Our captain was great. It was just fun to be able to relax and enjoy the water. We did get to see the sea otters, but not any dolphins. We actually witnessed a barge taking out an oil rig! I can say I’ve been on a boat in the North Sea!!

Amazing, we saw dolphins (including a baby) seals and lots of lovely seabirds. Highly recommend! Wear a jacket even if its 30 degrees, its a bit nippy out on the estuary.

Exciting invigorating,educational,we were very fortunate with the weather …the only disappointment was that we didn’t see any dolphins …but obviously this cannot be guaranteed

Fabulous, would never have guessed there were so many dolphins so close to the harbour. Fascinating watch.

Exhilarating way to see the Tay estuary. Was a sunny but crisp morning so definitely recommend wrapping up and wear waterproofs just in case you get splashed. Tour guide was very honest about the likelihood of seeing dolphins etc. he was really nice and chatted away and had lots of interesting stories about the sights. We all loved it and would do it again in the summer on the longer trip to the isle of May

A well informed, safe and excellent trip that I would recommend to others, and at a reasonable cost.

Once we established the correct place to be the boat arrived on time, lifejacket supplied and safety brief then off we went. So many dolphins swimming with us. Sensational. Would do it all again.

Great Experience.
Would love to go again.
Nice to see a small pod of dolphins.
Better luck next time to see them more closer.

At the dock today, there was no boat, no reception staff, no notice of cancellation, and no reply to the online contact with the organizer. What do you think my mood should be?
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi, The trip was cancelled due to high winds. We tried to contact you several times on the number provided earlier in the day but were unable to reach you. We're sorry we were unable to reach you!
Amanda_H, Jul 2024

Great day for it! Very accommodating for people with disabilities and we had a great time learning new things about the city we have lived in all our lives! Can't wait to do it again!

Very nice way to kill an hour. Our guide was warm and kind. I would recommend this. This is a good way to see the city of Dundee from a different perspective
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for a great review and we're delighted you enjoyed it!!
Suresh_B, Apr 2024
Unfortunately , weather was not and trip was cancelled by the tour operator. Ian (Tour Operator) tried to call and left a voice message. The one good thing is you can reserve the place much ahead and payment is taken just 48 hours before the trip which is great.So, i have reserved again in July 24.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi, We're sorry the weather made it unable to operate but we consider it important not to take people out no matter what as we want people to have a great time and receive the best value. It would be great if you could reconsider the 3* rating as you haven't actually experienced our product and ratings have a big impact on small businesses. We provide a very high standard of customer service which you will experience and be able to rate when you come out with us!
Kind regards, Ian

The trip.was cancelled but I was contacted on the morning and messaged. The staff were courteous and apologetic.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Many thanks, It was unfortunate the weather wasn't good enough to sail and hope we'll see you another day!

Es hat alles gepasst. Die Begrüßung war sehr freundlich und offen, alle konnten zügig auf das Boot. Zwischendurch hat der Guide noch viele interessante Informationen gegeben. Wir hatten Glück und konnten Seehunde im Wasser beobachten, sogar sehr nah an unserem Boot. Echt toll! Und es hat ganz einfach super viel Spass gemacht, über das Wasser zu flitzen. Vielen Dank für das tolle Erlebnis! Gerne sofort wieder!
