Three Sisters Saunter Eco Tour
It is a Guided Nature Ramble along the beach east
from the Riet River to the stunning Three Sisters
promontories where birds soar above sheer cliffs and
caves and strut amongst the tidal pools.
Photographers rave at the beauty of the wave-cut
platforms that are home to the local oystercatcher
families.
Standing on these promontories amongst wind
trimmed vegetation promises the possibility of
spotting dolphins or whales that approach the shore
here.
The tour includes stories of
•
the Riet River and estuary ecology with its diverse
plant and bird species
•
the many local shipwrecks
•
ancient cultures, customs and local history
•
marine and mammal interaction in the pools that
protect a myriad of tiny sea creatures.
This is a particularly popular choice with family
groups and overseas visitors. The tour is for a
minimum of 6 people and of course is at low tide!
It affords parents the opportunity of exposing their
children to the workings of beautifully varied coastal
eco-systems.
Built in Scotland the SS Kilbrennan steel screw
steamer of 2,331 tons struck a reef on the 28th March
1907 and sank in 18m of water close to Three Sisters.
She was on her way to Madagascar with coal from
Wales
Creatures you may find on the trail
Plough snails launch an attack on a stranded jellyfish
Oystercatchers frequently nest on the promontories
Between July and December every year Southern Right
and Humpback whales play in the sea off the Three
Sisters
…and forage nearby for their favourite food…mussels
