We had originally booked for the Saturday morning slot but unfortunately when we turned up the boat ride had to be cancelled due to very windy conditions and huge waves. However Voyages of Discovery managed to book us onto a trip the next morning and the weather was kinder to us.
I found Voyages of Discovery easy/friendly to deal with and the boat site was easy to find/park at.
The 'skipper' and the 'tour guide' were both absolutely fantastic and really added to the whole experience. They were both very knowledgeable and the facts that they told us during the trip were fascinating - it helped that you could hear their passion as they spoke about it.
We managed to see plenty of birds plus two different groups of seals. In addition to the wildlife, the island itself is fascinating with it's history and geological formation.
There was one 10min stretch on the way home where the conditions got a little 'fruity' (to use the skipper's expression) - the waves were very big and we did end up getting quite wet (highly recommend waterproofs as you never know what the sea is going to throw at you)! However, the skipper's control of the RIB was next to none. I felt very safe at all times, despite the conditions, and you could really feel how under control he had the boat.
Will absolutely be booking another tip if we return to Pembrokeshire in the future!
The boats feel very safe and you're given life jackets to wear. It's easy to get in and out the boat too, and the staff were really reassuring especially as I am nervous on boats. Definitely wrap up warm, it was 26c when I went and it was really cold out on the sea.
I can't recommend this company enough, these were some of the best trips I have done.
We live in St Davids and it's the first trip we've taken and we will definitely be back with more of the family when they visit. 5 star rating all day long
