Boat Trips to Ramsay Island, Grassholm Island and Skomer Island are a must, when visiting this beautiful city. Boat trips leave from the RNLI Lifeboat Station at St. Justinians, between April and October.
Ramsey Island comprises 640 acres and is currently owned and run by the RSPB as a bird reserve. The RSPB bought the island due to its importance as a breeding site for endangered species, such as the chough and peregrine. Ramsey Island is also home to one of the UK’s largest Atlantic Grey Seal colonies, with hundreds of seal pups born between August and October, each year. You can expect to see a range of wildlife, from Porpoise, birds and beautiful sea caves and rock gorges.
Grassholm Island is a small uninhabited island situated off the southwestern Pembrokeshire, lying west of Skomer. Home to 37,000 breeding Gannets, and if you are lucky enough, you may even catch a glimpse of Porpoises and Dolphins.
Skomer Island is the largest of the Pembrokeshire Islands, separated from the mainland by treacherous waters with hidden rocks, reefs and very strong tidal currents. Skomer Island is famed for its wildlife, so keep an eye out for puffins and razorbills. You will also spot grey seals amongst the waves and in the caves.
