🍂 SEPTEMBER UPDATE 🍂

As we head closer to September, we'd like to let everyone know about a few changes to our schedule.

Stroma Island Tours will now be running at weekends only throughout September.

We'll be opening bookings one weekend at a time, so please keep an eye on our pages for the latest availability.

If you're looking to arrange a private group booking during the week, we'd still love to hear from you. Get in touch and we'll do our best to accommodate your preferred date.

Wildlife Cruises

As summer draws to a close, many of the seabirds that have made Stroma their home over the last few months begin their annual migration out to sea. This means there are naturally fewer birds around than at the height of the season.

That said, there's still plenty to experience on the water. You'll continue to enjoy spectacular coastal scenery, the Ducansby stacks, other wildlife like seals, and all the incredible sights that make a trip around Stroma and Duncansby so special.

📍 Keep an eye on our page for September weekend availability, or visit our website to plan your next adventure.

Stormy and Sleth will be speaking about their trip in the Nethercliff hotel 5th May at 7.00pm. Open to the public.

The Long Row Home was all about pushing boundaries, testing limits, and raising funds for two incredible charities: the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) and SCAA (Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance).

And, while we have certainly succeeded in the mental and physical challenge, and raising money for our chosen charities (a sincere thank you to all our supporters), the forecasted weather led to us pausing the row in Tobermory on 20 August 2024.

Follow Allan Lipp and Mhairi Ross, known as Stormy and Steth, on their world-record rowing attempt to circumnavigate Great Britain. Join their journey.
