Seabirds-and-Seals - The Original Noss Boat Tours

When you need a wheelchair you have not many opportunities for such experiences. I am so happy that Marie and Brian make this possible. Seeing the coast of Bressay from the sea is so impressive. These high rocks, sailing in a cave, Giant's Leg were so amazing. We saw a lot of seabirds, puffins, kittiwakes and especially gannets, diving into the water. Marie and Brian were so kind and extremly helpful to get me on and off the boat and during the trip they were very attentive. I used a small power wheelchair. The sea was quite calm. After I made the trip, I would recommend a manual wheelchair because it is sauer, especially when the sea is more rouge. In total I can highly recommend the tour, it's worth every penny. Many thanks to Marie and Brian.

We went on a great boat trip with a friend on the Noss Boat using an All Terrain Wheelchair (we borrowed the chair from Ability Shetland - great service). The boat trip was great, the wheelchair was very comfortable and the suspension in the chair helped with a few lumps and bumps on the sea. We had a great view of the sea cliffs and caves and saw lots of birds. Marie and Brian were super helpful - really could not have been better. A great experience all round, definitely can recommend this trip to everyone.

I was visiting Shetland with my son, and was very keen to go on this boat trip to see all of the amazing birds and scenery around the coast of Bressay where we were staying. I am in my 90s and still active but need a wee bit of help with mobility, so we had borrowed a wheelchair from the lovely team at Ability Shetland for the week. We wondered whether we could board the boat with the manual wheelchair which we had borrowed. Well, we were pleasantly surprised. Not only did the website encourage people to let the tour operators know their accessibility needs, when we turned up they even had a specially built ramp to make getting on and off the boat seamless for wheelchair users. And the attitude and skill of the team meant that I felt safe and comfortable at all times, even when we we were out on the open water. They had done a wonderful job of securing the wheelchair once we were on board, in a great spot where I could still see everything that was going on. The audio headphones provided proved to be excellent too, and helped me with my hearing, to pick up the information that Marie was sharing with us through a microphone. We didn't use the toilet while we were on the boat, but it sounded like it would have definitely been accessible for me as I'm able to get out of the wheelchair, and could have managed that. We can't say thank you enough to Marie and the team, and hope that our experience encourages others to make the most of the brilliant and accessible attraction that they have created. We were also lucky with the weather! Marie told us that if we hadn't sourced our own wheelchair, they have a partnership with Ability Shetland, and could have arranged it for us. So that might be a good option for some. I gather they even make a donation to Ability Shetland each time they do this. Good eggs all round.
