Look for seals, dolphins, seabirds and other Atlantic wildlife on a responsible marine safari.

West Cornwall’s varied marine environment can support grey seals, dolphins, porpoises, seabirds and occasional larger ocean visitors. Sailing and wildlife trips aim to observe animals responsibly while giving passengers a close connection to the sea. Sightings can never be guaranteed, and that unpredictability is part of experiencing wildlife in its natural environment.

Highlights

  • Potential sightings of seals and dolphins
  • Seabirds and Atlantic marine life
  • Quiet, responsible wildlife observation

Plan your visit

Choose a responsible operator, bring warm waterproof layers and treat all sightings as a welcome possibility rather than a guarantee.

Good to know

Before you book

Outdoor and marine experiences depend on weather and safe operating conditions. Confirm age, mobility or health requirements, what clothing is provided and the operator’s cancellation policy. Responsible providers will explain safety arrangements and may reschedule when conditions are unsuitable.

  • Confirm participant requirements
  • Dress for changing conditions
  • Check weather and cancellation policies
