These trips run from mid July onwards 

Swimming with seals at Lundy Island can be a unique and exhilarating experience for several reasons.

Firstly, Lundy Island is home to a large population of Atlantic grey seals, making it an ideal location to observe and interact with these fascinating marine creatures. The seals on Lundy Island are known for their inquisitive and playful nature, and swimming with them allows you to witness their graceful movements and observe their natural behaviour in their own environment.

Furthermore, Lundy Island's seal population is protected under the Conservation of Seals Act 1970, which has allowed their numbers to grow significantly. This protection ensures the preservation of the seal colony and contributes to the long-term sustainability of the species.

Swimming with seals at Lundy Island can therefore offer a thrilling and educational experience as you connect with these incredible marine animals in their natural habitat.

I cannot even start to explain what a wonderful day we had. Not only did we get a boat trip, swam with seals and a nice visit to Lundy, all the crew were amazing and made the day even more special.
We felt safe, well looked after and even had a giggle and a got choc!
Thank you so much. Great value for money and just truly amazing.

Ginny  Kingshotte 

What a fabulous day. The weather was so good and the staff couldn’t not have been more helpful. I would thoroughly recommend this 

Sam Evans

Very well run trip from Lundy Diving with the added benefit of having a marine biologist among the crew. Great fun and very interesting - I'd highly recommend 

Mark  Rochester

Fabulous day, can’t wait to go again!!!
Perfect 

Becki Williams 

A superb experience. We could not have been looked after better. The crew went above and beyond to ensure that my daughter and I had a magical day, helping her to overcome her sensory challenges and anxieties to gain an incredible memory that will stay with us both for a very long time. I can’t recommend Lundy Diving enough. 

Susan Althorpe

We had a fantastic visit to Lundy on Wednesday. We were given a warm welcome from Gemma and her Skipper on boarding the ‘Barbara B’. With plenty of time to visit Lundy Island, morning coffee in the pub, snacks from the village shop, a walk up to the top of ‘The Old Light’ with views of the whole Island. To our delight a bell ringing competition in the church and finally visiting the castle before being picked up at the jetty. To our delight we were then taken further up the island to swim with the seals. They did not disappoint, a truly wonderful experience with plenty of time given to enjoy these majestic creatures. With hot drinks to warm up afterwards. A magical experience supported by a lovely team at ‘Lundy diving’. I would highly recommend and I’ll be back again next year. Thank you.

Sammi  Willis 

What an experience!  The organisation was second-to-none, but it’s the personal touch that makes all of the difference. Oh, and the hot chocolate and biscuits… Ben and Gemma looked after us so well and also shared lots of local knowledge about the island and wildlife. Barbara D was a well-equipped boat with everything we needed for a safe and comfortable journey to Lundy. I can’t wait to go again! Thank you. 



Nicola Friedrich

An absolutely excellent day spent in the company of the  Lundy Diving team. At all times the crew were professional, helpful, knowledgeable and always looking out for our safety and the safety and well being of the wonderful seals we were privileged to swim with. 
No wonder this company has just been awarded the Prestige Boat Charter of the Year Award for the Southwest. They thoroughly deserve it and I highly recommend Lundy Diving… if you are after a wonderful experience getting close to the seals of Lundy and visiting the island itself. 

Toby Johnson

Laurie Matthews

Amazing experience! Everything was planned to go so smoothly and the genuine passion of the crew was obvious throughout the day. The vast majority of people on the boat were return customers and I can 100% see why because I can't wait to do it again! 

Andy Butterfield

This was my second trip to Lundy to swim with seals and again it was amazing. Great interaction from the seals, swimming with us, playing hide and seek and basically being like a puppy would on land. 

Helen Rook

A fabulous day for all the family exploring Lundy and snorkeling. The crew were friendly and looked after us well. Following their code of conduct the seals were happy to come over and see us of their own accord.

