Puffins on Skomer Island
A 15 minute boat ride takes you to enjoy one of the most incredible wildlife experiences in Britain. Land on Skomer Island and enjoy the wonderful nature and trails at your own pace, before being picked up and returning to the mainland later in the day.

Located less than a mile off the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast, Skomer Island is a truly magical place to visit. Surrounded by high dramatic sea cliffs, Skomer is a National Nature Reserve and one of the finest wildlife sites in the country.

Well known for its Puffins, yet there is so much more to the bird paradise including Manx Shearwaters, Dolphins, Harbour Porpoises, Atlantic Grey Seal, Razorbills, Gannets, Fulmars and the unique Skomer Vole. The island is surrounded by some of the richest waters for wildlife off the British Isles from delightfully coloured sea slugs to magnificent cetaceans.

Thursday
Treginnis walk: 6 miles
This walk takes you over Wales’ oldest rocks - laid down some 600 million years ago during the Pre-Cambrian era. They're volcanic in origin, covered in places by layers of younger, sedimentary Cambrian rocks. After the walk we can stop off and explore St Davids; Britain's smallest city.

Alternative Wednesday option if the puffin trip is cancelled due to bad sea conditions
Caldey Island day trip and short walk
