Discover the stunning wildlife on St. Kilda, the UK’s only dual UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  • Explore the abandoned settlement of St. Kilda during a nature landing in small boats (RIBs)

  • Discover one of Britain’s most inhospitable islands, with cliffs and sea stacks teeming with birds

  • Learn about the island’s biodiversity and how people successfully survived here for millennia

  • See the endemic species of seabirds and animals that call this remote island home


Where nature rules

We will take small boats (RIBs) to St. Kilda. Explore one of the British Isle’s most remote destinations, which is home to over a million seabirds, including the UK’s largest colony of Atlantic puffins. However, not a single human lives here. Visit the abandoned village and find out why the island was evacuated in 1930. Look out for native wildlife like Soay sheep, St. Kilda mice and St. Kilda wrens.
