Good to know

WHERE DO YOU PARK? There is plenty of parking along the shore. There is a free car park beside the Ahoy Cafe just opposite where the boat is tied up. The muster point is at the head of the breakwater on the Small Craft Harbour, but we ask that passengers kindly do not park here as the pier is very busy with new boats being built.

Beautiful boat trip along the breathtaking coast

It was a really great tour. We were very lucky, because the weather was great and the sea was very calm. Right at the beginning, we saw dolphins. A dream. The cliffs are breathtaking and it is great to see them from the sea for once. Highly recommended, but the weather has to be right.

Excellent staff and...

Excellent staff and stunning views. We even saw dolphins playing in the water together. The cliffs and caves are exceptional; the captain even allows for a bit of a "pit stop" so you can enjoy them and get some great photos while not moving.

Kind and attentive crew...

Kind and attentive crew going the extra mile- everything from offering sunscreen, sharing insights about geologic processes and steering the boat so passengers could have the best view of a dolphin pod!
