We were lucky to have experienced the very best of weather Scotland has to offer when we visited Staffa and Lunga (24th May '12). There was an abundance of Puffins and various other sea birds and the odd seal. The scenery was fantastic - Fingals Cave, a must see, and the Turus Mara crew could not have been friendlier. Well...

My wife and I have always wanted to see Fingal's Cave and we decided to book a trip with Turus Mara. Although we really wanted to see Staffa we decided to book a trip which included visit to the island of Lunga, part of the Trishnish Isles to see Puffins so we thought oh well worth a wee look. and...

We had a fantastic trip to the Treshnish Isles and Staffa in April. The sun shone all day (thanks Turus Mara for arranging this) although there was too much swell to land on Staffa. We arrived right in the middle of puffin season and it was great to have time on Lunga to watch the birds. This trip gives just... More

They call this trip "Puffin Therapy" and that's not a bad title! It consists of about half an hour on Staffa and then about 3 hours on Lunga with about an hour's sea journey each way, so it's quite a long trip. It was a dull day and while we were waiting for the boat it began to rain, so... More

8 of us took the trip to Staffa on 24th September. The boat arrived on time and loaded up with about 30 - 40 people. There was not loads of space but enough to get a seat and if you were not so lucky with the weather (we had perfect weather) there is a large cabin area where you can... More

A family of 5, with 2 children we all had different expectations of this trip and each one was exceeded. We were lucky enough to meet a pod of dolphins on the way to Staffa and the boat circled so we could all experience the sight of them playing and leaping out of the water. The cave at Staffa was...

Went on a Turus Mara trip in the last weekend in July and I must say it was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Staffa had always been something I had been meaning to 'do', on countless trips to the area, but eventually after many years we took the plunge and as usual with these types of thing, I... More
