A Three Hour Tour
Get ready to take a cruise to one of the most dramatic natural wonders of all the Hebrides Islands, The Isle Of Staffa. The approach to Staffa by sea is breathtaking, with great basalt columns flanking the deep caves which have inspired so much praise. Fortunate guest with good weather, get to land and explore Fingal’s Cave or Clamshell Cave where the basalt columns are intricately curved.
On the way to Staffa keep an eye out for dolphins, porpoises and minke whales which are often seen during the warmer months. And a large colony of puffins breed on Staffa every summer and are always a firm favorite with visitors who can see them congregate on the cliffs, diving into the water then return with a beakful of fish. The puffins are very tolerant of people and it’s possible to get very close to them, making for some great photo opportunities.