Ian Watkin

Amazing trip to swim with the seals, great crew, lovely family, just remind me not to wear my shorty next time brrrrr🤣

Anna Squire

We absolutely loved our day out swimming with seals with Lundy Diving! The swimming with seals was absolutely magical - they are such inquisitive friendly creatures. Our great skippers Ben and Nigel (who were great fun!) knew exactly where to find the seals. We had 2 hours with the seals and could get in and out of the water as often as we liked. They  also kept us supplied with hot drinks which was fab. As well as swimming with the seals, we loved having a couple of hours on the Island to explore a bit. The boat trip out and back was also fun (around 1hour 20 mins each way).
A really memorable, fantastic day!! 
Thank you soo much Lundy Diving!! We will definitely be back :-)

Justine Cahill

What a fabulous day from start to finish.  Well organised, welcomed on to the boat which had plenty of space and room to sit. Good safety briefing with a sense of humour. Very knowledgeable staff took us to Lundy for our exploration of the island first. This was beautiful. Then we were taken round the other side of the island to find the seals. Very well briefed by the staff on how to behave around the seals. Amazing to be in the water for 2 hours with such gorgeous creatures. Easy getting on and off the boat with an electric lift.  Welcomed back on board with a nice hot chocolate. We even got a badge to timber our day.  Just an absolute splendid trip. 🦭 🦭 🦭 🦭 

Teodora Marcu

Amazing experience! We were left plenty of time to dive with the seals and enjoy those unique moments, after having been given an attentive and detailed safety brief. Then we were given a couple of hours to explore the picturesque Lundy Island. Stuff is prepared and the whole booking process is smooth. Absolutely recommended! 

Sally Wild

This is my third trip with Lundy Diving and - as always - it was the most wonderful day on a great boat with fabulous crew to the most stunningly beautiful place. Swimming with seals is such an enormous privilege and I loved every second! Being able to see that they were so relaxed and comfortable with our presence is an absolute joy (one even fell asleep just below us!). I can't recommend this trip enough - a day of wild and untouched nature, peace and adventure! I'm still smiling! 😊

Jude Omar

What a fantastic trip. Lee and Steve were so friendly, kind and good humoured as well as keeping us supplied with hot drinks. Lundy was amazingly beautiful in the sunshine and the experience of swimming with the seals was so memorable. Thank you so much Lundy Diving. 

Kerri Lee

Had a wonderful time and boat crew were very hospitable.  Would have only changed the length of time we were on Lundy Island, would have preferred more time swimming with the seals and less time on the Island especially when the shop was closed and the Taverna had stopped serving food before we got there.  Still it was a brilliant day, super boat crew, lovely seals and fab boat ride!  Will be back to do it again.

Allison Bird

Absolutely the best company to go to Lundy with.  The team is so knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The  brief prior to our seal swim was exceptionally useful, especially with a 'frisky' seal in the vicinity! 
Thank you so much for a truly memorable trip. 

Cindy Covill

Another Special day with Lundy Diving . A great boat , experienced friendly crew and a wonderful swim with the seals . This is an amazing wildlife experience, such a privilege to swim with the seals in the wild totally on their terms .  Lovely to also have time ashore to explore Lundy . Totally recommend this experience. 

Hollie Wilson

Amazing day with Lundy Diving! A great boat which handled the chop well, I’m used to seeing others get sea sick on boat trips but everyone enjoyed the journey! Knowledgable crew who were very professional, they seem very well versed and the whole day went without a hitch. We had incredible interactions with the seals, Lundy Diving were responsible and gave us guidance on interacting with them and how to ensure we didn’t bother them. The seals seemed to love it and so did I! Can’t wait to return!

Jules Gill

What  fantastic day from start to finish. Staff knowledgeable, professional and friendly.   They provided important information to keep everyone safe while on board and in the sea. Looked after everyone really well.  Many thanks to the team onboard. 

Allie Priddis

What a great day! Steve and Ben led the day brilliantly - knowledgeable about the island, really helpful and friendly. Knew exactly the best place to get the best experience of swimming with the seals!  Thank you! 

