Overview

This is the longest boat trip we do.
We will leave Torquay Marina and head out into the bay. Dependant on the weather we will either turn left or right but with way we will hug the coast. Along our route we will explore coves, caves and rock islands as we admire the geology of the UNESCO Geopark and look out for wildlife.

We hope to see seals, dolphins + porpoise as well as an array of sea birds including our Guillemot colony (March - August).

We will take in the whole bay and weather dependant extend further down the coast enhancing our changes of spotting more wildlife.

Wildlife is not guaranteed but we will do our very best to find them !!

We will also have some fun at speed and a few donuts !!

This is truly a great way to get out on the water. Our experienced guides have lots of local information and are so passionate about our local area and wildlife. So book with us today and create some special memories.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on 90 Minute Coastal Explorer in Torquay?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
