“Wow what a fantastic morning out on the water! Trip was well organised. It was so exhilarating racing across the waves in the rib! Our guide Kelsey was really something else, her knowledge of the local area & wildlife was very in depth & impressive and together with her warm and friendly manner made for such a fantastic experience! We did see dolphins & seals plus watching the gannets feed up close was mesmerising! The coastline is simply stunning. I would 100% recommend Padstow Sea Safaris!”
