Combine the delights of 2 of our most popular trips to see Pembrokeshire’s most iconic seabird species, the Puffin and the Shearwater.

On this eveing trip we head out across St Brides Bay to the island of Skomer, home to over 46,000 Puffins (in 2025), 360,000 pairs of Manx shearwaters and the only Marine Conservation Zone in Wales. Sit in the tranquil waters of Skomer harbour watching the antics of the charismatic, technicolour Puffins as well as their larger cousins, the Guillemots and Razorbills, and learn about the flora, fauna and history of Skomer.


As we return across the bay you will witness one of the wonders of the natural world, as up to 360,000 Manx shearwater return to their burrows at dusk. The evening light on the islands is a photographer’s dream, but the real experience to be sought after is when we sit with the engines off, marvelling at the tranquil gliding flight of the shearwaters as they swoop around us, wingtips skimming the surface of the sea or rafting up off the islands as the sun sets. This trip provides the perfect end to the perfect day in Pembrokeshire.
