Have been on their trips a number of times. I love their full day surveys where you get to see the amazing wildlife close up. Steve and the team are always friendly and are very knowledgeable. The small number of people on the boat means there is plenty of room and it's a lovely opportunity to spend time with like-minded people. Our recent trip in June 2018 gave us some particularly special dolphin encounters.

This has got to be the best wildlife-spotting boat trip in New Quay. There were only 11 people on our boat - they take up to 12 - so we all had plenty of room to sit down or move around to see wildlife. We saw other boat trips that were packed to the rafters with people; one was so overloaded that it got stuck in the harbour. The skipper on ours gave us a great running commentary and pointed out sea birds like kittiwakes, guillemots and razorbills, We saw a couple of seals but sadly there were no bottlenose dolphins around, although we had seen a few beforehand from the harbour wall. The skipper explained that to protect the wildlife from undue disturbance there is a strict code of conduct for boats. Wildlife mustn't be chased and the same routes must be used so he wasn't allowed to go off and search for them. The trips are run by the Wildlife Trust's Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre, an education and research centre, and data on any wildlife encountered is gathered on every journey. This is so much more than a pleasure ride and good fun for all the family. You should pop into the information centre on the quay too. It's free and the kids will love the new VR game where you can spot wildlife under the sea. We couldn't get my nine-year-old off it!

Whilst on a family holiday I decided to take the kids on a boat trip to see the dolphins but I didn’t want a jet boat as I didn’t know how the kids would handle it.

This company offered exactly what I wanted. Being a conservation trip it also meant the captain was very knowledgeable and answered all the kids questions and told us lots we didn’t know about the area and the wild life.

Once we had been out for a bit the pay off was there. Dolphins spotted out at sea. For the kids this was good as they saw what they wanted. Then as if by magic dolphins alongside the boat. Crossing under the boat and breaching the water the other side. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

As we got back in after seeing some more dolphins I saw how good this trip was.
The boat was limited to 12 passengers which meant the kids could see easily whereas other I saw were loaded up with 30+ People....not sure I would have liked that.

Overall the crew and the staff in the centre were fantastic and made a excellent trip even better.

I can’t recommend them enough.
