Boat Tours

If you’d rather leave the heavy lifting to someone else, why not try a boat tour? Open for all ages there is a range available including tours along the coast and down the Cleddau estuary as well as wildlife spotting excursions where you can spot the famous wildlife that calls Pembrokeshire home.

Where to try it:

There are tours leaving from various locations around the coast. One of the most popular is the region around Skomer Island which is designated a Marine Nature Reserve – one of only three in the UK. The cliffs are packed with puffins, guillemots and other sea birds and a tour really lets you get close to them in their natural habitat. There are also specific tours to look for marine mammals like dolphins, porpoises, seals, and even sometimes – whales.
