This Trip is operated through our sister company

Join us on a trip around the
RSPB reserve of Ramsey Island.
Join us on a trip around the RSPB reserve of Ramsey Island. This wonderful marine wildlife tour offers something for everyone. Our experienced guides will impart detailed, intriguing information about all of the local wildlife that you will encounter, as well as some old tales of shipwrecks, legends and history.
Ramsey Island has spectacular scenery. On this trip we will explore echoing sea caves, towering rock gorges, see complex and intricate geology and sit under the staggeringly tall sea cliffs. Experience the tidal race of Ramsey Sound and the famous Bitches reef, which we will navigate in our purpose built vessel, an unrivaled experience of the power of the ocean.
During the spring the sea cliffs of Ramsey teem with thousands of breeding seabirds, such as guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes. Ramsey is also home to rare species such as the peregrine falcon and the chough.
The star of the show year round seems to be the Atlantic Grey seal, for which Ramsey is one of the largest breeding colonies in the UK. We regularly encounter a pod of Harbour porpoise as they feed in the tidal waters of the Sound.

What should I wear? +
Please ensure that you wear suitable clothing. Take warm clothing at any time of year, as it is always cooler at sea. A waterproof jacket is essential. In all conditions we advise warm windproof clothing and in windy/wet conditions a waterproof jacket and trousers. The skipper may refuse boarding if you are not suitably dressed.
What is your refund policy? +
Full refunds are offered provided you contact us 24hrs before departure. We will also refund a voyage, if it is cancelled by us. Our boats sail if the skipper considers it safe to do so. It is their decision as they are responsible for your safety at sea. Wind and swell is the main reason we will cancel a tour, we do not cancel for rain.
Can I bring my dog? +
Absolutely, well-behaved dogs are welcome on all of our shorter trips but the longer offshore trips are a bit too long for canine companions.
What will we see? +
We do our utmost to show you as much wildlife as possible but can’t always guarantee wildlife sightings. No two trips are the same and sightings may depend on the time of season, the weather, the tides and what trip you choose to join. We always try to be realistic about what we think you are going to see at any given time.
Do you drive the boats very fast? +
The vessels we use, RIBs, are those used by the Rescue Services and are extremely seaworthy. We have the capability to transport you swiftly and safely to the next stop on your tour with minimum travel time. We are wildlife tour operators, and respect the environment in which we work. Our trips are not operated as thrill rides, we aim to make your trip out with us as comfortable as possible.
Our highly experienced Skippers, drive our vessels at speeds, which are considerably less than its maximum speed.
