This is the shortlist to send a friend: 5 safari tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
2-hour RIB safari from Padstow into the Atlantic for seals, dolphins, and seabirds, with waterproof gear and expert guidance.
“Had a brilliant time, we saw Dolphins, seals, and lots of seabirds. Never seen so many dolphins before, they were all around the boat! The scenery was spectacular and the waves battered the rocks. Was an amazing time. Took my parents for mums 70th birthday.”
1 hour speedboat on Loch Linnhe from Fort William, spotting seals and birds, with Ben Nevis views and a small-group RIB ride.
“Such a fun and enthusiastic experience! We saw seals up close and learned fascinating facts about them, as well as surprising information about why eating salmon isn’t actually as good as you might think. The guide was friendly, very knowledgable and gave clear instructions at the start. Highly recommended!”
1-hour RIB seal safari from Padstow, Cornwall. Spot grey seals, birds, and maybe dolphins, with waterproof gear and expert local guidance.
“Booked as a birthday treat for my girlfriend who loves animals. There is something for everyone she loved the sea lions and I loved being whizzed around on a speed boat! Very knowledgeable guide and friendly captain - quality water proof overalls are provided and simple buoyancy aid demonstrated provided prior to activity. On the water for an hour and saw plenty of seals 🦭. Excellent value for money will definitely be doing it again!”
Sea cave kayaking from Oddicombe, Torquay. Paddle caves and coves, hunt Devonian fossils, forage seaweed, fire up marshmallows.
“Nothing to be improved, was a very good experience. They took safety very seriously, did forecast some rain. Glad we did not cancel as like weather forecast said showers, if was going to be bad weather they would have cancelled or rescheduled it. Definitely recommend and don’t be put off with weather forecast. 👍😁”
3.5-hour Gin Safari on a Pashley bike, tasting London gin history, cycling bridges, and painting graffiti at Leake Street Arches.
Every kind of day out, from stone circles to stadium tunnels.
