St Davids

  Fabulous trip to Skomer and Ramsey Islands for two hours ... totally recommend Mark and his crew. Really simple and comfortable (as long as your ok with riding a horse !) .

  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

  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.

  I had a great time for the whole 2 hours. We seen puffins and we seen many seals chilling in the sun. The guide, Steph was very knowledgeable, probably the... read more most knowledgeable guide I ever had. The lady who I contacted to arrange the tour was really nice and helpful and the boat captain was really experienced and made us feel safe. …

  This boat ride was the highlight of our weekend in Pembrokeshire! It was great fun and with two well informed guides to point out different species of birds we saw... read more incredible wildlife- the highlight was the seals who were really friendly. I thoroughly recommend this trip - the scenery was amazing and we were very well looked after by the captain and crew. …

  9 of us went out on the boat today for our last day in St David's and what a finale. There was another party of 2 with us and we... read more all wore our masks and had our temp taken before hand. Not a single complaint, apart from the Welsh weather leaving us all soaked to the skin but the experience was well worth it. All of the staff were lovely and we got to see loads of seals and some HUGE waves

  A lovely trip around Ramsey Island. The boat goes a lot faster than we gave it credit for, but it was great fun and the kids loved it. We were... read more sat at the back and still managed to see everything. The skippers were really knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the area.

A few of the reviews mentioned that you would need to be fit to get down to the quay, however we didn't find it that bad at all (and I'm not the fittest!). There are maybe 20 or so steps, and they help you on and off the boat. There were people significantly older than us (40s) going down, so I wouldn't be too put off if you are moderately fit.

We didn't really get wet at all (it was a beautiful day), the only slight bit of water we got was going inside a cave which had a (very) little waterfall coming from the ceiling.

All in all a fab trip and would definitely recommend.

  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'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.

  My sister and I, on a road trip around Pembrokeshire, booked an hour's Rib Boat ride to explore the coast of Ramsey island off St. David's head in Pembrokeshire. ... read more Absolutely loved the experience and got to see plenty of wildlife and seabirds, beautiful coastal scenery with our Captain Mark who was very informative and really entertaining. The trip was very well organised and everything went smoothly and efficiently. Great value for money, a convenient start point with free parking and escorted journey to meet the Rib. Would recommend the adventure!

  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.

  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!

  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

  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!

  Brilliant experience. Saw plenty of wildlife including seals, porpoise and sea birds. Went with a 6 and 11 year old who lived it. A must do trip which we'll remember... read more fondly for a long time.

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

  We went on an hour long trip around Ramsey Island yesterday, 4 adults, a 15 year old, two 13 year olds and a 12 year old. It was the highlight... read more of our holiday! We hired a private boat, highly recommend if there is a large group of you. Saw seals and dolphins. Lots of great info from the guide who is a Marine Biology graduate.
