did an all day trip with my local RSPB Group approx 3-4 years ago. We where all very lucky that conditions where very calm, hot and sunny and our birdwatching group where able to land on Staple Island as well as Inner Farne. Staple Island can be very difficult for landing at times and sometimes impossible, even when landing is available for landing on Inner Farne. The cost on that occasion for an all day trip by boat 3-4 years ago was over £30.00. I got free landing on both Islands as I'm a National Trust member. If your not a member of the National Trust, the coast of landing on both Inner Farne and Staple Island 3-4 years ago was over £8.00 per Island, that was £16.00 in total. The price now for landing this year will have gone up of course and in 2020 the landing charges will be available to see on the National Trust website, but not available as of yet for 2020. The prices for the all day boat trips are best checking the different boat companies websites. I don’t know if the costs of the all day boat trips are available yet on those websites. If not they will be available in 2020.

How much time does the visit take - how long is the boat trip and if you disembark how long did you stay?

You can do an all day boat trip to the Farne Islands, landing on both Inner Farne and Staple Island. Warning at times it’s impossible to land on Staple Island as it can be difficult to land. When I did the all day trip 3-4 years with my local RSPB Group we left Seahouses Harbour about 9.30am maybe slightly later and had about 2 hours on Staple Island in the morning, maybe more and about 2 hours on Inner Farne in the afternoon, again possibly longer. And also a long close up tour of all the Islands, longer than the normal standard trips. Out Group arrived back into Seahouses Harbour around 6.00pm. All the different boat companies provide an all day trip to the Farne Islands, but only during May, June and July. It’s highly recommended you book in advance for these all day trips as the trip are limited. Although normally there are spaces on the day these all day trips take place. The cost of these all day boat trips 3-4 years ago to the Farne Island was over £30.00 on that occasion, but of course the cost will have gone up since my trip. In addition the cost of landing on those two Islands was over £8.00 per Island, costing £16.00, unless your a National Trust member like myself and then you get free admission to those two Island. I would warn, that if your not an enthusiastic bird watcher like myself, probably the all day trips are not for you. The boat prices for the all day will be available for 2020 on the different boat companies websites either now or if not in 2020. The National Trust landing charges for the two islands are not available yet for 2020 on the National Trusts website, but should be available in late December on the National Trusts website

How much are the boat trips and is it suitable for 2 years up?

Cant remember the prices exactly but it's worth shopping around the stands. Also there's a discount to land if you are a national trust member. About a toddler I think they'd find it boring & long going on the boat especially once the animal spotting angle has been exhausted. Older children will love it though.
