boat trips

We had an amazing couple of trips today – a four hour Discovery Voyage this morning followed by a two hour Bay Discovery this afternoon. There were cetaceans everywhere we looked this morning – we had great views of two minke whales feeding in the bay this morning, who both came very close to the…

It was such a relief today to have sunny calm weather – all day long! And luckily we did because we had 2 three hour trips followed by an evening two hour trip. We saw lots of common dolphins on all three of the trips, along with many hauled out grey seals on the low…

We had the weirdest day of weather today, with more thick murk at the start. This lifted enough for the trip to run in the morning and we had a great time with a local group of youngsters and their families. Lots of them were on a boat for the first time and we found…

Where has summer gone? It’s like October out there! Despite the cool windy conditions today’s passengers were again rewarded for their hardiness and enthusiasm, with common dolphins and Risso’s dolphins on both trips.

They were hard to spot in the challenging sea conditions, but it seemed like there were quite a few….

We had a three hour Ocean Discovery followed by a four hour Discovery Voyage today – a busy day! This morning we  found multiple groups of Risso’s dolphins – there are certainly a lot around at the moment. There were some younger, darker juveniles who we have seen several times this week, plus some older…

We had  another long day today with a Discovery Voyage in the morning and an Ocean Discovery in the afternoon. This morning we got the first good views we’ve had this year of a couple of ocean sunfish! One was quite large and skittish, but the small one lay at the surface and didn’t seem…

We had a great day today with Risso’s dolphins spotted on the morning trip and hundreds of common dolphins on both the morning and the afternoon trips. The Risso’s were moving quietly down the coast and would have been easy to miss, but we spotted them. The common dolphins we saw on both trips were…
