Best sea safari and skipper Dunmore East

This was one of the best sea safari’s we have been on. We did not see any dolphins or seals but the skipper made up for it with local history, maritime knowledge and humour. He remembered everyone’s name and took the time to stop and take a photo of each couple and family at Hook lighthouse on the tour. Highly recommend.

Invigorating and Fun

Fantastic trip Rupert the guide/operator of the rib was fun and knowledgeable. And we saw dolphins an added bonus. Definitely do it again when I visit next.

Fantastic Fun

We had a fantastic afternoon with Rupert on the Sea Safari! It was the perfect blend of fast fun on the boat and stopping to view and learn about local landmarks. My 3 children aged between 11 and 15 thoroughly enjoyed it. I would highly recommend for anyone 😊
