Marine Wildlife Tours in
St Davids

  Friendly, helpful staff, free parking (next to the white aquaphobia ticket office at the Grove hotel, opposite the tourist info centre) and free minibus transfer down to the boat (about... read more 10 mins). 12 seater boat- great atmosphere, specially for kids- the comfy seats are a bit like sitting on a motorbike! Very knowledgeable skipper, he seems to know the waters around the island like the back of his hand. We had a great time and saw porpoises, seals and kittiwakes and learned about them and the caves and rock formations while cruising around the island (and into some caves!) - great for kids and adults alike, thank you- it was great!!

  We had the best trip around Ramsey Island with Aquaphobia. They were very considerate with our two dogs as well. The trip was both informative and jovial, a... read more perfect combination. We saw the seals and their pups too. I wouldn't use anyone else. Can't wait to go again. Thank you so much. Judy and Viv xx

  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.

  Positive covid experience while the trip provided sights sound and amazing facts from Mark with his Welsh humour. Trip from start to finish was well organised and staff very friendly.... read more Loved it see you next year to experience the colony of birds in action. Thank you aquaphobia xx

  Amazing experience, was such fun! All Covid guidelines were followed so there was no worry or stress! Would 100% recommend.

  It was a good trip from start to finish. The booking was straight forward , paying contactless , no app downloading ! Nice lady at the ticket office. Temperature taken... read more and hand sanitizer. Social distance in minibus. Yes a minibus lift to the boat , not sure if the other boat trip companies offered that?The driver gave a little info about the local area. The boat was clean and life jackets given. The 70 minute ride was very scenic going round the ramsey island, seeing porpoises, baby seal pups, gannets and went into a cave. Do have to be quite fit though as alot of steps at the launch area and getting in and out of boat needs you to be agile. Reasonable price too compared with other companies.

  Excellent trip this lunchtime. Round the island and saw the seals and bird life. Definitely recommended.

  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.

  It offers free short term parking which is great.
It is a speedboat ride around the island, with great stops to see wildlife and the captain explains interesting facts about... read more what we see.
Enjoyed the speed of the boat!
Dogs are welcome, but I dont think my dog enjoyed it a great deal so best to leave them on shore if possible.

  Wow. We had an amazing time. Terrific value for money. So much more than the ordinary run of the mill boat trips. Fantastic customer service from booking enquiry to dropping... read more us back on the free minibus. You even managed to impress our teenager! Could have stayed on that boat all day! Thank you.

  Such an amazing experience for any age, there is also a free mini bus ride down accommodated by Aquaphobia themselves meaning there is absolutely no fuss in trying to get... read more parked down there. One of the best boat trips around. It will be the best experience as not only do you get to see all of the wildlife, but you also get to hear about the history of the island from Mark himself.
Such an amazing family run business that will do anything to make the experience the best from the beginning, if you are thinking about choosing a company for the boating experience you’d be silly not to use Aquaphobia!

  Fabulous high speed trip around Ramsey Island. All safety aspects covered with social distancing etc. Crew of rib made sure we saw all the highlights and answered a variety of... read more questions very knowledgeably. Would definitely do this trip again to see if any other wildlife turned up!

  We booked our trip at the kiosk in St David's for the following day. I said I would really love to see the puffins but lovely lady in the office... read more said unfortunately they have now left the island, they disappear around mid July, but we were told there will be seals and hopefully porpoises so we signed up for the following day. They asked if we would mind sharing the boat with another family and we will all need to wear a mask due to covid, which obviously was not a problem. What a fantastic trip!! Considering the skipper (Mark) does this trip day in and day out he was absolutely amazing and really keeps the trip fresh and alive! Mark was incredibly knowledgeable and fun for children and adults alike. It was a brilliant, exciting trip - the rib gets up to a really good speed and is great fun crashing through the waves, however, we felt completely safe at all times. The seals and pups were basking on the shore and we saw the porpoises too along with many native birds especially around the caves. Would highly recommend! Mark was definitely 5 star too!

  We were a party of 4 adults with 3 nervous children. The nerves disappeared almost instantly. Everything was well organized, and our skipper Mark put everyone at ease with his... read more professionalism and knowledge. We won't mention his jokes though! A great experience with amazing weather, we saw porpoises, seals and lots of birds, not to mention stunning scenery. Highly recommended.

  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.

  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.

  These guys go out of their way to help as well as providing the best boat trip St Davids has to offer. Highly recommended.

  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
