A Day on the bay
It was a day My partner and I won’t soon forget. The team was knowledgeable, experienced and above all caring! They were all accommodating and patient from the beginning as everyone navigated their wet suits, right to the end everyone struggled out of them. We were lucky to see so many seals and dolphins, and even had we not been so lucky it still would have been an amazing day. Monique, Che and Sinead were enthusiastic, happy and highly skilled and made sure we all had a great day to remember. The high tea out to sea was lovely complete with hot choccie and buscuits too. Thank you all so much!

Amazing experience you must do
I have booked the trip even though the weather conditions should be not ideal. We started with the sun behind us, conditions were superb :-) We have seen dolphins - both above and under the water. We could swim with the seals and it was just great. The whole crew was very friendly, experienced and customer oriented - they served drinks and snacks as well :-). All in all I can only recommend this unforgettable amazing event - thank you for that memorable day!

Highlight of our trip so far
The staff gave 100%, swimming with the seals was an incredible experience and after a good search we found dolphins. We couldn't swim with them as they had a baby with them but they were exciting to watch anyway. We sat on the net at the side of the boat. Snorkel led. Loved every minute.

Third time experience and amazing as always
This is my third experience with them and it is awesome. We spotted a lot of dolphins and they are very close to us. The team is also very nice and informative and ensured us to spot the dolphins.

Great snorkel trip
Wonderful snorkel trip! The crew were great- friendly and super helpful providing lots of hot water bottles and hot chocolate to my daughters to help them stay warm. The seals, rays and popes eye were all amazing. There were no dolphins seen on our trip so I can’t say 5 stars but we all had fun playing on the nets and ropes as we searched the bay looking for the dolphins.
