Life on the water

The Kintra Gallery

Fresh from the boat — puffins, seals, cliffs and happy faces from recent trips. This is what a day with Kintra looks like.

A big thank you to James Allen (our crew member and guide during the 2026 season) for providing us with most of these beautiful moments and pictures. Please feel free to check him out on Instagram: @orange_in_the_blue
