Puffin Adventure

Departing from St George’s Pier in Menai Bridge, your skipper will take you on a fascinating RIB trip along the Anglesey coastline and seawards to Ynys Seiriol, located off Penmon Point at the south-eastern entrance to the Menai Strait.

Thanks to many years of conservation work by the RSPB and a variety of local groups, Ynys Seiriol is once again home to a colony of Atlantic Puffins, who visit the island each year between April and August to breed, before heading back out to sea where they spend the entire winter.

As well as the seasonal puffin visitors. the island is home to the largest nesting cormorant population in the UK, with guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes also frequent visitors. Alongside the seabirds, a large colony of seals can often be found basking on the beach or bobbing around in the sea. And if you are very lucky you may even see porpoise or dolphin, although these are a much rarer sight.

All our skippers are well trained and practiced in manoeuvring our RIBs to ensure they maintain a respectful distance so as not to disturb the seabirds and wildlife, whilst maximizing your viewing potential. If you would like to bring a pair of binoculars with you, please make sure they can be safely secured whilst the RIB is moving.

During this tour you will also see the impressive houses on Millionaire’s Row and Garth Pier. You will discover the gruesome history of Gallows Point and be greeted by the colourful houses of Beaumaris. Like our other tours, your Skipper will finish the trip with some exhilarating twists and turns.

All in all, the perfect trip!

Our RIBs are open to the elements and we go out in most weathers including the rain, so please dress appropriately for the weather and season. It is always cooler on the water.

The aim is not to get you wet, however we cannot guarantee this, so please make sure you have a waterproof layer, as it can get a bit splashy in certain conditions. Sensible shoes, no heels! In the colder months, hats and gloves are essential. Sunglasses are also a good idea.

Life jackets are mandatory and are provided by RibRide.

If you are pregnant we generally advise against participating, as tours can be a bit bumpy in certain conditions.