Jake Fieldhouse

Absolutely incredible experience! The guides were so lovely and helpful and really made the trip memorable. We got a good amount of time to explore the island followed by a lovely dive with some very friendly seals! Absolutely 10/10 would recommend to anyone 

Elisabeth Shatwell

Lundy and swimming with seals was a fabulous experience; lovely, helpful, friendly  staff who were on hand all the time. Second trip with LD and hope to do more.

Carla Tier

Lovely day out, the guys were brilliant and very helpful and knowledgeable! Disappointed we didn’t get offered the chocolate biscuits with our cuppa but can’t have it all 😆  in all seriousness great team, well organised and we’ll be back again for sure! Thank you :) 

Debra Adams

Simply Amazing!
Communication was great. 
We had time on the island.
We had the most spectacular time snoring with the seal!
Hot chocolate, chocolates and goodies. 
The team was so accommodation and helpful.
I have done the trip twivce before but 1st time with this company- they were brilliant

Susannah Croucher

This was 2nd year of swimming with seals with Lundy Diving and was just as great 2nd time round!  Professional and knowledgeable, lovely to have time to explore the island as well as swim with the seals. Saw dolphins on the way back too.. Thank you to the crew and everyone at Lundy Diving. Next year will brave the cold and do an a full dive!

Matthew Collins

I went with my 10 year old daughter having watched it on The wild isles TV documentary. I have wanted to do something like this for years.
I can safely say my daughter and I loved it and was easily the best nature experience I gave had in the UK.
The seals were so curious when in the water and we were really able to get close. We were even luckily enough to see dolphins swimming along our boat on the way back. Truly a great experience and will hopefully book for us  both next year.  Piece of advice is a thick wetsuit, 5. 4 ideal. 

Sammie Simpson

The third time this season! Yes, this ‘experience’ is addictive. Seriously addictive! Gemma and the team are fountains of knowledge, knowing the best places to snorkel and enjoy all that Lundy has to offer.  I will be rebooking, as each time there is always something new to share. I loved it! 

Jacqueline Hackett

Absolutely brilliant experience with kind, knowledgeable and supportive crew. An unforgettable day, I will definitely be back!

Claire Snow

A great day out swimming with the seals at Lundy, Gemma and her team were lovely we had a brilliant day and I would highly recommend it!!

Hannah Harrison

The trip was INCREDIBLE! One of the best experiences and I have been telling everyone I know about it. The boat was clean and the staff were so amazing, caring, knowledgeable and passionate about the seals and Lundy. 

Don’t think twice - just book it! You won’t regret it :)

Wendy Stevens

From start to finish an amazing day.
Wonderful to support a family business. That they are also passionate about.
. Informative, responsible. And absolutely amazing hosts.
A day to remember.
Would highly recommend.


Claire  Rodger 

What an incredible experience! From meeting at the quay to disembarking the boat the team were incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I felt that we were in very safe hands. Lundy is a beautiful place to explore, plenty of nature to see and amazing views. Swimming with the seals was an unforgettable experience, I can’t wait to do it again. I have been smiling ever since. Overall I would highly recommend. 

Debs Crowther

What a fabulous day.  There was a friendly greeting and chat at the quayside before we made our way to the boat which had plenty of space and we later discovered was very fast.  Our captain and crew were welcoming and obviously knew what they were doing.  Loved the time spent on Lundy but the definite highlight of the trip was the swim with seals.  Captain Craig found exactly the right bay, gave us plenty of advice on how to get the most from the experience and lowered us down on the dive lift.  The seals were playful and inquisitive and we all had lots of interaction.  The hot drink between swims was just what we needed.  We’ll be bringing friends back with us next year

RACHEL COSSEY

Absolutely fabulous trip.  The second time I have been and I intend to make it a yearly pilgrimage!  The island is so beautiful.  Gemma and her crew are fabulous - friendly and helpful and full of information.  Their passion shines through!  Thank you for another wonderful day.

