Treshnish Isles and Staffa

This boat trip leaves from Ulva Ferry at 11:40 and lands you at Staffa to explore Fingal's cave. Then on to Lunga to relax with the puffins, returning to Mull for 18:00. Shorter trips continue after the first week in August.

Land on the world renowned Island of  Staffa  to experience the unique and awesome wonder of Fingal’s Cave. It takes little imagination to hear Mendelssohn’s music amongst the massive basaltic columns which create this natural cathedral.

Lunga, largest of the  Treshnish Isles , has one of the most varied and accessible seabird colonies on the Western Seaboard. Dun Cruit (the Harp Rock stack), is home to more than 6,000 guillemot, razorbill, puffin, kittiwake,fulmar, shag, skua and many more. We provide a unique therapy in puffin watching at close quarters. This is much cheaper than a shrink!
