Plan your Holy Island visit from Seahouses - book tours, Events and activities

Departing from Seahouses, you’ll sail past the dramatic Northumberland Coastline to the wildlife-rich Farne Islands before continuing to tidal Holy Island, where a high tide cuts the island off and you can experience true island tranquillity; you’ll have two hours ashore to explore highlights such as the Priory Museum (English Heritage), Lindisfarne Castle (National Trust), St Aidan’s Winery for a free mead sample, and the Museum of Island Life and Visitor Centre, plus cafes, pubs and shops (opening times vary, so check before sailing); on the return you’ll enjoy seaward views of both Lindisfarne Castle and Bamburgh Castle, and pass Stag Rock Lighthouse-you might even spot dolphins-while dogs are welcome on board.
