Mousa Boat Trips

Take a trip by boat to the diminutive island of Mousa and explore for the day; be sure to take your binoculars for wildlife watching!

Mousa Sound is one of the best places in Britain to see Harbour Porpoises. Adults give birth in the summer, when it is common to see them swimming with their new offspring feeding on the Sandeels. Their habit of coming to the surface and snorting as given rise to many names, the latin derivative being Porcus piscus, pig fish as it translates and hence porpoise today.
