“Do not hesitate- just book! My husband and I had an amazing time on this rib! The team are super professional and friendly, offering (and you should take!) waterproof clothing, all the safety gear, before hopping onto a sturdy rib! The waves are very choppy so do not go if you get a bit seasick! We managed to see puffins and even dolphins, who played around our rib! It was full.of interesting facts, lots of salty splashes, and tummy riding waves!! Excellent fun!”
