9-Night St. Kilda and Shiant Islands Seabird colonies on MV Hjalmar Bjørge

This expedition takes you to the remote St Kilda Archipelago, a UNESCO World Heritage Site 40 miles west of the Outer Hebrides. St Kilda is home to the UK's second largest gannet colony (60,000 pairs), the largest fulmar colony (60,000 pairs) and 150,000 puffin pairs (25% of the UK population). St Kilda is also home to 90% of Britain's Leach's Petrels and the endemic St Kilda Wren. The itinerary also includes the Shiant Islands, known for their dramatic landscapes, thriving seabird colonies and abundant marine life. While the weather may occasionally alter plans, each anchorage promises a memorable experience.
