Marine Wildlife Tours in
St Davids

  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!

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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

  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

  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.

  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!

  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.

  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.

  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!

  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.

  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.

  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!!
