Puffins in May

How good are our chances of seeing puffins in early May with a 4 year old? We'll be visiting Galway/Aran Is. and Dingle. Not sure the best way to get to the cliffs of moher and if it's worth it. We considered the long ferry tour of the islands but I get seasick on playground swings.

We saw puffins from the Moher boat trip from Doolin. It's not an "up close" experience like Skellig Michael, and I'm not sure a 4 year old would pick them out from among the swarm of seabirds. We've never walked the cliff, so I don't know if they nest along the trail. Hopefully someone else can chirp in.
