Absolutely amazing. - What a great adventure !!! We were extremely lucky with the weather, fairly warm and sunny. But wear a light jacket or cardi for when you’re out on the sea. We got there early and got the front seats. Our pilot Greg was very knowledgable and friendly. What he doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing !!! We were so so lucky to have a pod of dolphins come play next to the rib. They stayed for ages, it was truly magical. We would all really recommend this trip. Will be going again soon.

Great experience - Great time all enjoyed it. We didn’t get to see much wildlife but that’s the way it goes. We did see lots of sea birds and leant some stuff from the skipper . Coastline is beautiful . Well organised trip

Amazing family experience - This is the third time we have used this company and they never disappoint with their friendly staff, knowledge of the torbay coast and enjoyment throughout. We will be back in the summer to see some dolphins hopefully like last year xx

An absolute MUST! - This really is a 'Must Do'! Greg was so knowledgeable & funny! Just the RIB ride blew my mind & we got to see the first Seal of the season, along with loads of Cormorants & we even had a Gannet fly overhead - they are stunning & HUGE! Purely by chance we also got too see (but not too closely!) a Navel ship! Absolutely Awesome! Worth every penny & will definitely be doing it again. Thanks Greg!

Fantastic RIB tour - Fantastic experience out on the water today. Great mixture of wildlife, scenery and thrill ride. Started with safety briefing and then sped off across the bay. Very knowledgeable commentary by Greg. Good value for money.

Excellent Experience - Wonderful experience. The best thing we've done in Torquay. Would highly recommend it. We got to see lots of wildlife, the skipper had a great sense of humour and shared interesting information about the islands and wildlife.

Loved it! But not for the faint of heart! - This was a very cool experience... but i'd liken it to riding a roller coaster. Very fast boat on very choppy water...

Faster than we thought, the boat, not the experience - A very exhilarating experience, I would recommend this to anyone who fancies something a little bit different. Very informative on migrating sea life

Great tour - This was amazing - I cannot recommend it enough. Our boat operator was brilliant and knew a lot about the area and we saw seals, dolphins and he took us into a cave. Our tour was scheduled for an hour but as we were coming back into the marina we saw a dolphin and he sat out on the water for an extra 15mins so we could watch the dolphin play. Definitely worth the money and the best part of my trip.

Boat trip no dolphins - It’s very disappointing when you don’t see what you expect. I know it’s never guaranteed but we were told at the start of the trip the dolphins and whales had not been seen all week.
