Wildlife Boat Trips & Tours FAQs
Around Cornwall’s coastline whales aren’t seen often, there is one resident that is seen more than others and that’s the Minke Whale, all other whales are rarely seen.
Most likely yes, although we can’t guarantee sightings of the dolphins in Cornwall because of mother nature, we regularly see dolphins on our 2 hour rounding boat trip in Cornwall’s popular town of Padstow.
We don’t often see Basking sharks on our Cornwall boat trips as they’re usually a couple miles offshore but can sometimes drift inshore when the weather suits their conditions. Who knows you might get lucky!
Our boat trips are suitable for everyone but please be aware we cannot control the sea conditions on the day.
If we need to cancel your trip due to rough sea conditions or minimum passenger numbers (4) not being met, we will offer to reschedule you for a later date. If this is not possible, we can issue you with a full refund. Please note: If you cancel a booking yourself, we require 24 hours notice to be able to issue a refund.
Well behaved small to medium sized dogs are permitted on our boats, however, often dogs do not like the sensation of being on a bouncy boat so please take this into consideration.
We take from ages 2 and up (babies are not permitted). Please be advised that our boats travel at speed and can be very bouncy which some young children enjoy but others are not so keen on. Individual children’s suitability is at your discretion.
Access to the boat will either be down steps on the harbourside with a large step down into the boat or using a step ladder from the beach (at low tide). We have taken many passengers with mobility issues and our crew are very accommodating to give assistance where necessary. As long as you can make it up/down a flight of stairs either with or without assistance, you should be fine to access the boat.
