About This Adventure
Embark on a captivating 3-hour wildlife cruise in Falmouth Bay, perfect for families with young children. Experience the stunning coastline and encounter diverse wildlife without the commitment of a longer trip. This shorter adventure promises memorable moments and exploration, making it an ideal choice for a delightful day at sea.
Duration: 3 Hours
Due to popular demand, and with a particular focus on families with young children, we are now pleased to offer 3 hour wildlife cruises. Very similar to our 4 hour cruises, these are just a slightly shorter alternative for those not wishing to spend the full 4 hours at sea, but still give us plenty of time to explore along the spectacular coastline and to discover some of the fabulous wildlife Falmouth Bay has to offer.
Please Note
We have a minimum of 4 people booked onto each trip for the trip to run, or a minimum cost of £250 can be paid and the trip can run, to cover the costs associated with running the trip. If we find that there are 3 or fewer people booked onto a trip then we will do our very best to contact you and rebook your trip.
In the event of rough weather that may prevent us from getting offshore and into Falmouth Bay, we will continue you with the trip. But, instead we will head up the Carrick Roads and into our exception Fal Estuary stretching from Falmouth all the way to Truro.
