The Yorkshire coast, once famous for its whaling fleet which sailed from Whitby is now becoming famous for its whale watching!
In late summer Minke Whales appear, following the Mackerel shoals and Herring. These fantastic mammals are the most regularly seen large cetacean on our coast, watch the YCN video below from some up close whale action. Harbour Porpoise are with us throughout the year and seen on most of our trips. Bottle-nosed Dolphins are now being seen all year round on the coast in increasing numbers. In 2024 we also enjoyed great views of Humpback Whales!
These special five hour trips have been designed to allow the flexibility to target the best stretch of coastline depending on where the seabird and/or cetacean action is prior to the tour.
Throughout the trip you will have a great opportunity to learn about field craft and identification from our local expert guides in a small friendly group environment.
Each tour includes the boat trip and an expert YCN guide in a small group environment. The meeting point will be the harbour Staithes village in North Yorkshire. A meeting place map will be sent by email along with your booking details.
Please Note:
If you have any mobility issues please email or call us prior to booking info@yorkshirecoastnature.co.uk
Access to the boat is by a short ladder from the harbour side
Payment must be made in advance of any booking. All bookings will be confirmed by email which will contain important details of your trip.
