    Must do experience!

    Anuj_D, Jan 2020
    The Gannet colony is in a privately owned property and it takes more than an hour to drive up to the colony. The drive is so beautiful with many picturesque landscapes. The Gannet colony was bigger than we expected and it was one of the best experiences for us to see the birds so close.

    Personal and up close

    Did not realize we would drive right up to the birds. The scenery going and coming was fantastically

    Response from Host, Jan 2020

    Thank you for your review. What a fantastic surprise getting up close and personal with these magnificent birds!

    Beautiful Gannets

    Joseph_L, Jan 2020
    To see these beautiful Gannets in person is a wonderful and unforgettable experience. However, if there was no confusing in the coordination of the ride ( there were a few people just walking in our fully occupied bus when we were in the rest area) I would have given them five stars.
