Absolutely fabulous - don’t miss out!
What a fantastic trip we had today with Serenity. We were very lucky to have great weather and even luckier when the crew spotted two dolphins accompanying the boat. All the staff we met from the booking office in the car park to the crew on board were very friendly, knowledgeable and seemed to genuinely care that their passengers had a great trip. It’s certainly value for money too for such an interesting trip with so much to see. We had the best time and highly recommend Serenity Boat Tours. You’ve got to go!

Grand day out for all
Absolutely brilliant trip. I've been on a few boat trips from seahouses but this one was the very best by far. I would have no probs going on the trip again and I can certainly recommend it to solo travellers and families alike. The crew on the serenity boat trip was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Thank You to all involved from the booking staff to the crew and anyone else involved.

A brilliant experience
We had a fantastic 1½-hour trip around the Farne Islands with Serenity, and it was a real highlight of our time in Northumberland. The trip was very well organised, with a friendly and knowledgeable crew who made the experience even more enjoyable. The scenery around the islands was spectacular, and seeing the seals in the water and on the rocks, along with the huge numbers of seabirds, was absolutely fantastic. The boat gave us excellent views and plenty of opportunities to take everything in. The 1½-hour trip was just the right length — enough time to see the wildlife and enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed. A brilliant experience from start to finish and one we would highly recommend. We’d definitely go again.

Don't think, just go for it !
We chose a gorgeous, bright sunny day and we couldn't have wished for a better trip around the Farne islands. The boat wasn't too crowded and we all managed to get around the boat to take photographs of the seals, birds and the environment. The staff were knowledgeable and informative. We had an excellent time and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about it.

Fabulous last Sunset Cruise of 2026
Had a fantastic cruise, the catamaran was very comfortable, very nice skipper and knowledgeable crewman.There were only 6 passengers onboard so it felt like our own private cruiseThe weather was kind to us and the sunset didn’t disappoint! Was desperate to see some dolphins but not to be on this trip. Doubtless we’ll do another cruise next year they’re excellent value for money and 2 hours at sea was just right as it was starting to get chilly. Highly recommend this cruise.

An informative and interesting trip.
What a great trip. The staff were friendly and helpful when we arrived at the harbour, the boat was clean and comfortable. The crew on the boat were knowledgeable and were able to answer any questions we had about the Farne Islands. They told us the story of Grace Darling and about St Cuthbert which was interesting. We did not see as many birds as we would have liked as the trip was out of season but we did see the seals which was great. Will definitely do the trip again in breeding season next year. Would highly recommend.

​Great day out, though the seals clearly didn't get the memo about being dynamic
​Overall, highly recommended. It pairs brilliantly with nearby Bamburgh Castle and local beaches. Very dog-friendly, though pets cannot join island landings. ​👉Top tip: Come before July for puffins. By late September, you will mostly just see seals. ​👉Experience Weather turned from sunny to overcast with serious coastal winds, so wear a heavy windbreaker. Our 12:45 return voyage felt like a theme park pirate ship on the rough waves. Seabirds were scarce, but we spotted lazy clusters of seals on the rocks and sleek heads diving in the water. ​👉Costs Parking is £4.50 for 2 hours or £9 for the day. Since you need 30 minutes to park plus the 1.5-hour tour, you are forced to pay £9, which feels a bit unfair. The Seabird and Grey Seal tour was £22 per person. Avoid online booking fees off-season and buy on arrival instead. Our boat only had 10 people, and 4 bought tickets on the spot.

Enjoyable trip despite lack of birds
Very enjoyable trip to the Farne Islands. Not many birds around but we did see a few and seals.
