SWIM WITH SEALS LUNDY ISLAND
Join us for this unforgettable 'bucket list' adventure swimming with seals at Lundy Island! Leaving Ilfracombe in the morning we head to one of our favourite spots for a first swim. Taking to the water is fun but not at all compulsory and friends and family are welcome to remain on board to take pics and drink tea!
Lunch can either be on board or ashore at the Marsico Tavern subject to landing conditions. A flexible afternoon itinerary can include more water time or a trip around the island if conditions allow. We can decide on the day!
Masks, snorkels and fins provided and wetsuit hire available on request £10 PER WETSUIT
"A truly fantastic day. Dave, Mike and Dev, were fantastic hosts for our trip from ilfracombe harbour to Lundy island to swim with seals.
The sea was a little choppy on the way over but when we arrived at Lundy the conditions were perfect. My wife and I had never swam with seals before. The rules given were very simple, don’t crowd the seals, let them come to you. The seals were very obliging and curious. On the Kittiwake the tea, coffee and hot chocolate were offered when anybody fancied a cuppa.
Number 1 boat in Ilfracombe without a doubt, everyone was so friendly and accommodating "

THE KEY BITS
WHAT SHALL WE BRING?
Please be prepared for a full day at sea and variable conditions the open water crossing is approximately 1.5 hours.
Although we have snorkels, masks and fins available you are of course welcome to bring your own and your wetsuit. Wetsuit hire is available on request with details of sizing etc. £10 per wetsuit - Please bring cash on the day!
Please bring adequate food and drink supplies for the duration of the trip as landing cannot be guaranteed. We are delighted to offer complimentary hot drinks throughout the day and maybe a biscuit if the crew haven't polished them all off!
A camera is a must and if it’s in your phone we can charge it, so you don’t miss a thing!
We are sorry but the one thing that you can't bring on this trip is your dog. All other Kittiwake trips are dog friendly but given the abundant wildlife on the island Lundy is dog free.
Other than that come as you are, we will ensure your trip is a memorable one and for all the right reasons! :-)
Ps. We have a toilet on board!
