Highlight of my trip!! - I 100% recommend the sea safari tour to anyone looking for a thrilling ride along with beautiful scenery and up close wildlife encounters! Our tour guide Paddy was enthusiastic and had loads of knowledge of the surrounding geology and nature. He also kept us on our toes by speeding again the choppy waves and doing donut loops with the boat!! I definitely recommend any adrenaline seekers to sit at the front of the boat as that's where you feel the waves the most! The tour itself is definitely value for money as its 2 hours long and you get to see so much! Thanks Sewells Marina for an amazing adventure!!
