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.
Cost: £38 per person

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, bottlenosed and Risso's dolphins, porpoises, basking sharks, sunfish and many other types of marine life. Truly a marine discovery and worth every penny!

A one hour trip which takes you to Cudden Point in the east and St Clement's Island in the west with a stop at the fabled St Michael's Mount. Wildlife experiences on the Bay Discovery can be just as extensive as anywhere else and sometimes remarkable - seals, basking sharks, sunfish, dolphins and porpoises have all been spotted, as well as a minke whale early this summer! A trip more suitable for families with younger children, or those looking for a tase of West Cornwall's marine environment.
Cost: Adult £18
Child (under 15) £14
Family (2 adults & 2 children) £55
