Marine Wildlife Tours in
St Davids

  There are several boat trips around Ramsey Island but we’d recommend this one. All seem similar. High speed ridge boat, you straddle a narrow padded bench two to a seat... read more so you can hug your wife or children as the boat crashes down off a wave. It’s great fun, very safe but with the edge of being on a speed boat at sea. Crew very friendly, take you all round the island, pointing out interesting parts, driving into bays to see seals and their pups. There was a couple with very young children/toddlers but personally I would not take a child under 5/6 especially in rough seas as you do need to hold on. Great fun though.

  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!

  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.

  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

  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 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!

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

  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

  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 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.

  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.

  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.

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

  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!

  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.

  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.

  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 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.
