  We came to St David’s and stumbled upon aquaphobias booking office where we was met by a lovely lady who gave us so much information and we decided to book... read more on as a family of 2 adults and 2 children.

We were asked if we were happy to share the boat ride with another couple/family which we agreed and was assured it would be kept safe and it was exactly that.

Everyone wore masks on the bus journey down to the boat and at all times on the boat and we could not of felt anymore safer. It was a breath of fresh air to see a company following all covid-19 regulations whilst still allowing the most amazing trip that my children and we thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you aquaphobia for the brilliant trip, I will be recommending your trips to everyone.

  We were a three generation party ranging from 79 to 6, did a short trip around Ramsey Island and all enjoyed it immensely. Ideal for children, with plenty of exciting... read more vroom vroom to get to each stopping site quickly without any boring chug-chugging bits. The adults loved the power boat too. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Birds and seals in profusion and very close but the dolphins and porpoises declined to make an appearance. However, the sun did! …

It is a speedboat ride around the island, with great stops to see wildlife and the captain explains interesting facts about... read more what we see.
Enjoyed the speed of the boat!
Dogs are welcome, but I dont think my dog enjoyed it a great deal so best to leave them on shore if possible.

  Had a wonderful time on this boat trip, we did an hour trip and saw lots of different animals including loads of seals! Would recommend to anyone any age the... read more boat is very fun.

  What a great experience! Our trip around Ramsey Island had everything, speed, wildlife, caves and geological information. The guide was extremely knowledgeable.
Great being able to park... read more in St Davids and having a free shuttle back and too to the boat.
We saw seals, both swimming in the water and saw females waiting to give birth on the beaches around the Island. We were lucky enough to see some newly born seal pups too.
Our guide knew we may see porpoises because the gannets were circling above, a sign the porpoises were chasing fish to the surface of the water. He was so right!! We were lucky to see the porpoises.
A great trip, I would highly recommend.

  This trip around Ramsey Island with Aquaphobia was great fun and excellent value for money. The boat ride was exhilarating and the island itself beautiful. We were lucky enough... read more to see porpoises as well as seals and a whole array of sea birds... including puffins in flight! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We'd certainly recommend. …

  So hands up, not the first time I have reviewed Aquaphobia - but I'm a long term fan! Having had my kids grow up from toddlers to twenties on... read more family trips (with dog), this time I was with my 83 year old Dad. The Ramsay trip was as fun and informative as ever and the whole experience felt Covid secure with the boat cleaned between trips and everyone temperature checked and using face coverings. The addition of the car park and shuttle facility from St David's (and Mark's unique commentary) put these guys ahead of the other local operators.

  We went on an hour long trip around Ramsey Island yesterday, 4 adults, a 15 year old, two 13 year olds and a 12 year old. It was the highlight... read more of our holiday! We hired a private boat, highly recommend if there is a large group of you. Saw seals and dolphins. Lots of great info from the guide who is a Marine Biology graduate. Mini bus and free car parking were great. All the people so very friendly and helpful. The children loved the speed! Beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend!

  A lovely trip around Ramsey Island. The boat goes a lot faster than we gave it credit for, but it was great fun and the kids loved it. We were... read more sat at the back and still managed to see everything. The skippers were really knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the area.

A few of the reviews mentioned that you would need to be fit to get down to the quay, however we didn't find it that bad at all (and I'm not the fittest!). There are maybe 20 or so steps, and they help you on and off the boat. There were people significantly older than us (40s) going down, so I wouldn't be too put off if you are moderately fit.

We didn't really get wet at all (it was a beautiful day), the only slight bit of water we got was going inside a cave which had a (very) little waterfall coming from the ceiling.

All in all a fab trip and would definitely recommend.

  Amazing experience! Very friendly and helpful staff! I've been on this boat several times and wouldn't go with anyone else, the jokes never get old and the information is always... read more interesting and educational. Thanks team, what a great holiday treat!

  Great time on the RIB, very friendly service from ticket booking to the minibus and the very knowledgeable skipper - loved it. Particularly appreciated the end to end service... read more re free parking and a lift to the dock - brilliant time.

  We had the best trip around Ramsey Island with Aquaphobia. They were very considerate with our two dogs as well. The trip was both informative and jovial, a... read more perfect combination. We saw the seals and their pups too. I wouldn't use anyone else. Can't wait to go again. Thank you so much. Judy and Viv xx

  My 2 grandsons screamed and laughed with excitement on their first ever boat ride. They loved it when the boat went fast and they loved seeing all the seals and... read more birds.
Captain Mark told us funny jokes and was very informative about the area. We will certainly go on another one.

  Such an amazing experience for any age, there is also a free mini bus ride down accommodated by Aquaphobia themselves meaning there is absolutely no fuss in trying to get... read more parked down there. One of the best boat trips around. It will be the best experience as not only do you get to see all of the wildlife, but you also get to hear about the history of the island from Mark himself.
Such an amazing family run business that will do anything to make the experience the best from the beginning, if you are thinking about choosing a company for the boating experience you’d be silly not to use Aquaphobia!

  We managed to get a trip without prior booking ( probably not recommended if you want a specific day or time)
Friendly company and we could leave our car in... read more free car park and taken by mini bus to the boat.
You sit astride on the seats and the boat goes fast!!
We went round Ramsey Island £ 28 per adult and it was great to go around this island and go into caves, see the nesting birds and seals. Obviously there’s no guarantee you will see anything!
The water was beautifully clear and so also saw some jellyfish!
It was a fun quick hour - enough for me as I’m not great on long boat trips!!

  We saw it all today: a huge pod of bottle nosed dolphins, seals, peregrine falcon, even some razorbills that should have dart off south last week!! What impressed me most... read more was how Mark adapted the trip to everything around us. We had a fantastic time. Many thanks.

  Despite a grey day the trip was amazing, we loved the rib ride and enjoyed the informative information given by our very knowledgable guide. We saw seals and some pups,... read more amazing rock formations, an extinct volcano and some very interesting birds. We also witnessed a rip tide which was a real spectacle. Well worth the money One thing to note, the trips were advertised for all ages, getting down to the boat involves lots of steep steps and getting on to the rib requires a good level of mobility. As you are required to site astride the seats you need to be able to get your leg up and over in a fairly small space.
