Our boat trip wasn’t great from the off. The seats on the boat were wet (yes I know boats & water go together) but you don’t expect to be soaked through before you set off!!! The water was choppy which was great fun and possibly the most interesting part. We weren’t shown hardly any wildlife and definitely no dolphins. Whilst I get that this is not guaranteed for £40 you certainly expect more than a bit of commentary and a 2 hr boat trip. A little bit disappointed to say the least

My trip in July 2019 was my second experience of sailing with Dolphin Survey Boat Trips. The first being on the Anna Lloyd two years previously when my child was 5.
We were a family party, consisting of four adults (3 middle aged & 1 senior), two young children of 3 & 7 years and a 6 month old baby. Whilst discussing booking a trip, we were informed that this particular sailing involved a dingy transfer from the harbour to the boat ‘Sulaire’ (& on return). That was a slight concern due to having such young children & a baby but we were assured we would be assisted embarking & disembarking. We had already watched other parties being assisted in making the transfer & felt confident in the ability of the staff and the safety measures in place. It was a very easy, efficient and safe transfer - life jackets were provided for all (including baby, despite her protests!). Help was provided for those less confident in accessing either vessel and at hand for more independent individuals. A short information talk regarding safety and we were off on a calm sea along the beautiful, rugged Cardigan coast.
The trip was most enjoyable and we all felt very relaxed during the trip. The captain was knowledgeable & informative about wildlife and its conservation in the area, yet didn’t overload us information, which ample time for us to simply enjoy the experience. We were free to ask questions move around the boat (with such low numbers onboard, I found being able to move freely a fabulous opportunity to imagine life as a boat owner! However, the freedom was especially super for the two young children.
I cannot recommend this experience highly enough - there are plenty of other boat trips at Cei Newydd but you’ll be packed in onboard like sardines.
My only wish is for additional information about historical events of the coastal area - but I guess I can read up on that before my next outing.
Thank you for the experience & sharing your knowledge but most of all, thank you for caring about wildlife conservation.
