Stroma Wildlife Cruises

Welcome to the official YouTube channel of Stroma Wildlife Cruises, a family-run wildlife and heritage boat tour company operating in the extraordinary waters of the Pentland Firth, just beyond John o' Groats.

You’ll find real moments from our wildlife cruises, including seals, seabirds, puffins, and the ever-changing drama of the Pentland Firth’s tides. We also explore Stroma’s human story — its ruined houses, old paths, and the lives of the families who once called the island home.

We also take you behind the scenes of running a small, family business in one of the most challenging and beautiful marine environments in the UK. From reading tides and weather to preparing the boat and making day-to-day decisions on the water, this channel offers a genuine look at what life is really like here.

If you’re interested in Scottish wildlife, island history, wild seas, or simply slowing down and experiencing a place that still feels untamed, you’re in the right place.
