I worked on the Island as a volunteer last August, there were no puffins

Definitely no drones . See my review from July 30 .Last boat is 2 o’clock, first come first served. It is advised to allow3 hours to do a circuit of the island.Last boat back was 4.45. The frequency of boats depends on demand and weather.

Hi Emilia It depends on the child! It's approximately 6km and takes roughly 3 hours, although a shorter walk up to the Great Stack and back is less than 2 hours. It's a good path and well maintained boardwalk, with a gradual incline (with a couple of slightly steeper sections) up to just over 100m from sea level. Handa is a great place for children to visit, particularly when the seabirds are present during the months of May, June and July. It's worth noting that in August many of the seabirds will have left the colony for the season. There is, however, always the chance to see all sorts of other wildlife including marine mammals, otters, insects and song birds. It can be wild when the weather is poor, so it's wise to be prepared with waterproofs, sun lotion and midge repellent.

Hello, the last day of the season for 2018 is Saturday 8th September, so apologies the ferry won't be running after then. Kind regards, Handa Ranger

Hello, Thank you for your message. For passenger safety and comfort, dogs are not allowed on the ferry which is the only access to the island.
