With expert commentary provided on every cruise, you'll get all the help needed to identify the sheer number and variety of birds that make Flamborough Head their home.

Puffin cruises

25 May to 19 July

To watch a teeming seabird colony on the television, or to look down on one from the top of a cliff is impressive; to sail in among the birds, though, is truly breathtaking.

We invite you to experience this spectacle, by joining us on a puffin cruise - ideal for both beginners and the more experienced enthusiast.

Watch colourful puffins swim around the boat, see feeding gannets plunging head-first into the sea, and get close to thousands of other seabirds, including guillemots and razorbills.

From May onwards, the cliffs at Flamborough and our Bempton Cliffs nature reserve provide breeding ledges for over 200,000 birds - the largest seabird city in England.

During the three hour round trip from Bridlington Harbour to the seabird colony of Flamborough Head, we will see many birds on the water as well as flying between their feeding grounds and the cliffs.

Prices are: Adults £12, children £6. Family ticket £30.
