Cruise was great and we saw a lot of seals. Tour guide was informative and crews are very attentive. xxxxxxxxx.

The staff were very friendly and they were prepared to share their knowledge of the seals. We found that very interesting

Abi_O

Catamaran was very comfortable, we got to see the seals up close. Voiceover was very informative, snacks provided also. Staff were amazing.

The fact that due to travel complications we did not arrive in time on the day I approached the office and they refused to allow us even 1 Adult as opposed to 6 people 5 adults and a child all the way from Sweden and Canberra to squeeze on the boat the next day or Friday 5th so very disappointed and I thought that was inconsiderate. Consequently, the family fare flying to Sweden and Canberra tomorrow and that is a lot of money in today's financial complexities.

The cruise out to the rocks was safe, the views amazing. The staff on board were very friendly and professional. seeing the seal in their natural environment was breath taking i would do this trip again and again.

We went with our kids and they both loved it. Captain was very skillful and brought us very close to the seal rock where we saw hundreds of seals in their natural habitat doing what they were best at: surfing, sunbathing, socializing and diving. The staff on the boat was friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. We would definitely do it again in the future. Even if you are not a huge fan of the seals, the ride out from Cowes to the seal rock is worth the price itself!
