4.5/5

Expensive ferry, but it is the only one.
Bumpy ride, be aware of the sea sickness. Very nice employees though, helped us and they were very good with our daughter who became seasick.

Everything perfect but hard to survive the trip - stomach problems and felt very bad.

Sadly very expensive.
Recommended for a longer stay on the island. For just one night to look for Kiwi's then it is not worth it.

A very informative trip which I probably would have missed if I had known there were only 27km of road.
Also Ulva Island trip very good.

Company and people very good but may have over sold the experience.
Brochure implied that we would see far more birds on Ulva Island than we did.

Very interesting commentary along the coastline gives a real insight into the varied and busy history and present day acitivites of the Island.
The walk on Ulva was interesting and the guides were well informed but the chance of seeing birds are severly hindered by the chatter of the group along the way. But well worth doing the tour.
