Lovely island to explore, lots of birds, very peaceful to take a picnic and enjoy the surroundings, well worth a visit on a nice sunny day

There are daily boat trips to the island that are timed with the tides, so inquire early if you are planning to go. Another good reason to check and book ahead is that the trips are popular and can sell out, or be cancelled if the weather is bad. The boat journey takes about 40 minutes each way, with 2-3 hours on the island. There is tea, coffee and chocolate available for purchase on the boat. It's excellent: the guides are friendly and very helpful, and the wildlife varies depending when you visit (check their website for when to see puffins or seals). Bring binoculars and/or a big camera lens for the best experience.

Rather disappointing , we were not told before boarding the boat that the birds had migrated the previous week., between May and July is the best time of the year to see the many thousands of wonderful seabirds that breed there so we were told after we had got there. Quite a lot of History .The Beacon Scotlands oldest Lighthouse worked for 179years and was the scene pf a terrible tragedy. The engine room powerful engines that generated electricity and compressed the air for the foghorns. Low light cottage , Low light tower there is plenty to see for anyone not particularly interested in seeing only birds

Our first attempt to land the May Isle aboard the May Princess was unsuccessful. The sea had her way, and was unwilling to admit us to the tiny (and totally obscured) harbour entrance. I did feel disappointed, but the skipper was more so. It was the first day in 2 years that he had been unable to land! As I was aboard with my family, all 5 of us were sad not to make it to the island. But, all was not lost! The crew of the boat were very gracious, and offered a free trip the next day for anyone who wanted another go. The next day crossing was on the early tide, and when we woke up, the weather looked against us. I texted the office, and asked if was possible to postpone to the following day. An unusual request, and they had every right to refuse it...but they didn't! We did indeed set sail the next day, and it was well worth it. The island is lovely, but I really wanted to post this to thank the staff of the boat company for being so generous.

A beautiful day in September for our boat trip to the Isle of May. The island was peaceful after the departure of thousands of sea birds. We enjoyed the singing of the seals during our 2 and1/2 hours ashore. Staff on the island informative and extremely helpful. Staff on the boat likewise. Useful but unobtrusive commentary on journeys to and from the island harbour.

The crossing was a bit choppy (and too much for a couple of the guests) but the staff were great about it. The island is fantastic (we went with 5yo and 4yo) with lots to see. The time on shore went by really quickly. Probably more wildlife earlier (or later) in the year but still a joy to be there.

We were fortunate enough to head to the Isle by ferry on an exceptionally calm and sunny day, although anything other than torrential rain could not spoil a trip to this special place during the spring and early summer. Do take care to note that the seabirds begin to leave the island by the end of July or so--if its puffins you'd like to see, you will be disappointed later in the season, although the island itself is a place of great beauty replete with ruins and a lighthouse. Aside from the puffins that are the big tourist draw, during the height of the season you can't help but see razorbills, guillemots, kittiwakes, fulmars, terns (which will dive bomb you if you approach their nests) and with any luck bottlenose seals. The captain will make a point to seek out sea mammals on the return journey and to note other interesting sightings. While some may prefer the high speed boats, the ferry allows you to enjoy the sea life and scenery on a fine day.

My wife and I visited the island with our 3 & 5yr old kids during the summer holiday. We opted for the fast rib boat route rather than the ferry, it is a little bit more expensive yet only takes 20min rather than 1hr and the kids really enjoyed it and the skipper was excellent. The island itself was lovely and the kids enjoyed hunting for the landmarks from their kids treasure maps that we picked up at the visiter centre. In total it cost £80 for the four of us yet I felt it was well worth it, the rib boat only takes 12 people so be sure to pre book.
