Family Outings

A perfect family attraction is the Macduff Aquarium, located about 20 miles from Windyheads. Home to local marine life from the Moray Firth, enjoy coming face to face with our native fish.

Or, if you’re looking for something a bit more adventurous then why not take a day trip to Lochter activity center, roughly 23 miles away which offers a range of family activities such as quad biking and horse riding.

Embark from various harbors along the coast and get up close and personal to the North Sea’s range of marine mammals and birdlife while on a boat cruise.

Banff’s ‘Dolphin Coast’ is a mecca for anyone seeking to catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures in their natural environment. Sightings are possible from along the rugged coastline but to really appreciate the dolphins as they swim and play offshore, a trip on a wildlife cruise is recommended to take you in close.

The region’s coastline has been known to attract killer whales and the occasional humpback whales offshore. There are also plenty of seals in these waters who regularly surface close to passing boats to investigate and they’re not shy!
