An action packed day out when looking for things to do in 
Fife…
Are you planning your holidays in Fife? Are you looking for things to do in Fife while you are here? If so then read on to hear our account of an action-packed trip to the May Island, situated in the Firth of Forth just off the Fife Coast.
The Osprey rib (Rigid Hulled Inflatables or RHIBs) are extremely safe, very stable and ideal for the 20-25 minute trip to the island. The ticket office can be found at the Middle Pier in Anstruther opposite the Anstruther Lifeboat station. (Post code for directions is KY10 3AB).
Be sure to check out their daily timetable so you can plan and prepare for a wonderful day out.
What to expect on this exhilarating trip…
Roy the skipper of the Rib was a mine of information about the history of the May Isle and the wildlife it is famous for. The trip was an exhilarating way to see around the whole island and the 2.5 hours on the island was filled with much to see. The highlights included:
- seeing the puffins flying overhead with fish to feed their young,
- enjoying the views while eating a lovely picnic
- exploring the island and its heritage
- the seals popping their heads above the water to shyly watch us creep by,
- 3 porpoises gracefully leaping above the waves beside the boat
- Releasing a puffling into the water on the way home. Pufflings( young Puffins) at this time of year leave their burrows in the dead of night to avoid the marauding gulls and leap of the cliffs to the sea below. They then stay on the sea for 3 years when they then come back and rear some young. What a treat that was!
