At one with dolphins and seals

Published on Feb, 2025

We had an excellent experience with a knowledgeable team who guided us and took great care of us especially when I had a bout of anxiety. Isabelle was great and helped me through my anxiety. We got to swim with Dolphins and Seals and we learnt about the local area. We had a great trip and highly recommend this experience.

Beautiful experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Beautiful trip with awesome staff and very well equipped. Unfortunately, we could not swim with the dolphins or the seals. The dolphins swam to the deep open sea and where the seals were, there were strong currents. These decisions were taken for our safety so we truly appreciated this. Then, we were taken to another cove where we had time to snorkel. It was a very lovely and exciting trip. When we were told that they would refund part of the fee paid due to not swimming with the sea creatures we were quite surprised but delighted. THANK YOU.

Fun snorkel with seals

Published on Feb, 2025

A really great trip with helpful and knowledgeable staff. Good kit provided. We had a great snorkel with seals. We couldn't go in with the dolphins as the pod had calves but we were able to see them on a boat. Thanks for a wonderful experience :)

Best day ever!!!

Our family had a wonderful time. The seals were super playful. Seen pods of dolphins. An unforgettable experience. Hope to come back one day and do it again.

Excellent adventure

Excellent tour, well organised and really great team. The team were really passionate about marine life and the coast and shared knowledge with us. We were able to swim with seals, explore coastline snorkeling and observe dolphins in their natural habitat. We did not get to swim with dolphins because there was a 1 week old calf…we were ok with that. It was an amazing experience to observe the dolphins (particularly the baby - so cute) learn about them and how they live. The team catered to all people on tour wherever they were confident snorkelling or not.
