Come snorkelling and have a close encounter with a seal! Watching seals swim gracefully and effortlessly in their natural environment is a fabulous wildlife experience.
A diving instructor will guide and assist you. All equipment is provided. No previous snorkelling experience is required, but you should be confident to swim in open water.
The minimum age is 8 and all children need to be accompanied by an adult. These three hours trips are always popular so book early in your holiday to avoid disappointment.
Price £45 (minimum of two for a trip). For groups of four or more, price £42 per person. Payment by cash, cheque or BACS only. We charge £10 per person for those who want to watch their party snorkelling but don't want to get in the water.
If you're not staying on St Martin's and your trip is in the morning, we do offer a pick up service at £5 per person. We can collect you from St Mary's or Old Grimsby, Tresco. You will be travelling in our RIB so please wear appropriate protective clothing for the weather conditions. You will return to your island on a scheduled tripper boat at your own expense.
Please note that trips will be cancelled if our staff consider conditions unsuitable for beginners.
