Absolute perfection from start to finish! Myself and my children had the absolute best experience that I could ever have imagined today. The lady at the booking hut (i am so sorry, I did not catch your name!) was so wonderful and polite. She gave us a choice of different boats and cruises to which we picked the dreamcatcher. As soon as the boat arrived, Chloe and Matthew were a delightful ray of sunshine. Both were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and full of passion of their surroundings. They made our trip so much better just by being a part of it. It was wonderful seeing New Quay from sea angle in all it's beautiful colours whilst learning more about it. We also seen multiple dolphins up close, which added to the joy we was having. (Forgive the photo's as I forgot to bring my camera.) The dreamcatcher itself was fantastic as you was free to move around to get the best views for dolphin watching. It was also immaculately clean. We was greeted by the lovely lady who we originally booked with on our return, who asked us how we got on, how we enjoyed it, etc. It was clear that she really cared about our answers. The whole team at New Quay boat trips are a perfect example as to why we love New Quay so much! Keep up the incredible work all! We will be seeing you again in no time ❤️ 🌊🐬

We had a fantastic time! The team are super friendly and knowledgeable about the dolphins and also, other local wildlife and the landscape. We were really lucky and saw some dolphins which was amazing! The company are very respectful and abide by the code of conduct - keeping a safe distance from the dolphins and adhering to a specific time limit before moving on. Thank you - this was the highlight of our holiday!

I thoroughly enjoyed my 1.5-hour tour aboard the Suncatcher boat. We were fortunate to see many dolphins and other wildlife. The staff members were exceptionally knowledgeable and professional. Communication was excellent prior to the tour. My trip time was moved due to weather and tides, and I was made aware with plenty of notice and offered alternatives. I believe the ticket prices are reasonable for the experience provided. I would certainly suggest this tour to anyone visiting the area.
