Trips are subject to cancellation, if the trip to the island is going to be to rough, or it is thought by the skipper that boat will not be able to enter Kirkhaven safely. Every effort is made to ascertain whither the boat will be able to berth at kirkhaven before sailing, changes in sea condition can occur, become apparent after sailing, and therefore landings are not guaranteed as safety comes first.

Although the Isle of May has one of the driest climates in Scotland we advise visitors to come dress for outdoors, warm rainproof clothes and good griping footwear. Sea breezes can be very cooling and there is not much shelter on the island should a rain shower occur. A hat is also good idea as protection from the sun and from the occasional swooping bird.

Visitors are allowed 2 to 3 hours on the island, the exact time is determined by the tide & weather.
