They run a range of trips to Ramsey and Grassholm islands, but for those wishing to see the huge colony of breeding Fou de Bassan on Grassholm it is best to take one of the trips that is accompanied by an RSPB Guide. Bookings for these trips (only nine are run most years) must be made in advance.

Should you fail to get a place on one of these guided trips, Thousand Islands also run a range of other fascinating wildlife trips around the islands of Ramsey and Grassholm with opportunities to enjoy not only birds but also Atlantic Grey Seals, Whales and Dolphins.
