Guided Trips
Skomer Island
Skomer Island is number one on everyone’s list of places to visit in Pembrokeshire, and that is due to the amazing seabirds and one in particular – the Atlantic Puffin! However, there is much more to Skomer than bright-billed auks, so make sure you get as much out of any visit as possible.
Everything you need to know about visiting Skomer is available on the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales website, as they manage the island under a lease from Natural Resources Wales.
Day trips
2025 dates: All sold out. 2026 dates to be announced autumn 2025.
2025 trip information:
To secure a place on one of these trips, please email me (info@westcoastbirdwatching.co.uk) as soon as possible, as I will only purchase boat / landing tickets when I reach the minimum of 5 people. The cost is £85 per person, including both the boat fare and landing fee (which are £44 per person plus booking fee).
If you would prefer a private trip (from 1 person upwards, and on dates other than those above), you will need to contact me to arrange a suitable date, and then book tickets for you / your party plus me. The landing trips to Skomer from Mid April to the end of July can sell out very quickly, so it is best to be organised book your trip early. Visit the Dale Sailing Pembrokeshire Islands boat trips website for more information.
