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

2026 planned dates:  All Fridays on the midday boat – 22nd May (SOLD OUT), 29th May (SOLD  OUT), 12th June (SOLD OUT), & 26th June (SOLD OUT).

To secure a place on one of these trips, please email info@westcoastbirdwatching.co.uk.  The cost is £95 per person, including both the boat fare and landing fee (tickets have already been secured).  Maximum group size is 7.

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, certainly before tickets go on sale on 1st December for the following season. Visit the Dale Sailing Pembrokeshire Islands boat trips website for more information.

** UPDATE 29/1/2026: all Skomer landing tickets from mid May to mid July are sold out.  Therefore I am not in a position to run any further trips in 2026. **
