Seal Island
"A Seal watching tour is one of the most popular things to do in St Ives, Cornwall."
Sea Safari Boat Rides to Seal Island
Join Little Mermaid on our Seal watching tours, 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. Our trip is approximately 3.5 miles following the rugged Cornish cliffs and coves onward to Seal Island.
Along the way 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 crew Ian and Dougie about their time as ex-commercial fishermen, and deep-sea diving, all while seeing some of the UK's most stunning scenery and amazing wildlife.
