Brilliant two hour sea safari today, the wonderful weather and calm seas helped, but also felt totally relaxed as the rib raced across the water. Our guide clearly knew the local area and coastline, full of interesting information, and we did indeed see puffins, Dolphins, a seal, and even a bizarre sun fish! Highly recommended.

Outstanding. So kind to my three year old who didn’t want to get on. Saw seals dolphins and puffins. Flexible to do one-hour trips when most only do two hours. Will be back.

Just a fantastic ride. Met by skipper Dave, quickly renamed captain Dave by our two girls. We all loved the speed, bumps, and waves, the dolphins (albeit very briefly) the seals and bird life. The trips into the coves and information and stories about the surrounding coastline were great. Just a fantastic way to see such a beautiful part of the world from a completely different vantage point. The whole trip was worth every single penny. Thankyou.

Absolutely amazing!! Andy was so informative and really made the experience! We didn’t expect to see too much as it’s all down to luck so having dolphins come right up to the boat was breath-taking! Would highly recommend.

Great trip! Felt very lucky to see both dolphins and puffins. Friendly, knowledgeable skipper.

We went out on a 2hr boat ride, which was an incredible experience that we would recommend for everyone. Beautiful, dramatic coastline and lots of interesting snippets of local history as we pulled up into stunning little coves and old ports on the way. We were lucky enough to see 3 seals sunbathing on rocks and bobbing in the sea, which was lovely. Also the ladies that were organising the tours, could not have been nicer and went above and beyond to ensure we all got to go out together. Highly recommend that you don't miss out on this incredible experience. 10 out of 10!

Great trip, and value for money. Saw puffins and dolphins that played alongside the boat. Jake had a lot of knowledge about the area which all added to the experience. Would thoroughly recommend this adventure.
