Marine Wildlife Tours in
St Davids

  We have been on a number of trips to Ramsay Island and Skomer but this trip to Ramsay by Aquaphobia was by far the best. We were a party of... read more ages 3 to 62 and all were very excited following the trip. The kids talked about it endlessly. We entered caves seeing seals and bird life. The crew looked after us continuosly,
we felt well cared for. It wasn't cheap but we felt worth every penny. It was the highlight for our Pembrokeshire holiday.

  We've just taken the Ramsey Island boat tour with Aquaphobia first class tour lots too see and if you can ignore the tour guides terrible jokes you'll have a great... read more time highly recommended.

  Staying in Solva we came across a leaflet for this company. You can't book online but when you ring you will speak to Sue, who is extremely friendly, helpful and... read more honest. This is a small family business that has been running for over 30 years. We had an incredible boat ride to Skomer Island to see the Puffins. Mark is very knowledgeable and keen to make sure you enjoy the trip. We loved the boat, exciting going over the waves and still comfortable and totally safe. Mark also took us into the Caves at Ramsey Island which was an unexpected treat! We also saw seals and Shearwaters. Fantastic trip, lovely people, also a real bonus to be taken to boat by a short minibus ride. If in doubt do it - you will not regret it!

  Incredible Skomer trip. The boat was fantastic and the guide incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and well organised!. We got to see dolphins, seals and PUFFINS!. We had our skomer landing cancelled... read more and we’re so grateful for this trip

  This was a great trip. Well organised, informative and safe even in strong currents.

We were all looked after very well and Mark provided a good history of the... read more island

Plenty to see though I missed out on the porpoises

  The trip surpassed expectations. This was the last operator we tried as we had spotted it on the left on the way in, but went to the other operators in... read more the town first (now really pleased they were full). Free parking at the back and a lift down on the minibus. Tour was really fun, we saw porpoise, seals and seabirds. The skipper was very friendly and knowledgeable. A few steps fo negotiate but managed easily by the youngest (3yo) and oldest (73yo) members of our party. Would highly recommend it. Boat has a decent turn of speed too which was fun, but always felt 100% safe.

  As a boat trip, it was fine. Felt safe, but not very comfortable astride and quite cramped for over an hour. Also, unsurprisingly, very wet for over half of the... read more time. We saw seal pups and birds, porpoises were rare and fleeting.
However, what they DON’T tell you when you book is that people who are not young and fit may struggle to get off and on the RIB and also with the steepest. Of the jetty and quayside with the number of steps. I do feel this should be pointed out on booking. But, if you’re. Young and fit, go for it.

  I could not of wished for a better trip to end the holiday, fantastic boat ride, amazing friendly staff and all covid regulations were followed too
Such an amazing time... read more thank you so much !

  This was such a good trip! Well organised getting to and from the boat. Saw everything we wanted and the boat ride was fab too! Well worth the money and... read more would recommend to anyone although if you struggle with steps it might not be the one for you.

  Really enjoyed our trip around Ramsey Island with Aquaphopia. 
Current COVID guidelines are in place from booking to the boat trip.
We were able to park at the back... read more of the booking office just prior to being driven to the slipway.
The boat was disinfected/cleaned prior to our trip.
Mick and Robin provided us with a safe, fun entertaining and informative view of Ramsey and its delights.
Being able to take our dog was an added bonus.  
We would happily book with Aquaphobia again.

  We were a three generation party ranging from 79 to 6, did a short trip around Ramsey Island and all enjoyed it immensely. Ideal for children, with plenty of exciting... read more vroom vroom to get to each stopping site quickly without any boring chug-chugging bits. The adults loved the power boat too. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Birds and seals in profusion and very close but the dolphins and porpoises declined to make an appearance. However, the sun did! …

  Despite a grey day the trip was amazing, we loved the rib ride and enjoyed the informative information given by our very knowledgable guide. We saw seals and some pups,... read more amazing rock formations, an extinct volcano and some very interesting birds. We also witnessed a rip tide which was a real spectacle.
Well worth the money
One thing to note, the trips were advertised for all ages, getting down to the boat involves lots of steep steps and getting on to the rib requires a good level of mobility. As you are required to site astride the seats you need to be able to get your leg up and over in a fairly small space.

  So hands up, not the first time I have reviewed Aquaphobia - but I'm a long term fan! Having had my kids grow up from toddlers to twenties on... read more family trips (with dog), this time I was with my 83 year old Dad. The Ramsay trip was as fun and informative as ever and the whole experience felt Covid secure with the boat cleaned between trips and everyone temperature checked and using face coverings. The addition of the car park and shuttle facility from St David's (and Mark's unique commentary) put these guys ahead of the other local operators.

  Wow. Mark and Dom are simply fantastic! The tour is absolutely brilliant - you see tons of sea life, breath in the fresh sea air, and go inside of the... read more island.
Swing by the Royal George in Solva for a pint afterwards as well! Cheers!

  We came to St David’s and stumbled upon aquaphobias booking office where we was met by a lovely lady who gave us so much information and we decided to book... read more on as a family of 2 adults and 2 children.

We were asked if we were happy to share the boat ride with another couple/family which we agreed and was assured it would be kept safe and it was exactly that.

Everyone wore masks on the bus journey down to the boat and at all times on the boat and we could not of felt anymore safer. It was a breath of fresh air to see a company following all covid-19 regulations whilst still allowing the most amazing trip that my children and we thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you aquaphobia for the brilliant trip, I will be recommending your trips to everyone.
