5.00Cool skipper who knows his stuff and provided lots of information about the landscape and history! He was very keen for the tour to go ahead, and because of the weather forecast, the tour was moved forward to 10:30 – a great idea! 👍 The rain started just before the end… but that can happen, and it was on the way back! He kept me well-informed the whole time! Highly recommended tour! 👌

5.00We had a great morning, the weather was perfect and Justin our captain and guide was friendly and informative about the coast and we managed to see a pod of dolphins, I think he was more excited than the group 🤣. Overall probably one of the best ways to see the cathedral coast. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic trip!

5.00Great trip, very informative and we felt that Justin went the extra mile. Local knowledge was a big plus and we are very pleased we took this trip. Justin was mindful of his passengers in the rougher water, which was appreciated. He also ensured everyone got the best views for photography. Would highly recommend!
