Seabird Seafari Wildlife Watching Boat Trips
Seabird Seafari wildlife watching boat trips run daily from North Berwick until October, weather and numbers permitting.* As places are limited, we recommend you book in advance by calling +44 (0) 1620 890202. Online booking is not currently available for Seabird Seafari boat trips.
From North Berwick Harbour, the round trip takes an hour. Rigid inflatable boats whisk you out to the islands to allow you to enjoy more time observing the wildlife, including the famous Bass Rock gannet colony, described by Sir David Attenborough as "one of the twelve wildlife wonders of the world". The trips are fast and waterproofs are provided. Please note the minimum age for children is eight.
The price is £22 for adults and £17 for children (members of the Seabird Centre are entitled to 10% discount on all trips). A proportion of the income from the Seabird Seafari trips supports the Seabird Centre's SOS Puffin project. This year, we have introduced a new service where you can hire high quality binoculars for your boat trip. It'sworth booking these in advance when booking your trip - the cost is only £3.
Members of Wild Scotland and WiSE, the Seabird Centre follows a careful code of conduct for wildlife watching the Seabird Centre follows that allows a wonderful experience for our visitors, without disturbing the animals. Seabird Seafari trips don't land on the Bass Rock. The island is 
privately owned by Sir Hew Hamilton-Dalrymple and landing is only available on our Bass Rock Landing Trips.
