The best time to go to Noss is typically during the summer months, from May to August, when the weather is at its mildest and wildlife viewing opportunities are at their peak.During this period, the days are long, offering extended daylight hours for exploring the island's impressive cliffs and observing its vast seabird colonies. The sea conditions are generally calmer, making boat trips around the island, a popular way to see the gannets, puffins, and other species, more comfortable and reliable. This time of year is particularly good for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers who want to see the island's unique wildlife.For those looking for a slightly quieter experience with still good chances of seeing wildlife, late spring (May) or early autumn (September) can also be good. While the weather might be a little cooler and more unpredictable, there are fewer visitors, and you can still witness a significant amount of bird activity before the migratory species depart.
