On Handa Island you will have the possibility to easily see nurzyk, alka, fulmar, maskonur, wydrzyk wielki and the wydrzyk ostrosterny which nest on the island and many other birds! It is an island where no one lives and it is staying wild. There are pedestrian paths to follow and which allow you to take a nice tour. You have breathtaking views of a live seabird colonies. The best time is April to July for the reproduction of seabirds. Mid-May to July for maskonur. Watch out for the wydrzyk wielki attacks!
