Booked as a birthday treat for my girlfriend who loves animals. There is something for everyone she loved the sea lions and I loved being whizzed around on a speed boat! Very knowledgeable guide and friendly captain - quality water proof overalls are provided and simple buoyancy aid demonstrated provided prior to activity. On the water for an hour and saw plenty of seals 🦭. Excellent value for money will definitely be doing it again!

Just brilliant! Ok…we didn’t see the Seals but we diverted to see a beautiful pod of dolphins out of the bay. It was something I have always dreamt of seeing so this trip made my dreams come true. End to end it was brilliant I didn’t want it to end!!

Full description

Experience unforgettable wildlife off the coast of Cornwall on this guided trip by boat. Learn about Cornish history and nature as you sail up its breathtaking rugged coastline.

Meet your guide and climb onboard your Rigid Inflatable Boat for a trip to remember. Follow along the coast at speed, and slow on approach to areas of the coastline where grey seals regularly visit.

If the conditions are right, head out to one of the nearby offshore islands where seals often haul out on the rocks to sunbathe. Marvel at seals bobbing around in the water, popping up to say hello, or basking on the rocks of offshore islands.

Look out for an array of birds that can also be seen on the trip, especially during nesting season for the puffins, guillemots and razorbills (mid April-mid July). Keep an eye out for dolphins which have also sometimes been spotted in the area.
