Join Little Mermaid on our Seal watching tour, head west from the harbour, towards Lands End where we soon pass St. Ives landmarks such as The Island, St Ives Head, Porthmeor Beach, and the Tate Gallery. The trip is approximately 3.5 miles following the rugged Cornish cliffs and coves onward to Seal Island.
Keep a lookout for the local wildlife, Dolphin sightings have become more frequent as both common and bottlenose dolphins pass the bay. A wide array of sea birds are seen and sometimes sharks and even whales are spotted.
Seal Island boasts an inlet allowing the boat to enter astern and allow close viewing of the seal colony in the most natural of habitats, we stay for around 20 minutes before beginning the journey back to St. Ives. Chat to Ian about his time as ex-commercial fisherman, while seeing some of the UK's most stunning scenery and amazing wildlife.
