Overview

The Isle of Man is a UNESCO Biosphere reserve and is the perfect location for a wildlife & scenic adventure. Venturing into the wilderness, you may be the only people for miles around. The Island hosts a healthy population of Hen Harriers, Choughs and Peregrine Falcons found in both cliff habitats and urban areas. Depending on the season various bird species can be seen including Gannets, Curlew, Skylark, and Tern colonies, along with marine wildlife like Atlantic Seals.. We will explore some of our protected and rare habitats such as the Ayres National Nature Reserve with its distinctive landscape of shingle, sand dunes and beautiful lichen heath where a number of Orchids grow. Every tour can be tailored to suit your pace, preferences, and individual needs including visiting places that are wheelchair accessible if required, so don’t hesitate to get in touch and discuss your specific needs with us. The tour timings allow for travel between points of interest and refreshments stops.

Activity itinerary

Douglas Head

  • 30m
Stopping first along Marine Drive at Douglas Head, we get a beautiful panorama view of Douglas and beyond. Then we have an opportunity to watch sea birds soaring along the cliffs or on the water. This area is also a hunting ground for Peregrine and Raven's may be seen in the skies as well as Chough. Scanning the Irish sea below us we can look for any passing marine life.

Snaefell

  • 45m
We will visit this remote uplands area with it's stunning beauty and opportunity to see a number of bird of prey species including the elusive Hen Harrier. The tour timings allow for travel between points of interest and a refreshment stop.

Ayres National Nature Reserve

  • 1h
We will explore some of our protected and rare habitats such as the Ayres National Nature Reserve with its distinctive landscape of shingle, sand dunes and beautiful lichen heath where a number of Orchids can be seen; many of the hedgerows are left with minimal management and so are brimming with exquisite flora and fauna.

Point of Ayre Lighthouse

  • 45m
As we visit the most northerly point on the Island we are now closer to Scotland at just 14 miles away than we are from the Capital Douglas. This area is known as the Northern plain and is mad up from sand and gravel that were deposited during and after the last Ice Age. The low lying lichen heath and shingle beaches provide a haven for a variety of wildlife. Depending on the season there will be opportunity to look for Choughs, Nesting Terns and various Waders and Sea birds. Atlantic Grey Seals are often seen bobbing around in the water or hauled up on the shore resting.
