Our tours are designed
to be relaxed, friendly and fun, and because we only take small groups
of people you will receive an individual service.
Here’s what you might see;
 |
The Ayres
During summer Common Lizards sunbathe at specific locations. On the
beach there are migratory birds such as Sandwich Terns and Arctic
Skuas. Out to sea there are plunge diving Gannets and swimming Harbour
Porpoise.

|
Ballaugh Curraghs
This wetland has a large winter roost of Hen Harriers and we can watch
the harriers as they return after a day’s hunting. Thousands of
orchids carpet the meadows in the early summer.

Peel
The harbour is one of the best places for getting close to Grey Seals.
Peel Bay is also excellent for Basking Sharks, you may even be lucky
and see them in courtship behaviour.

Niarbyl & Glen Maye
Niarbyl has a fantastic coastal landscape with stunning sea views. At
Glen Maye you can listen to warblers or stand beside a magnificent
waterfall. A short walk to the coastal headland may provide dolphin and
whale sightings.
