Puffin Island Cruises

Departing from Beaumaris heading towards the NE entrance of the Menai Straits we find Puffin Island, also known as Ynys Seiriol after the saint who founded a monastery on the island in the 6th century. Puffin Island is now a bird sanctuary and a nesting site for many species of breeding seabirds including guillemots, razorbill, puffins and kittiwakes from April to July. Other species such as cormorant and shags are on the island year round, Puffin Island also is also home to a colony of grey seals who normally have their pups in the autumn. You my even be lucky enough to encounter porpoise, on occasion dolphin can even be spotted.

We offer both standard and deluxe versions of these cruises! Check out the website for details.

Menai Straits Cruise

A popular choice for tourists and locals alike, many people travel over the bridges onto the island, but few can say they’ve travelled under them. This cruise will head in a South Westerly direction taking in the stunning scenery and awesome architecture. Heading towards the town of Menai Bridge, under the iconic bridges of Telford and Stephenson and through the 'Swillies' before turning around at Plas Newydd Stately Home. Look out for grey heron standing like statues along the banks while other wading birds such as oystercatchers and curlew explore the lower shores.

We offer both standard and deluxe versions of these cruises! Check out the website for details.
