Our standard trips include harbour discovery tours, seal safaris and nature and birdwatching trips.

An important wildlife site, the harbour is enjoyed by water-users, walkers and cyclists. As a stunning natural environment it offers breath-taking landscapes, beautiful harbour villages and a number of unique and internationally-significant habitats for birds, seals and other wildlife.
