This trip was really nice. We saw dolphins, seals and a sunfish! We may go back in the future to see if we are lucky to see humpback whales! The only thing I wouldn’t recommend if you get dizzy easily as the Irish Sea can be rough sometimes.

Incredibly nice captain. Great ride... a lot of commitment so that we get our money's worth... saw dolphins and mink choice. Incredibly nice organiser, the wife was always helpful, from where to get coffee to calling me right away because we couldn't find the boat...highly recommended. Lovely again.
