Best for families wanting a short, easy boat trip off Beaumaris, with seals and seabirds reliably in view and a crew who make the ride welcoming.
π Funzaroo Verdict
The draw is a short, relaxed boat trip where a friendly crew turns the ride into a genuine wildlife lesson, with seals basking on rocks and seabirds close by. The catch is the puffins, around only at certain times of year, so check the season first and treat any sighting as a bonus. Dogs coming along makes it easy for the whole family.

βWe had a wonderful boat trip to Puffin Island and would highly recommend it. Being able to take our dog on board was a huge bonus, and the whole experience was fantastic. We were lucky enough to see an incredible variety of wildlife, including puffins, seals, oystercatchers, cormorants, and plenty of other seabirds. We set off at 11am during low tide, which meant the seals were basking on the exposed rocks and the puffins were bobbing around close to the island, giving us some brilliant views. Definitely take a digital camera or DSLR with you, iPhones donβt quite capture as clear. I was very happy with my puffin shots! A really enjoyable trip with a friendly crew and amazing wildlife, definitely worth doing if you're in the area!β

βWe went on the Island Princess today and had a fantastic time! Communication was great beforehand and the staff were very friendly and provided great service and information. We also got incredibly lucky with sightings of the puffins and seals, with the skipper taking great effort to ensure everyone got a good view.β

βperfect little trip. The information during the boat ride was very informative, about the area and the wildlife. Although there were no Puffins there at this time of year (we knew about this before we booked) it was still well worth it. Don't hesitate, book it!β

Overview
A gentle sail out around Puffin Island, where the commentary turns passing rocks and water into a running wildlife lesson: seals hauled out basking, seabirds wheeling close overhead. It is short enough to suit restless little ones, and the fact that dogs are welcome aboard means nobody in the family gets left on the harbour wall.
