Land On Skomer
A 15 minute boat ride takes you to enjoy one of the most incredible wildlife experiences in Britain.
The 5 hour Skomer Island day trip is a great way to explore an unspoilt and stunning island at your own pace. The trip includes all travel there and back on a short boat ride of 15 minutes each way, plus 4.5 hours on the island itself to take in the views.
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.
Wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, walkers, families and visitors who are looking to find a sense of solitude will instantly fall in love with Skomer!
Skomer Island has something to offer everyone – full of mystery, discovery, wildlife and adventure…it’s a unique island just waiting to be explored!

Access to the Island
Skomer is a wild island with no cafe facilities at present; however water can be bought on the island.
We advise all visitors to wear suitable clothing and footwear and to come prepared for unpredictable weather conditions. The island is very exposed and there is very little shelter or shade.
As there are limited facilities on the island you will need to bring your own picnic and drink, there are facilities available in the village of Marloes, and snacks can be purchased at Lockley Lodge Visitor Centre.
Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed on the island due to the vulnerable nature of this precious sea bird colony (but they are allowed on our island cruises).
The island has 87 steep steps to climb from where the boat lands, and access to the jetty at Martin’s Haven is over a fairly steep set of steps & uneven footpath. Therefore we recommend a certain level of fitness is required to access the island. Please see
If you would like more information on the accessibility of the island, take a look at our FAQs page or give us a call.
