The 'Pelagic Trip' visits an area West South West of the Isles of Scilly known as the 'Wilsons Triangle'.
After leaving Penzance the Scillonian III follows the coast towards Land's End before heading out towards the Wolf Rock Lighthouse.

Fulmars, Kittiwakes, Herring and Lesser Blackbacked Gulls follow the ship at the beginning of the voyage but as you venture into deeper waters they begin to fall back and less familiar species start to appear.
As you approach the Wolf Rock Lighthouse it is possible to spy Manx, Mediterranean and Sooty Shearwaters, Storm Petrels, Arctic and Great Skuas plus several varieties of Terns and Auks. Long-tailed Skuas, Sabine's Gulls, Cory's Shearwaters and Great Shearwaters have also been seen in abundance on previous trips, and always keep an eye out for extreme rarities such as the Little Shearwater and South Polar Skua.
Wilson's Petrels can usually be spotted amongst the large numbers of Storm Petrels feeding on the offal at the stern of trawlers.

In addition to many varieties of birds, we hope that your trip is made special by the apperance of Common, Whiteside or Bottlenosed Dolphins.
