UK's Best Wildlife - Wales | Dolphins, Puffins & Seals | Skomer Island UK Road Trip Travel Vlog 21

[@ZimbaZumba]

I went to Skomer in the 1970's and it was run by RSPB, birding, hippie snobs who were irritated by our presence. The boat over was not much bigger than a rowing boat and the embarking/landing was treacherous off the rocks. You had to book by phone a day ahead. no guard rails on the paths and were you escorted by a guide who wished you were not there. I am glad to see things have changed. Lovely video.

[@kaylibert4020]

I love watching the UK vlogs. In this one, Emma sees the owl in the distance her face full of joy and wonder. You'd think Alex's instinct would be to pan on what she's looking at, but he stays there focuses on her, soaking her in. You just know that his joy is in seeing her joy. That's what love looks like, guys.

[@TravelBeans]

Oh wow, what a lovely comment 😍 My heart if full

[@taffyducks544]

This gives me chills....Wales gets an unfair rap to be honest. Main reason is the majority of people only go as far as Cardiff and Wrexham. Wales is so Beautiful....especially Snowdon, West Wales, and North West Wales. Wales even has one of the bed beaches on the planet. Wales in just a mini version of New Zealand and the Mediterranean rolled into one. Cornwall is also stunning.

[@TravelBeans]

Agreed! Wales is an incredible country! One of my first trips there was to the Brecon Beacons and, although the weather was awful, I was completely blown away! But I had no idea until this trip that the beaches are so stunning too. Really want to visit Snowdon and North Wales. It's nice to have something to looks forward to for our next trip 😊 Plus I have a serious addiction to Welsh cakes! So we'll be back soon enough! 😂

[@ptjzmemory]

This has absolutely been my favorite UK vlog. Nature Beans are happy beans. I love puffins too. All the wildlife just makes me happy.

[@TravelBeans]

Aw thanks!! Yes, nature beans are definitely happy beans! 💛😁

[@mariondiemert430]

Your vlogs from the UK have been really great, but this one is amazing. What a fabulous place, so peaceful and beautiful! The wildlife just go about their merry day and to be able to see this, wow.

[@annaparry4045]

Went there 3-4 years ago but luckily had a bright, sunny day. It was a magical day, puffins literally wondering our feet. The steps up from the boat are a killer though, you need to be reasonably fit to do go there.

[@michelletoth5963]

Yay for wildlife in Wales. Love Wales, my grandfather came to Canada from Swansea. Hope to get back there one day and to Skomer Island. I'm dying to see dolphins in the wild, they keep alluding me. Thanks first this video!

[@colleenoliver2673]

When I travel I got to include nature walks, and try and have an wildlife experience, I get excited and emotional, crazy really, and these are always my strongest memories

[@glynisrogers3323]

I just discovered your vlog and while trying to find "the beginning" so I could binge watch in order, I saw this place in Wales that I have never heard of. Although I am an American (with a Welsh name and Welsh ancestry) I was raised hearing all about Wales, the music, the poetry, the culture.... but not a single person told me about this island!! I even lived a short time in Wales and never knew that place existed. Now I have yet another reason to visit!!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Wow you guys. What a place! I would never think this was in the UK - Trevor

[@TravelBeans]

Same! I can't believe how cool this place is!! Hope you guys are well!

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Glad you made it. I think it’s absolutely incredible that you immersed yourself into the wildlife. I think it’s important to showcase how important wildlife is to our ecosystem and how they are a huge part to this world 🌍 Just as important as humans.

[@TurnItUpWorld]

That island looks amazing. Even on a cloudy day .

[@hyweldickens1765]

There's a unique species/subspecies of vole on Skomer. It isn't quite the rabbit paradise you claim. Gulls can and do eat live rabbits.

[@paulinelee9694]

I really love your videos. I love your enthusiasm. Thankyou so much for sharing your happy times with us

[@tonyrigg9182]

You guys should be on TV with your own show, brilliant coverage Thumbs up from me :-) x

[@cecex4545]

My mum got us tickets for my 21st birthday and we're going tomorrow; I cried when I got them and just cried again watching this (and I'm not a happy crier! Puffins are just that great!!) Thank you for making me even more excited somehow, haha!

[@cecex4545]

Also making me feel very lucky as a Derbyshire girl living in West Wales that both here and Edale made your top 3 🥲

[@dawnallen123]

You captured it beautifully. I am in awe of the beauty there, thanks for sharing.