Alison Tigg

The perfect day! The crew were super friendly and knowledgeable, the boat was comfortable and we were blessed with calm sunny weather in Sept! The trip was a great mix of time on the island and time with the seals, who were numerous and curious. Such a fantastic experience! 

Elizabeth Fleming

A fantastic day out. All the team were so helpful. It was a brilliant trip and we hope to come back before too long. 

Lauren Walton

Wonderful day. Friendly staff very knowledgeable 

Jenna Manley

Worth every penny!! This trip truly was fantastic from start to finish. Me and my partner decided to book with Lundy Diving after hearing great reviews, and we weren't dissapointed. The skippers ( who's names has escaped me) were brilliant, really friendly and informative. They also made a mean hot chocolate for after swimming! The boat ride over to Lundy is a little lengthy but the drive was good and we were lucky with the weather, there's also a toilet on board thankfully. The afternoon worth of snorkeling the coastline was so so good, both skippers were on hand at any minute if needed. They kept a great eye on us all whilst in the water, and helped to point us in the direction of the seals. This truly was an all round lovely experience, made perfect by Lundy Diving. So thank you guys, you really smashed it in every aspect! 

Helen Stephen 

I had a fantastic day with the Lundy diving team for the seal swim - already trying to figure out dates to make it back next year!

Rachel Badman

I booked this as a solo trip and found the Lundy Diving team (and other swimmers) friendly and welcoming. The team made sure everyone was aware of the seal code of conduct and showed care and respect to the seals. The swimming  itself was incredible - the team had made sure we stopped in a bay with lots of seals about and it felt like there was a seal everytime I turned around!
Lundy island was stunning but make sure you bring your walking shoes!
Will definitely be back

Graham Bostridge

Annette Hamer

Swim with seals
Amazing trip, communication was great, we were met at the quayside by very friendly staff, the boat crew were lovely and appeared to enjoy the trip, “it’s behind you” was the phrase of the day.
We were grateful for a hot drink when we eventually were persuaded to leave the seals and jump back on the boat.
Highly recommended.

Edward Beech

We had an amazing time on the swim with seals tour. Great instructions before and during the day from Carl & Sam and then being able to share the seals natural environment with them was incredible. We will definitely be visiting again! Thank you

Bridget Trefgarne

Amazing trip run by enthusiastic and professional crew.  Thank you for making it interesting, fun and safe.  Will be booking another one.

Raphaelle Finn

Amazing day out! The team was super caring and knowledgeable, and a real love to share their experience and love for nature, the sea and the seals! We would do it again! 

Laura Oliver

Such an amazing day with my swim ladies and the seals!!! Adventure, breathtaking nature and wonderful memories made interacting with the seals.  Filled our cups. Worth every penny! 

Arron Kitching

Great trip, all as described. 4 stars as always room for improvement but nothing bad to say 

Jay Perry

Fantastic experience, knowledgable and enthusiastic guides and all around fun trip. 

Jacqueline Mann

Jane Cooper

I had a great day 24th July 2025  with Lundy Divers taking me out to Lundy Island.  First a chance to walk around the island, and then snorkeling with seals.  A very professional and helpful outfit, and a very nice group of people on the boat.  I would thoroughly recommend this trip with Lundy Divers .

Megan Osmond

Such a lovely family business. Ben and his crew were amazing and took great care of us, hope to be back in a few weeks! 

Justine  Ledwith

Jon Westmore

Have just woken up in my B&B after yesterday’s trip to swim with the seals at Lundy Island and I’m still buzzing with excitement.
Every minute of this experience has been 100% from booking the trip to asking the lovely Gemma so many questions on the phone leading up to the trip!
Everything about Lundy diving is professional and efficient. I’m not really a boat person and the crew that day looked after me fantastically.
I can’t praise Lundy diving enough and I will definitely be back to go with them again! The seals were so inquisitive and playful, an unbelievable experience for sure!
Thank you to everyone at Lundy Diving.

claire May

Unforgettable Snorkelling Adventure at Lundy!
Our trip to Lundy was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We started the day by exploring the island — a beautiful, peaceful place with stunning views and plenty of wildlife. Then came the real highlight: snorkelling with the seals!

