We did a guided tour on Ramsey Island which we booked in advance at Thousand Island Expeditions. Besides a little rain in the morning we had a beautiful day. Our RSPB guide, Nia, a young girl who lives on the island on her own was brilliant and funny and showed us everything. Seals in spring (!), Guillimots, Razorbills en deers.... More

Really exciting and informative. Lots of seals on the rocks and beaches. April bit too early for the nesting seabirds though. Make sure you're warmly dressed. More

Unlike some experiences on small islands, on Ramsey you can wander around on your own. Sea birds. Peace and quiet. But take a packed lunch with you if you are intending to stay there for some time, and you will need binoculars. We saw choughs - always amazing! - and a peregrine falcon. Just pick your day after you have... More

This is a wonderful island to visit and it is just off the St Davids coast. You catch a boat at the lifeboat station and its just a short trip to this RSPB maintained island. You get a short briefing on the birdlife when you arrive and then you have time to explore the island - either half a day... More

We booked a 1hr boat trip around Ramsey Island for £45 (2 adults). The sea was a bit choppy but the company provided us with waterproof gear. The boat paused at various points around the island and we had ample time to take photos, take in the beautiful scenery and basque in the knowledge of our friendly guide. We would... More

I took my wife and young daughter on this boat trip around Ramsey Island, near St David's. I thought with the boat being a RIB that is was going to be scary for my 5 year old. This turned out to be the best thing we did while we were on holiday, the boat crew were friendly and gave really... More

We drove a lonng way to St Davids purely for this boat trip and so we risked disapointment, but that certainly was not the case. The trip round the island was incredible, so very beautiful and comfortable if a tad cold :) Highly recommend the boat trip round Ramsey More