[@KGsPhotography]

Just found your channel and the enthusiasm of you guys is so infectious. Really want to get to Skomer after watching you video. Cheers Keith.

[@RoamaroundAndy]

That's awesome guys, you are correct I didn't know about this place and I'm from Manchester. I will definitely be paying a visit. I'm bang into your videos at the moments please keep it up. Andy

[@justbarkerthings]

Wow, such a beautiful island. Puffins are so cute!

[@allegra1236]

Absolutely exquisite photography!!! Watching you from Oklahoma USA The beauty of this island has overwhelmed us! Sooo glad you did the UK series. Please continue to make us giggle... And, continued safe travels! Ps. Come see us in Oklahoma-the buffalo are amazing!!!!

I think komodo island will be closed for one year starting jan 2020....take heed . You can partake of puffin flesh in Iceland...cute but tasty

[@TravelBeans]

I heard about that! Need to get there quick!! Haha it's funny you said that about the puffin meat because we watched Gordon Ramsay catching and eating puffins on KZbin the other day 😂 Alex said he would try it.. but me? No way! 😆

Love this video 👍💚

[@dionhughes8899]

You guys are so amazing! 😍, as your in wales why don’t you come down to Anglesey (My Home!) We have so much to offer visitors and we have so much costal paths, historic buildings and castles! plus so much more including South Stack lighthouse, and the amazing Puffin Island where a seal normally follows the boat and you can feed it yourself! Beaumaris Castle is one and the other is Caernarfon Castle thats not that far from Anglesey as its in Gwynedd (Caernarfon) home of the “covi’s” they do say Conts all the time but thats not them swearing by the way its how they speak! if you don’t believe me go and have a look for you selfs! :) if you do decide you come over, Have fun & Beans Out! :D

[@taffyducks544]

Wales....the only country that has a coastal path along its entire coast line. West and North West Wales is beautiful....its like a mini New Zealand and And a mini Mediterranean rolled into one.

[@TravelBeans]

Anglesey was on our list of places to visit during this trip, as was Snowdonia.. but unfortunately our plans didn't work out 😔 So gutted about it but it's also nice to leave some things to do next time we're back.. thank you for all the amazing info! 🙏 Excited for when we will get to visit in the future

[@TravelBeans]

I had no idea about the coastal path.. that's so interesting!!

[@dionhughes8899]

lovely to hear you official reply 😂🙈, aww what a shame, I’m sure sometime soon anglesey (Môn Mam Cymru) translation- “Mother of Wales” will welcome you with open arms!. I will admit I am a new viewer since your trip to Krakow but you will be pleased to know I’v nearly watched all your trips 🙈 My holiday from work is paying off 😂 keep up your great work and wonderful trips, ps I may of had a nonsense call as we say & did say beans out in the end 😂 its catching ok 🤫😁.

OMG...can’t believe that you were able to get so up close and personal with a Puffin. 🐧 One of the greatest picnic spots of all time. 🐬 It’s really great to see other travel vloggers doing what they love doing. Could you stop by and watch our latest video, as we’d love to hear your thoughts as well. 🐰🦉🐦

Hey guys! Can you put up a link to your hostel please? All the b&b's are crazy expensive but I'm desperate to visit before the puffins leave (thanks, your fault! Travel influencers!!!) Xx

Hey Helen. If you check out the video before this there should be a link. If not I will send later. I am on a boat with bad WiFi and can't load web pages. It was YHA broadhaven I think. Maybe 20 mins from puffins. Best thing I have ever done in the UK by far

At what time did you bought your ticket and when did the boat sail to Skomer? I really really really want to visit the island (in July) :)

[@TravelBeans]

We got there at 8.30am. It wasn't that busy luckily but I would guess July is going to be. The people in the YHA said to go at 7 to avoid disappointment but the ticket office doesn't open til 8.30 I believe. Good luck :D one of the best days of my life

[@poppy7933]

And to think people from the UK travel thousands of miles and spend hundreds of pounds to see these animals in other countries, when we literally have them on our door step!

[@FreedomStrider]

I wouldn't count those rabbits lucky, I'm sure they're a threat to the birds so the nature protectionists will be after them! Or you know..the puffins which chase them down

[@davidjones272]

They dig the burrows that the puffins use
