Had a wonderful trip on a beautiful day. Excellent value and the kids absolutely loved it. Great to hear about the flora and fauna, and the children enjoyed the activity books when they got home. Well organised by really nice people! Just the right amount of time. Care taken with booking and boat skipper really new the locality and wildlife.... More

Good commentary with a sense of humour! What you see through the glass bottom is obviously dependent on visibility on the day, but we saw seals, a puffin and many sea birds as well as starfish and sea urchins and enjoyed the trip very much. Binoculars and warm jackets were provided and Richard the skipper was very knowledgeable.

Didn't get to see any sea life bar a solitary seal, however the staff were very well informed and did learn a lot about the marine ecosystem!

We'd been travelling the coastal areas of The Highlands for a few days and decide to take this trip. So glad we did. The skipper was very engaging as he explained the plethora of sealife beneath our feet. and through the supplied binoculars. A veritable David Attenborough of the seas! Great stuff. If you get the chance - do it!... More

April 2013 was the third time we have been on the glass bottomed boat with our children (now aged 7 and 9), and again we all had a wonderful experience. Every time it amazes me what there is to see, and when added to the friendliness and knowledge of the hosts the trip is good value and hits that spot... More

My 15yr old grandson and I had a wonderful trip with Sealife. The experience started well when we arrived at the booking office. We were both fascinated by the displays exhibited around the room, wonderful pictures! Jill was very welcoming and professional in her approach to everyone who came to the office. Once on the boat, Ric's enthusiasm and knowledge... More

All questions were answered and some answers with amusement and enthusiastically. Would recommend this trip if you are a big kid or have kids of your own. Definitely worth the... More

The whole experience was fantastic from arriving to leaving. Jill greeted us and was especially good with the children. The office was bright and inviting. When we got to the boat Richard greeted us warmly and was informative throughout the trip. He answered any questions we had in an interesting way and even let the boys steer the boat. I... More

My husband and had a fantastic time becoming kids again. It was September and the weather was changeable which was not a problem as jackets were provided. Any questions asked were answered enthusiastically and we saw a lot of the local wildlife as the skipper new exactly where he was going. Great trip and would recommend it to anyone.

We were disappointed not to get out on the whale cruise so this was our back up plan. It was brlliant. Skipper was so enthusiastic and we got to see macro and micro fauna. Great engagment with our small kids who made to feel special from the booking office to the boat and back to the booking office. The special... More
