The Ocean Discovery

Imagine spending two and a half hours speeding over open ocean to visit off-shore shoals and reefs, and the fascinating Wolf Rock lighthouse. Going further offshore can increase your chances of seeing all manner of marine life, from migrating and fishing seabirds, to pods of dolphins. Places like the Epson Shoal are very productive areas of the ocean where wildlife often gathers to feed on plankton and fish. As well as Porpoises, Bottlenose and Common Dolphins and Basking Sharks, more unusual species may be encountered such as Risso's Dolphins and even giants such as Fin, Pilot and Minke whales. An unforgettable ocean adventure.

As this is a real offshore experience, it can only take place in calm conditions and good visibility. Children over twelve are welcome.

The Marine Discovery

Our most popular trip offering something for everyone. An exhilarating two hour ride to discover Penwith's wonderful wildlife, stunning coastline and famous features such as the Minack Theatre. Depending on conditions and recent sightings, you could find yourself exploring the fabulous stacks and cliffs of Lands End via the turquoise waters of Porthcurno, before taking an offshore route via the Runnelstone back to port. Alternatively, our easterly trip goes to the spectacular cliffs and mines around Rinsey Cove, then returns via the offshore reefs. On these trips we have seen seals, many species of seabirds, Common, Bottlenose and Risso's Dolphins, Porpoises, Basking Sharks, Sunfish and many other types of marine life.

Suitable for children over six.
