Puffins Don't Get Closer Than This! A Remarkable Boat Trip to The Scottish Isles (Staffa and Lunga)

As a Glaswegian you forget how pretty and scenic our country is -she's a 10 absolute stunner!

[@heeeeeresrossy]

I'm from Oban & lived in Glasgow for 4 years in my mid to late 20's. While I loved my stint there, I eventually got home sick. I think that if you're born by the sea, you miss it. But Glasgow's superb because you don't have to travel for hours to be in the countryside.

[@G4RY1159]

@@furryrug5998 OH Agree, I read a few a review a few months back on someone saying how nice Pollockshaws West train station was, I'd happily meet that person so they can show me what I'm missing, same with many other train stations that are massively lacking in any investment, people just don't look properly or take much interest, all busy now glued to a phone screen.

[@heeeeeresrossy]

@@G4RY1159 well, If I'm totally being honest...not all of my time in Glasgow was happy. The city is handy & pretty central if you wanna get away to Oban for example. We're just 2 hours from Glasgow, which is what I meant to highlight. But yea, the city itself is sh*tty in areas. For example; I used to work for Barratt Homes. I worked in & eventually lived in Kingston Key opposite The House of Sher. Once Barratt were done selling all the flats, they simply left along with their concierge. The place soon filled up with drug dealers & prostitutes & became a real sh*thole. So I moved, but this time to a flat directly next to the Barrowlands. That was even worse! My car got broken into twice & their were even more prostitutes & dodgy buggers kicking about. Fair to say I didn't stay too long. Saying that, I then moved into a house in a decent area of Renfrew (Robertson Avenue) which was 100 times better. I spent most of the years there, so that's why it wasn't all bad.

[@wouterpaap9343]

Wow, what a trip! I ought to make a list of all those beauties in Scotland. Think I will. Lunga I fell in love with. Staffa is geologicaly interesting. The strange columns have a simple explanation. Found this on a website: "In liquid lava that cools, shrinkage cracks form from the outside to the inside. Usually they form in thick layers of lava and gradually the cracks form the columns. Broad columns are formed in slow solidification and narrow in rapidly cooling lava. What we see as the basalt columns is what is left after prolonged weathering and erosion."

[@ianhumphrey7218]

Stunning is an understatement, what amazing places.

Cheers Steve/Alicija for another fascinating half-hour - I loved it! I'm also told by a geologist that the basalt rocks in Staffa/Portrush (NI) were formed by a flow which started nearby Achnasheen in the Highlands - which seems inpressive at least to me! :)

[@carolmayhardie]

And the same flow may be responsible for the Giant's causeway in Ireland. There's not much distance between the two countries.

[@davidsmith7653]

Cracking scenery and wildlife Steve. Beautifully photographed too. I confess to a minor ungentlemanly moment at the beauty of the dolphins but I'm a saft auld bugger anyway. I also particularly noticed how you are unfailingly polite to the staff and crew at every entrance and exit. You thanked every one of them. It is said that the measure of a man is not in how he treats the rich and famous but how he treats animals and waiters / waitresses and other helpers.

OMG! I was looking this morning through the Daily Memories on my Amazon photos and this very trip came up on the very day of your video publication. I did it in 2014, from Oban as part of a coach trip package organised by Oban's West Coast Motors. I think it was only £25 with the ferry, coach across Mull to Fionnphort, boat to Staffa with landing, then a few hours on Iona. Such a bargain and the weather was brilliant too, and the puffins.

[@steve-marsh]

Oh would love to visit Iona one day, possibly combined with a wee wild camp at Calgary beach on Mull!

[@hughgardner2309]

Nowhere more beautiful then the British isles when the weather is good

[@jimgurley]

We did the similar trip via Fionnphort in June '22 and had the same weather and puffin experience. Enjoyed it enough to consider your version next year. Also had too many to count at Sumburgh Lighthouse. I think the Skellig Michael puffins might be very competitive for the best, though. Keep up the good work!

How amazing an invention is that floating pontoon? I live near some very special coastal areas here in Australia and this would be an excellent way to provide limited access without making a permanent impact. Clever stuff!

Aye that was very impressive! I had no idea how it was going to work, at first I thought we'd be getting a tender from the pontoon to shore!

[@ianscott3180]

I was on Lunga recently and we went ashore in a small dingy. We asked the people with the floating pontoon if we could drop a couple of people and were told no. The puffins were much more friendly.

[@TracyAnneSena]

You brought back such happy memories of my 2015 trip. We were able to get a small tour boat right out of Oban, though. Yes! The price is WORTH IT! Notes at the end of you video might also include bringing a wind proof or rain jacket, a substantial lunch and snacks, sunscreen, and a hat. There were lots of seasick, wet, sunburned folks on our return trip. FanTAStic adventure!

[@cbrettp]

@TracyAnneSena can you pass on the information about the smaller boat tour right out of Oban?

[@TracyAnneSena]

@@cbrettp Sadly, no. We saw an adversiment (signboard) near the dock that gave the info. It was somewhere on the way to the ferry building. It was about €120 - and worth every penny. (Also take walking sticks, if you have them. It helped navigate the rocky shore (tide was waaay out) and the hill up to the puffins.

Well, didn't you guys get a fancy boat to Staffa! We were put on the back of a fishing boat, in less than ideal conditions (all the seats inside were taken)😅 The skipper told us that it would be 'a wee bit splashy'.... we were totally drenched right down to our unmentionables...ha ha. One of the passengers was absolutely green, and a German guy dressed in a plastic rubbish bag started singing German sea shanties to cheer us all up. Everyone sang along even though we didn't know the words, it was hilarious. It had been raining on Staffa, so we were too scared to walk down to the cave on slippery rocks unfortunately. I did feel a bit better when I saw that fearless Aliceija was also a bit scared (and she's so brave). Thanks for filming the cave and showing us what we missed. We always go to Scotland too late to see the puffins, but one day we'll make it on time. We did Mull, Staffa and Iona on our day trip... it was a great day (apart from wearing the sea).

We just rocked up on the coast where my old man would take us to the pub. He’d get pissed, bundle us back on the boat and sing all the way back to Oban. Very little to no tourists back then, no police, nobody getting in your business. Good times, great memories.

[@guineaprog]

Absolutely loved this video! We went on a very similar trip in May from Oban to Mull, then on from Fionnphort to Lunga, past Staffa, then to Iona. Unfortunately, there was too much swell for us to be able to disembark on Staffa, so your video shows us exactly what we missed (never mind, a perfect excuse to go on the trip again). You were so lucky to have seen the dolphins! We saw a couple of Minke whales. The highlight was definitely the puffins. They are such endearing little birds and we were happy to hear from the tour guide (it was the same company, so I'm sure they told you the same) that the puffins actually don't mind the tourists, as we scare away their two main predators.

This brings back both good and bad memories. We had a week on Mull (in 2015) in a beautiful rented house just outside of Tobermory. We also did the same tour - The bad part was my visit to Staffa and climbing up the ladders to the top was the last trip I did before being diagnosed with Arthritis in my knees - now can barely walk, let alone go up ladders :( However, the rest of the memories are brilliant. If you ever go to Tobermory again - check out "Cafe Fish" - some of the best fish/seafood that I have had anywhere in the world ! It's tiny and you can only book for dinner - so if you ever wanted lunch, be there and queue before it opens !
