Scillonian III Day Return Cruises, Fridays

Each Friday, Volunteer Wildlife Guides are on board  the scheduled outward and return crossings on the MV Scillonian III between Penzance and St Mary's.

These day return cruises to the Isles of Scilly provide a memorable wildlife spotting opportunity en route to St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. Our friendly and knowledgeable RSPB guides will point out various seabirds from gannets and guillemots to Manx shearwaters and razorbills. Basking sharks and dolphins are among other marine wildlife it is possible to see.
