If you are in this neck of the woods, please book with Aquaphobia, definitely worth it.

  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!

  Fun and informative trip for me, my husband and our 2 little dogs. Loads of different birds, some seals and some porpoises all came out to say hello. Money we’ll... read more spent.

  What a great experience! Our trip around Ramsey Island had everything, speed, wildlife, caves and geological information. The guide was extremely knowledgeable. Great being able to park... read more in St Davids and having a free shuttle back and too to the boat. We saw seals, both swimming in the water and saw females waiting to give birth on the beaches around the Island. We were lucky enough to see some newly born seal pups too. Our guide knew we may see porpoises because the gannets were circling above, a sign the porpoises were chasing fish to the surface of the water. He was so right!! We were lucky to see the porpoises. A great trip, I would highly recommend.

  Wow. Mark and Dom are simply fantastic! The tour is absolutely brilliant - you see tons of sea life, breath in the fresh sea air, and go inside of the... read more island.
Swing by the Royal George in Solva for a pint afterwards as well! Cheers!

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.

  Simply superb personal service throughout the whole experience. Booking, Minibus Transfer, Boat Trip all faultless. It was all about the quality and great attitude from all the team. Skipper had... read more great local knowledge and safety on board was spot on. We did Somerset and Ramsey 2 hour trip which was worth every penny. Our party was grand parents, grand children and all in between all just loved it. My view is they have the best offering in St.Davids. Higjly reccomend.

  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.

  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.

  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 have been on a number of trips to Ramsay Island and Skomer but this trip to Ramsay by Aquaphobia was by far the best. We were a party of... read more ages 3 to 62 and all were very excited following the trip. The kids talked about it endlessly. We entered caves seeing seals and bird life. The crew looked after us continuosly,
we felt well cared for. It wasn't cheap but we felt worth every penny. It was the highlight for our Pembrokeshire holiday.

  We managed to get a trip without prior booking ( probably not recommended if you want a specific day or time) Friendly company and we could leave our car in... read more free car park and taken by mini bus to the boat. You sit astride on the seats and the boat goes fast!! We went round Ramsey Island £ 28 per adult and it was great to go around this island and go into caves, see the nesting birds and seals. Obviously there’s no guarantee you will see anything! The water was beautifully clear and so also saw some jellyfish! It was a fun quick hour - enough for me as I’m not great on long boat trips!! …

  This was such a good trip! Well organised getting to and from the boat. Saw everything we wanted and the boat ride was fab too! Well worth the money and... read more would recommend to anyone although if you struggle with steps it might not be the one for you.

  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.

  Fantastic trip from booking with Sue to disembarking without grace - me not the boat. I'm not a great traveller so keen for the weather to be as calm as... read more possible. Sue was a great help with this thank you.
An amazing trip around Ramsey, Mark was very knowledgeable as was Eirlys. We saw pods of porpoise and a variety of sea birds, all were highlighted and plenty of time to see them in their natural habitat. Unfortunately I'm not the most graceful of people and I'm sure getting on and off the rib would create anxiety for some - me included but it wasn't an issue and to be told the 'safest way to get on and off is the way feel comfortable' was a huge relief. Big thanks to all, my 10 year old stated that it was the best day ever.
