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.
