ABOUT PUFFINS
ATLANTIC PUFFINS
Hardy Boat Cruises is a small, eco-tourism business lovingly cared for and operated by a local family. We are dedicated to the environment, sustainability, conservation and education. We offer an authentic experience with a genuine love for the Maine coast, our community and the people we serve.
At Explore.org you can find a series of Puffin cams on Seal Island in Maine. These are wonderful to watch and you can track the Puffin chick from egg to fledgling…
