Visit the Seals

Seals at Seal Island, off St Ives

Often seen from the coastline, boat trips are available to Seal Island from the harbour, which is also a great way to see St Ives from a different perspective.  The trips operate throughout the day during high season, from any of the operators in the harbour.

As well as seal spotting there might also be a chance sighting of basking sharks, dolphins or even porpoises, and if you are really lucky even a humpback whale.

If you fancy some alternative sightseeing, boat trips are available to Godrevy Lighthouse, Hell’s Mouth and even fishing trips to catch your supper!

Seal spotting – concentrating face!

Kids (and bigger kids) love the thrill of a boat ride and a bit of seal spotting.
