Best for families with primary-age kids keen on seals, seabirds and coastline, led by guides who make the Pembrokeshire waters around Ramsey and Skomer come alive.
๐ Funzaroo Verdict
The real draw is a guide who turns a boat trip into a live nature documentary, naming the birds, seals and occasional dolphin as they surface, with commentary pitched to keep primary-age children watching rather than fidgeting. Weigh the trip length against how long younger ones will sit happily on open water, and plan for sea conditions.

โMy husband, teenage son and I booked the 90-minute tour around Ramsey Island on the spur of the moment and were so glad we did. The guide Chris was a mine of information about the island (geography, history and wildlife) and we saw lots of seals and seabirds, including cormorants, oystercatchers, gannets and kittiwakes. The geology and structures of the island itself are also fascinating close up. We'll definitely book again, potentially for one of the longer tours, next time we're in the area. In terms of logistics, it was easy to book online, and there is a small car park (a field) opposite the campsite above the lifeguard station where you board the boat - this costs ยฃ4 in cash. A few minutes' walk back up the road brings you to the campsite toilets and a coffee cart which were handy. From the car park, it was about a 5 minute walk downhill (including a flight of steps) to check in and board the boat. There were a few trips departing around the same time but the process was smooth and well organised. Overall an excellent experience and would definitely recommend it!โ

โWe chose the 2 hour expedition to Skomer Island and it was absolutely fantastic. We saw puffins, many other birds and....dolphins! Absolutely magical. In addition Chris was so knowledgeable providing a commentary throughout, as well as making it fun and engaging for our kids aged 6 and 10. It was like being in a real life nature documentary! Booking was easy and we found free parking 1 minute away. (Not only this but my husband left his phone on the boat, although the next trip had departed, the skipper turned the boat around to bring it back for him!) We thoroughly recommend thousand island expeditions.โ

Overview
A 90-minute boat trip tracing the cliffs and coves of Ramsey Island off the Pembrokeshire coast, with a guide reeling off the island's geology, flora and fauna as you go. Between the commentary there are seals hauled out on the rocks, wheeling seabirds and the occasional dolphin breaking the surface. One of those outings that sends families back for a second trip.
