Description
Our weekend trip is a proven combination that offers the best value and variety for anyone wanting to pack in an amazing wildlife filled weekend in West Wales. It also offers just enough weather flexibility to make it happen even when the weather gods are not smiling!
Join us on a unique adventure where on one day we explore the rich waters of the Celtic Deep 30 miles offshore. Our focus will be on encountering blue sharks but our wish list of possible species includes porbeagle sharks, sunfish, minke & fin whales, common & bottlenose dolphins and bluefin tuna. All have been sighted on this trip. Orca and humpback whales are also infrequently encountered in this area. The Celtic Deep is a long way offshore so we need to leave no later than 8am. It's a full day and we're not usually back much before 6:30pm.
The flexibility of the two days means we can pick the bext conditions for offshore one day and switching up to explore the Pembrokeshire nearshore habitats and islands on the other day. Swimming with seals and seabirds around Skomer & Skokholm and taking in the spectacle that is Grassholm and it's 39 thousand gannets. Dolphins and less frequently whales and basking sharks are sighted on the Grassholm run. The islands trip is a shorter day (6hrs) which allows for either a gentler start time or an earlier finish, enabling you to enjoy debrief in the pub or, an earlier drive home.
Offshore trips are 18yrs minimum (16 with an adult).
