These are our most popular trips and run almost daily throughout the year so please phone or email to enquire about availability. You will spend your trip exploring the southern coast of Cornwall as we cruise under the impressive granite cliffs, and search for wild animals which inhabit this region of the British Isles, such as huge basking sharks, harbour porpoises, bottlenose dolphins, grey seals and a diversity of coastal birds. We will then spend some time offshore in search of pelagic species such as common dolphins, minke whales and storm petrels.

Children (up to 16 years, no minimum age limit): £55
Well-behaved dogs are welcome on board at a cost of £10

Book this tripStart your day with a tour around the coastline all the way up to Lizard Point before heading right out to sea for the remainder of the trip to better our chances of finding dolphins and whales, pelagic seabirds such as storm petrels, skuas and a variety of shearwaters, and a whole lot more. This trip is popular with guests wishing to see the most wildlife possible. Please find a list of the scheduled dates for our 7 hour cruises for 2021 on our home page. If unfortunately the conditions are not quite suitable to head out to sea for the full 7 hours, we will either re-schedule the trip or shorten the length of trip to 4, 5 or 6 hours. We will get in touch nearer the time to confirm likely trip duration once we have assessed the forecast.
Full day excursion: £110 per person

In The Event of Rough Weather
On all our wildlife trips advertised if for any reason the weather becomes too rough to leave the Carrick Roads and head offshore, we will still carry on with the trip but head back up the Carrick Roads and explore our wonderful and wildlife-rich Fal estuary which stretches all the way up to Truro. These rivers are full of lots of wildlife and on board a boat is a beautiful way to explore the small creeks. A plethera of waders, deer and waterbirds can be seen, as well as visits from our seals, inshore dolphins and porpoises. Classified as a Special Area of Conservation, the Fal Estuary is nationally important for several migratory and waterbirds, such as ospreys, black-necked grebes and red breasted merganser.
The Fal is the third deepest natural harbour in the World and has over sixty miles of coastline and beautifully wooded bank side shore within this vast diverse and rich in wildlife marine and estuary habitat.
