Discover Cornwall’s coastal wildlife on a Seal Safari experience, exploring the rugged shoreline in search of seals in their natural habitat. This one-hour boat trip offers a memorable way to see these curious marine mammals along one of the UK’s most beautiful coastlines. Departing from the picturesque harbour town of Padstow, you will head out aboard Ocean Voyager, a powerful RIB boat skippered by RNLI crew member Ian Kitto. Along the way, Ian shares fascinating insights into the local coastline, marine life and maritime history. Staying close to the dramatic Cornish cliffs, the safari explores secluded caves and hidden coves that are only accessible by sea — favourite resting spots for seals. While sightings can’t be guaranteed, the skipper’s experience gives you the best possible chance of spotting them swimming, resting or playfully popping up nearby. You may also see a variety of coastal birds along the route, adding to the magic of this relaxed yet exciting wildlife adventure. This Seal Safari is a fantastic way to experience Cornwall from the water — don’t forget your camera.