The seals were incredibly playful and curious, often swimming right up to us. It was a magical experience to be in the water with such amazing creatures in their natural habitat.

The crew were brilliant — friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made everyone feel at ease, gave great guidance, and were always ready to help. A special mention for the hot drinks they had waiting for us after the snorkel — a small but very thoughtful touch that made a big difference.

All in all, it was a memorable day of adventure, nature, and great company. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a unique UK wildlife experience!

Laura Blake 

Brilliant day out. The  trip was really well organised and timed . The team were friendly , helpful and knowledgeable. We were lucky - sun shining and a smooth sea. We saw dolphins as well as seals which made the day extra special. The seal swim was chilly - I would get a wetsuit if I was doing it again. The seals were curious and swam close to us.  Definitely do this trip! Wonderful team, wonderful experience. 

Nina Spick

Even though it was slightly cold and I get seasickness, the trip and staff were great! I would recommend bringing a wetsuit though so you can spend longer with the seals!! 

Gemma Baker

Everyone running the trip is ruddy lovely, knowledgable, helpful and really friendly. Lundy Island is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to, I wish I’d stayed a day or two. Be sure to bring warm clothing for after your swim, a camera and a sense of humour. Lovely day, Thanks xx 

Finian Vogel

Emily Britton

Could not recommend enough, will definitely be booking for next year. You can tell the team really care for the welfare of the seals, the briefings are excellent, the local knowledge superb. We were incredibly lucky to even see dolphins from the minute we left the harbour which the team slowed down and allowed us to watch. The crew are friendly and relaxed and we never felt rushed to finish our swim, also really appreciated a cup of tea after. The stop on Lundy island was lovely, we even saw a little seal bobbing on the shore line and watched him for ages from the rocks, it's was incredibly peaceful. Also recommend the stunning view from the lighthouse by the pub. Thank you for an unforgettable day! 

James Bunyard

What an amazing day! The diving and visit to the island was lovely. The crew were super friendly and helpful and let us enjoy the day.  We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and the weather was great too!

Amanda Dodge

Highly recommend if you want to snorkel in the UK to see seals swimming around you. Parked easily at the harbour at 8am. Boat left promptly, not overcrowded, friendly crew that kept an eye on us the whole time anyone was in the water. The lift means you can be lowered in (great for us contact lens wearers) and don’t have to attempt to haul yourself back onboard. We saw about 6 seals swimming near us, blowing bubbles, turning upside down -seeing them in the water is something we will never forget. We were glad we wore wetsuits to keep us a bit warmer, it is cold when you first get in! We were also lucky to see 2 dolphins within minutes of leaving Ilfracombe harbour, amazing! Seems to be a family/local run business. 😊  We’ll definitely be back to do it again. The ladder on and off Lundy Island was a bit more ‘exciting’ than I’d anticipated but the crew look after you. The pub on Lundy did a nice lunch at a reasonable price, friendly staff.

Adrian  Barton 

Great trip. Fast clean boat, knowledgeable crew who went out their way to endure we found seal. Highly recommended. 

Katy Christian

Team was good and friendly, made sure we had the best time with the conditions, allowing us to have a second swim once the wind died down. Great experience, will definitely go again. Also, Seals are cool! 

Sheila Roles

We had a fantastic day out with Lundy dive.
The team of 3 staff were just lovely, they were fun and we felt safe in their hands. We had 2 stops and plenty of swimming but few seals.  So, before we set off for Ilfracombe they found a 3rd bay, this time  with seals and gave us an opportunity to go back in  the water and swim with them……this was such a treat and went over and above expectation!  Wonderful day and thank you so much !  Sheila

Sophie Cooper

Incredible trip with Lundy Diving! Crew were fantastic and ensured we were all satisfied! Thank you! 

