52 – 56 KM
Grade C
This is a journey of quite magical qualities, and for those that paddle it will want to stay for as long as possible. The Treshnish Isles are without doubt a green oasis in a turquoise sea that is ruled by the wildlife, the king of which is the puffin. Across that turquoise sea is Staffa with its unique and spectacular cliffs guarding the cave of all caves, Fingal’s.
