Local company Caithness Seacoast will take you out on the water, where there’s the chance to spot seals, whales, porpoises, dolphins and more. Not to mention the abundant birdlife, including puffins, guillemots, razorbills and gannets. You can also get a closer look at the lighthouses and landmarks dotted about the coastline.
