About Greyhope Bay Walking Tours

Greyhope Bay is located at the Torry Battery, a historic monument at the mouth of Aberdeen Harbour, with panoramic views over the city and coast just 3 miles from Aberdeen city centre. Our friendly walking tours provide your clients with the opportunity to connect with our native wildlife, including seabirds and our charismatic bottlenose dolphins. Aberdeen is one of the best places in the UK to spot dolphins and is one of the few places where they can be seen year-round.

On site, the centre sits at an elevated vantage point with a glass fronted viewing platform, a café, outdoor trails and ample parking. We offer experiences for private groups and FIT. As each season brings something different to see, these experiences are available year-round.

Greyhope Bay is a local charity focused on connecting people to nature and their local heritage, building community, and reimagining our relationship with the coast.
