St Kilda has a fascinating history...

Wildlife

When you go on a day trip with Kilda Cruises we can almost guarantee that you will see extraordinary and beautiful wildlife in one of the world’s most unspoilt environments. From your vantage point on board the Orca you are likely to see dolphins, basking sharks, minke whales and, occasionally, orca {killer whales} as well as graceful birds including sea eagles and golden eagles. The clear waters of the Atlantic are a superb habitat for many species of aquatic life. Kilda Cruises have a few lobster pots in Village Bay that we will lift on our arrival to check for a catch of crab or lobster.
