Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Incredible trip round Ramsey Island on a modern rib, outstanding captain and ‘mate’, very knowledgeable and stopped at many interesting spots . We were fortunate to see so many seals, both on the beach and swimming, and small dolphins ( not sure the correct name) and many wild birds , and ventured into a couple of caves.
The views around are just amazing and this trip was the highlight of our 6 day visit to Pembrokeshire . There are several boat operators, but these guys really make the experience interesting and fun plus have a fast rib.
Absolutely superb and highly recommended.

Like so often I was full of good intentions to review this experience but put it off, to the point that I now can’t remember the names of the skipper and the guide. I’ve been going on their boat trips for about 30 years now, I’ve found that you always learn something new about the wildlife, history, geology or the sea but this was the first time I learnt so much about all of these. Plus we were treated to even more seals and porpoises than we saw during covid (when fewer trips were on and the mammals were bolder). Excellent experience, friendly and knowledgeable staff (though the guide had to google the Capital of Ecuador!).

Wow wow wow. What an experience! This solo 56 year old felt like a big kid on the rib ride it was so much fun !! So educational too about the geology and wildlife and we saw seals, baby seals , porpoises , even deer on the island. We were so lucky with the weather perfect conditions. Felt very safe, safety instructions given and life jackets issued. Super hosts very knowledgeable and friendly and professional. Highly recommended

We had a great time with Dave and Hannah - both really informative about Ramsey Island and the lazing seals. I’m a nervous sea passenger and it was absolutely fine! Our 2year old loved it, shouting “ready, steady, GO” as we set off each time! He loved it so much we arrived back at shore and he was fast asleep! Would recommend wearing waterproof trousers and wrapping up warm!

I would thoroughly recommend this thrilling boat trip to Ramsey Island. It was a fantastic experience which the whole family enjoyed. Matt and Dave we're very friendly and welcoming. Matt was very knowledgeable about the island and made the trip fun and enjoyable.
I loved seeing the seals in their natural environment and learning about the history of the island.

Fantastic experience - Matt and Dave were both very knowledgeable and good fun, you get great views of the island and wildlife and the boat ride itself is fab.
Thoroughly recommended.
Slightly annoyed mine isn't the 1000th review 😉

Great trip on October 12th when we were lucky enough to see porpoise and lots of seals. Knowledgeable tour guide Matt told us all about the geology of Ramsey. We were made welcome and safe and our dog Ben was able to come too.

Great trip, shame it was so windy that we could only do half the island, but we saw lots of seals and birds and the crew were very good and informative, was well worth doing. Thank you!

We have run a few of our Offshore Voyages this season and have sighted Dolphin and Minkie whale. We schedule these trips to run daily from the end of May until the end of September.
Does this run all year round? When would be the best time to come?

We have only been in the summer months June to August. Even in the summer the trips are weather dependant anyway

Are there age restrictions? Could I bring a 5 month old and a three year old?

London, UK5 contributions
An old question, but for anyone else who is wondering this, we took a 4 year old and an 8 month baby and that was fine; the skipper wasn't concerned about it. The baby had their own lifejacket and sat on my wifes lap, a quick breast feed at the start and she slept through it. Do get seats at the back, rather than the saddles in the front.

I hear that Voyages of Discovery have a new disabled access boat Viking Surveyor. Where does this boat leave from ~ my husband would not be able to manage all those steps at StJustinian.
