Marine Wildlife Tours in
St Davids

  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'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!

  Brilliant, just brilliant - booked 2 groups of 9 and we all had a fabulous Covid-free time with birds, seals & pups plus the amazing dolphins! We will all be back again!

6 Stars from Germany

  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.

  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.

  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

  Great half day boat trip out to Grassholm, the Bishops and Ramsey. All that way and the Dolphins were in Ramsey Sound all along. Great fun trip - more impressed... read more with the seabirds on Grassholm that I thought I would be. Also saw an Atlantic Sunfish pass by the boat.

  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.

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

  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.

  My 2 grandsons screamed and laughed with excitement on their first ever boat ride. They loved it when the boat went fast and they loved seeing all the seals and... read more birds.
Captain Mark told us funny jokes and was very informative about the area. We will certainly go on another one.

  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.

  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.
