Descripción

You can cruise around Puffin Island by joining a boat cruise from Beaumaris. See the website below and follow the link. Landing is not allowed due to danger of rat stowaways coming ashore, these once wiped out the Frailecillo Atlántico which are now returning. The only breeding Éider común in Wales. Also Gaviota Tridáctila, Fulmar Boreal, shearwaters, skuas, sea ducks and auks may be seen offshore. Mammals: grey seals, dolphins and porpoises.

Accesso

By boat from the village of Beaumaris. Price 80-minute Puffin Island Cruise: £ 18 (2022). The main season is the breeding season between April and July. Cruises run daily between April and October. Note: As with all seabirds outside of the breeding season they are only found out at sea, so you will not see Frailecillo Atlántico on these cruises outside of the breeding season. See the links below for more info.
