About Handa Island Wildlife Reserve

Handa Island is a rugged nature reserve, set one mile off the North West coast of Scotland, famous for its stunning scenery, wildlife, sea cliffs and lovely beaches.

Handa combines all of this with over 100,000 seabirds on 150 metre high cliffs looking out to sea.

The footpath around Handa is circular and if done in its entirety about 4 miles or 6 km, which, with children, usually takes around 3 hours to complete, though many families arrive on the first boat and leave on the last if the weather is good!
