Puffins Galore! - We did the Herm & Jethou Island cruise today, also known as the Puffin Explorer.
The weather was perfect, warm & sunny and the sea was kind to us. We were looked after by Les & Dale on the beautiful wooden boat “Glad Tidings”.
As we sailed around the back of Herm we were treated with seeing a large number of Puffins in the water and the boat managed to get quite close on a number of occasions. No dolphins or seals today, but it was a fantastic trip and highly recommended.

Makes a good evening out on the sea - Smooth Sea , Gently wind on the evening we went . The boat made it's way through exiting narrow gaps to the South East of Herm and round to Puffin Bay , in and out the rocks and found puffins .Those on the water easy enough to spot but with the sun in your eyes not so easy to see those on land . Then to the north and a long sandy beach every bit as good as the Scilly Isles . Disappointingly instead of continuing our circumnavigation we turned around and came back via the south of Jethou . Would have liked to go right round and look into the harbour and anchorage on the west of the island and hear some more about the island . These days a large daylight viewable TV towards the bows showing the chart plotter output is not that expensive and would have added to our understanding of the skippers experience in and out of the reefs :-) :-)

Plenty of puffins and loads of cormorants too. - Ona sunny May evening we headed out to see the puffins on this tour of Herm and Jethou.
The crew were really helpful and patient as we boarded and gave a great commentary of the area as we headed out of St Peter Port.
They were also really helpful at pointing out the puffins and cormorants that were enjoying the evening sun and calm waters. We were able to stop so we could get some good photos and enjoy watching them.
The boat was ideal, low enough in the water but also bet east to move about to get the best view.
Thank you for a great evening

Three Puffins on the sea. - The weather was good, and we had a lovely trip. I had not been on before. Although I have been on a Coastal Cruises tour to the North of Guernsey. This time, we were taken near Jethou, and I was interested in seeing the island close up. We continued to the south coast of Herm, which is the cliff part of the Island, it is an ideal site for Puffins to come between April and July. The captain gave good commentary, and the assistant helped the passengers on and off the boat. He also called to the passengers when the puffins were close to the boat. Giving us a good view of the birds. We were taken around the North of the Island, where no people go when on land, as it is a nature reserve. I highly recommend the trip for anyone who loves the sea and the Puffins.

Puffin Patrol - Enjoyed the boat trip seeing the different Islands close up and we saw quite a few puffins at the back of Herm. Staff were helpful and plenty of room to move around on the boat to get the best views. Only downside just thought it was a tad expensive for what it was but apart from that it was a good boat trip.

Puffin trip - Pleasant boat trip. Boat had 40 persons on board so busy. We saw four puffins swimming nearby in the sea but none nesting on land
