SKOMER ISLAND BOAT TRIPS

  Absolutely brilliant and worth every penny. So.much to see especially the birds and we even saw seals. The boat driver stopped at many places around Ramsey Island and was... read more so informative and knowledgeable which made it perfect. I would strongly recommend this and me a my partner were blown away by it. Super friendly staff made it all great. We'll done

  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.

  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 !) .

  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!

  Staff wonderful especially the lady in the ticket office who helped get me ther on time. My dog and I spent a lovely afternoon seeing all the wildlife around Ramsey... read more Island loved the seals very informative commentary well worth it.

  A really amazing trip to see a lot of wilde animals. We saw dolphins
Our childs from 5 to 16 loved it.

6 Stars from Germany

  Excellent tour of Ramsey Island. Staff friendly, helpful, and informative. Had 3 teenagers with us and they all loved it. We saw sea lions, porpoise and different species of birds.... read more Staff were very knowledgable and answered any questions we had. We all felt comfortable and safe throughout our trip. If you are in this neck of the woods, please book with Aquaphobia, definitely worth it.

  We parked at the office in St Davids and chatted to Sue then were driven down to St Justinians by a very nice man whose name I can't remember. We... read more had Mark (skipper) and Eirlys (Snowdrop) in a 280 horsepower rib. Our trip left and returned on time. We had booked the entire boat privately because, having stayed in St Brides bay for over 20 yrs, we wanted to see things from the sea (and no one else wanted to book this trip I guess). Mark was a great skipper and very knowledgeable about the coats having been here since a boy. Eirlys was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, having been recently involved in an archaeological dig nearby; also really nice to chat with. Mark timed it all very well; we managed about half of the bay in 2 hours then blasted back across the flat-calm bay at high speed. A really lovely informative and exciting trip. We might do the other half of the bay next year.
Note: the rib is black rubber which can leave marks on light-coloured trousers when climbing in and out.

  Despite a grey day the trip was amazing, we loved the rib ride and enjoyed the informative information given by our very knowledgable guide. We saw seals and some pups,... read more amazing rock formations, an extinct volcano and some very interesting birds. We also witnessed a rip tide which was a real spectacle. Well worth the money One thing to note, the trips were advertised for all ages, getting down to the boat involves lots of steep steps and getting on to the rib requires a good level of mobility. As you are required to site astride the seats you need to be able to get your leg up and over in a fairly small space.

  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.

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

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

The guys on the boat (RIB) were great, attentive, chatty, it all felt safe and professional. The trip was great, a bit of speed, a bit of bouncing on waves, porpoise watching, seals and seal pups, caves. And lots of interesting info from the guys on the geology of the islands, the habbits of the porpoise and seals. All in it was a great trip that felt really good value for the price.
