St Kilda, a remote archipelago 40 miles west of the Outer Hebrides, offers a truly unique wildlife cruise experience.

The journey across the Atlantic leads to dramatic cliffs and untouched landscapes, with the main island of Hirta surrounded by smaller islands like Boreray and Soay.

As you sail through scenic, secluded bays and anchor near lonely islands, you’ll witness breathtaking wildlife, including sea and golden eagles, porpoises, seals, basking sharks, and even orcas and minke whales.

The ultimate destination is Village Bay on Hirta, the largest of St Kilda’s four islands. Rising dramatically from the Atlantic with the UK’s highest sea cliffs, the St Kilda islands host vast seabird colonies, including puffins, gannets, fulmars, and Leach’s petrels.

On the return journey, you may anchor at the remote Monach or Heisker Isles, known for their vibrant wildflowers, sandy beaches, and large grey seal colony. The cruise also explores the Outer Hebrides and the Small Isles, offering an unforgettable blend of spectacular scenery, rich history, and abundant wildlife at every turn.
