The dates for the 2010 Seabird Cruises have now finalised as follows:-
THE GANNET & PUFFIN cruises sail on the Yorkshire Belle from Bridlington Harbour, around Flamborough Head and up to the spectacular chalk cliffs at Bempton, where passengers can get very close to the hundreds of thousands of nesting seabirds there. These include gannets, puffins, kittiwakes, guillemots, shags, herring gulls, fulmars and razorbills. These trips last for about 3 hours.
