Embarking on a two-hour boat trip around Skomer Island is a journey that promises a captivating blend of natural wonders and marine beauty.
Departing from the old lifeboat station at St. Justinians on the Pembrokeshire coast, your adventure begins sailing across the waters of St Brides Bay to Skomer Island.
Skomer Island itself, during the months of April to August, is an avian paradise, teeming with life. Home to an impressive 42,000 puffins and a staggering 300,000 pairs of Manx shearwater, it's a sanctuary for these remarkable seabirds.Â
The air is filled with their calls, and the cliffs come alive with their comings and goings. But it's not just the puffins and shearwaters that make this journey special; the island hosts a diverse array of other seabirds, creating a symphony of sights and sounds that truly immerse you in the natural world.
As the boat navigates around the island, there's always the chance of spotting some of the coastlines more elusive inhabitants. Keep your eyes peeled for the playful harbour porpoises breaking the surface and the occasional appearance of a pod of common dolphins, gracefully slicing through the waters.Â
