The Visitor Centre and Cafe is now open 7 days a week, 10am - 4pm. We are delighted to be working in partnership with Karrie's Coffee Co who are serving delicious coffee, hot and cold food, and mouth-watering cakes!

Skomer is an amazing island - but it couldn't run without our volunteers! We have short-term and long-term opportunities available, please see below for details.

With nearly 350,000 breeding pairs of Manx Shearwaters, over 40,000 Puffins, thousands of Guillemots, Razorbills and Kittiwakes and hundreds of Fulmars, Skomer is an internationally important seabird island.

It is located less than a mile off the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast making it a great place to visit for the day or stay overnight.

Please note, Puffins start arriving in mid-April. They are present from May-July. The first ones start leaving in mid-July and all Puffins are gone by the end of July. Please see our seasonal timeline below for what to see each month.

The 300 acre Parc Slip Nature Reserve has something for everyone!
