Our Clients say the nicest things

Have a look at what some of our customers have had to say.

“Visited this little gem during a 3 day break with pals. The boat trip across takes about 15 mins and the boat operators make sure to let everyone on board get a view of the seals that we passed on the way out. The island itself is just wonderful and visitors are free to roam (within COVID-19 guidance). We spent a lovely hour walking around and enjoyed a coffee and muffin afterwards while waiting on our return ferry. This is a must if you are in the area.”

“This is a fabulous place to visit, you could spend the whole day here. The ferry trip out also goes by seal island. I would definately go back.”

MichelleTripadvisor

“Going to Garnish Island is a must. It is stunning. The ferry over was equally as good we got the Harbour Queen ferry company, lovely people gave great information, we got to see dolphins and seals up close, which my daughter loved. Walking around garnish Island was so nice and relaxing, and stunning to see.”
