   5⭐️ ​The trip was exhilarating as we sped out to sea! On our 2-hour trip, we saw a couple of seals basking on 'The Mouls', and then about four miles off the coast, north of Port Isaac, we were thrilled to spot a small pod of dolphins, including one with its young calf. If you've ever looked at one of these holiday experiences and thought it might not be worth the cost, I urge you to reconsider. This was an absolutely excellent trip, even in September!

   Loved the experience, though we didn’t get to see any Sealife it was still enjoyable especially if your someone who enjoys the water and the wind in your face. The guide gave us in depth knowledge of seals and history of the areas we stopped at.

   Would definitely recommend the 2 hour wildlife tour. They provide all the kit, including waterproofs and the team were so knowledgeable and great at finding and pointing out all the wildlife. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, jellyfish, seals and puffins. Amazing value for money!

   If you are looking for an adventure this is the place! Look no further! Read below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Today was raining, cold and windy! But we still pushed though to this amazing journey. We met at 9 and got ready and walked to the harbour waited till 9.30 to board the boat. If you forget to pack a rain coat or waterproof pants they got you covered! We first set off to visit a small island outside which looked like a shape of a lizard back and we went on a hunt to spot some seals! We didn’t get to see much at the first sighting but on the second one we managed to see other wild life birds that was on another island that is protected by the reserve and we went on a speedy boat ride it was so much fun! We went 10 mins out into the sea to find some dolphins and it was beautiful they came out to play for a short while before I started feeling sea sick with the waves hitting the boat. We then headed back to another island where the other seals would stay and shortly after headed back to shore. Lovely time and amazing guides! Would recommend!

   Went on a 2 hour dolphin tour and what a fantastic experience. The ribbed boat was stable despite traveling at speed. The seats were comfortable and soaked up much of the impacts. We saw only 1 seal and were prepared to be disappointed however within 15 minutes was in the middle of a feeding frenzy as dolphins and garnets feasted on mackerel. Topping all this, a Minke whale joined in! It really felt like Blue Planet! The 2 hours flew by. Plenty of great information from the guide and captain. They were genuinely as excited as we were. Definitely worth going although there is no guarantee as nature is unpredictable.

   Went on the 1 hour Seal trip. Saw some lovely coastline of Cornwall, saw a couple of Seals too. Felt very safe with lifejackets provided and staff were great. We were super lucky with a very calm sea. Great fun, would highly recommend.

   Brilliant. So glad we picked Padstow Sealife Safaris. We booked this as a present for our Son's 10th Birthday. From the initial booking in, equipment, safety talks and trip, everything was fantastic. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. The boat is awesome. We were lucky and saw seals, sea birds including gulls and shags and the best part was getting to see dolphins feeding and playing. This trip really made our Son's birthday brilliant for him. He even said that the boat ride was worth it all by itself (it was very fast). We went a good distance off shore, over 4 miles I think. I would highly recommend this company, very much good value for money and worth it! Thanks

   Best sea adventure around! I feel so safe in these boats. That's the first priority. Second, the guide really knew her stuff and told us all about the wonderful animals we were seeing. We saw seals, dolphins, gannets, shags and jellyfish. The gannets diving were an impressive sight to see, and ghe dolphins, as usual, were stunning. I highly recommend this sea safari to all.
