Norwich Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Excellent throughout very informative would definitely use again

I love this place. I have been 5 times over the last 5 days, and I will be going 6 for 6 tomorrow, given I'm on holiday in the area. I myself am an aquarium fanatic, I've been to majority across the UK and I am not lying when I say this is one of the best ones!! I cannot take people who say there isn't enough seriously, like what did you want, Whales? There is more than enough to see across 166 species in 35 tanks, and this place does genuine good, 98 Seal Rescues obviously being a good indicator!! The Staff Members are friendly!! You will find very talkative employees within the Rockpool and Rainforest Rangers, where they are respectably knowledgeable!! I believe over the last 5 days I've met most of the team, today was Willow who I saw in both Rockpool and Rainforest Rangers and yesterday was Matt, among others I cannot remember for the fact my memory is shockingly bad!! But they all know their facts well!!! Areas like the Rainforest and Penguin Beach are highly immersive, and the soundtracks are done really well, I am guilty of trying to look for the music that plays outdoors on Google!!! Entrance Staff are really kind too, for context, I have a Merlin Platinum, and the earliest you can book is 11:00 for some reason, but they have let me in at 10:15!!!Overall, Immersive, Lots to see, friendly staff!! I am looking forward to Visit Number 6 tomorrow!! I couldn't fathom how many times I'd come if it were my local aquarium and not a 4 hour drive from home!!! People do not rate Sealife Hunstanton enough as it is better than London and Birmingham in my eyes!!

A fantastic and unique experience from bouncing over to waves to traveling along creeks through costal salt marshes. Andy tailored the trip to our requirements providing a very enjoyable experience. If you want to experience the Norfolk coast by sea, this is the way to do it. Very highly recommended

Very, very good. We are an aging couple who are a bit wobbly and we wondered whether we would be able to board easily. It was easy with marvellous help from the crew. The trip itself was great with a very knowledgeable description of what we saw. Even as people who live locally we learned a lot. Very well worth it - we may try their other offerings!

We had a great Tour with Ray who really highlighted the hidden history of Colchester with so much many interesting facts that I’m still trying to remember them all!! Thoroughly enjoyable and would recommend to anyone visiting the city.

Lovely guide - explained the games well, lots of shouting from Bethany

great fun night with the lads.Bethany deserves a pay rise

We booked a private charter boat ride for my partner’s birthday and honestly, it was the most incredible afternoon! 🥰From the moment we met Andy, he was so welcoming, friendly and lovely. He asked if we had anywhere in mind that we wanted to go, and of course we immediately said we wanted to see the seals! 🦭The sea was pretty choppy that day with some big swells, and whilst the water slightly terrifies me, it was honestly so exhilarating — and we felt completely safe the whole time. Andy is incredibly skilled and clearly knows the coast like the back of his hand.We were lucky enough to see the seals, who were absolutely adorable, before heading back. The journey back was much smoother as we were going with the waves, and we got to watch the sun starting to set too, which was the perfect way to finish the afternoon. 🌅We 100% recommend booking with Andy and will definitely be booking again! If you’re debating whether to book and reading reviews first, take this as your sign — DO IT! Andy is a local who knows the area and coastline inside out, and the whole experience was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. 💙

friendly, informative staff. Clear directions, good value for money, easy to book, exhillarating ride,right amount of people - not too crowded, great to see the seals in their natural habitat.felt safe. kept to time

A great visit for the children. Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Jackie on the front desk. Thank you. Card payments only in the Costa cafe.

Nice visit. Jackie and Lauren gave us good and helpful customer service, Jackie in particular who found us some ear defenders for my daughter as we had forgotten ours. I was sorry to hear many of your complemetary ear defenders are not returned! I will send you some as a thank you for your kindness that day. Having a day out as a SEN family can be difficult and we also appreciate the carers ticket you offer. Your sea creatures all looked well looked after. We wish there had been a little more to do as felt it didn't last as long as we would have liked but it was nice while it lasted.

Lovely experience, stunning findings, and 18k steps!

Accommodation booked through Cottages.com. Finding house with walk-in shower and "No Pets" took a good deal of time. 1- 11 July. High standard of accommodation down to availability of simple tools, chargers for appliances. House 3 minutes from pleasant pub and beach. much to do in Suffolk, including horse & carriage ride & boating lake at Thorpe Ness (really good food at Dolphin pub), Orford Ness (Nat. Trust), Oulton Broad, Southwold (good food at Crown Hotel).

Very good experience. We walked all around Norwich. There is no time limit. You can pick the tour up another day if you run out of time. All the information is in the app you need to download. Walked around Norwich and got to see lots of parts you wouldn't otherwise see. You get to read blue plaques for example to give you clues to the points you need to answer a question to move on to the next spot. Really fun. I love geocaching and it felt a little like virtual geocaching.

Matt and Olly were absolutely fab! We had a brilliant visit recently, the whole staff crew were brilliant, but Matt and Olly stood out. We had the chance to feed Lulu and Gully and what am experience!! Both were incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we had such a brilliant time! With lots of interesting tidbits thrown in !We have been raving about them and the sea life centre and we will definitely be back! Thank you to the whole team!

This was a lovely way to spend a sunny Saturday morning. It was really relaxing and our guide was very informative. We visited the Trawler museum right next to the mooring - also well sorry a visit.