Megan Lili Williams

This was a fantastic trip. Skipper Ben and Rob were amazing. Very helpful and entertaining. We loved the hot chocolate and biscuits on the boat after our dive. It was very customer led which was great meaning we got more time swimming which was perfect for our group. Would definitely recommend and will be coming again for sure. Thank you ❤️

Karen Scrase

A magical experience, will bring all of my family next season! 

Oliver Allen

Has the most amazing experience. Tom & Rob were great! Learnt loads and swam with lots of seals. Hot chocolate was a nice bonus!

Vicky Bodman

The trip was amazing!  We were briefed fully on what was going to happen that day. The crew looked after us. Lundy island is a must visit and you need to have a drink in the tavern. Back on to the boat the crew took us to an area where it looked like there might be a couple of seals. We got in the water and swam with the seals.  There must have been about 20 seals in total! The crew gave us a hot chocolate when we got out the water to help warm us up. It was a fabulous experience and one I would recommend! Oh, and we saw dolphins on our way to Lundy Island!

Louise Small

We had a fabulous time swimming 🏊‍♀️ with seals 🦭 The Lundy history lesson  we were given was great lots of information 📖. Thanks for the tip the fish and chips were amazing. Very happy customer, highly recommend. 😊

Carl Jacob

A great trip and a great experience. 
Crew were knowledgeable and friendly and the seals seemed to be put first which is how it should be. Rough seas there and back which is all part of the fun. Top notch trip. 


Zoe Chiu

My friend and I had the most wonderfully memorable time! The seal was amazing – so friendly and even came right up to greet us. Such a magical experience that I’ll never forget!

Gemma Head

Absolutely brilliant experience. Crew were excellent…  our daughter was nervous but they made her feel safe and she thoroughly enjoyed every moment as did we! A really special day we’ll never forget and would highly recommend! 

Adam  Simpson 

Loved every minute of it. Only thing I would say is when we went to shore would have been nice to have abit more detail of what was happening. If I knew we couldn’t get on and off the boat freely then I would have took my snorkel stuff and swam around there. 

Georgina  Babbage 

A fabulous day out on the boat and swim, Ben was fantastic, engaging and spoke in length about the seals, can't wait to re book and swim again 

Anjali Neelakantan

We had heard about this from friends and family and were so excited. We were a little disappointed. We expected drinking water to be included for an 8 hour trip. However we loved the hot chocolate after swimming. 
Also for the price, we expected wetsuits flippers and snorkels to be included. This should be made more clear in the information pack that we should bring our own wetsuits. 
The seals were great but I think we unfortunately caught them on a very quiet day so were not as interactive as we hoped. The staff were friendly. 

Janet  Smith 

Thanks to Ben and Rob for a wonderful trip to Lundy out of Ilfracombe. The passage was exhilarating, the boat ship shape, the island truly majestic, the seals their usual curious and playful selves, the tea hot and very welcome and the banter top notch. I particularly enjoyed Ben's demonstration of how seals mate. It was one of the many highlights. Truly, thank you. We'll be back 👌 

Sharon Gould

Experience is fantastic and as for Lundy Diving they are fabulous very knowledgeable and friendly and in the words of Tina Turner Simply the best better than all the rest comes to mind I would recommend them for your Lundy seal trip every time .

Katie Hopkins

Such a lovely trip, lovely hosts & really fun experience seeing the seals and Lundy island 

Daniel Hinks

What a fantastic day. A long day, but fantastic.

The staff were great, extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. 

Regarding the layout of the day, it was slightly unfortunate that due to the weather we had to hold off the swim till the afternoon, meaning 3 hours on the island, which is lovely. But the island pub is closed for foot from 10am-12pm, making it a tight squeeze to be back on the boat for 1pm. 

Because of the weather it meant that a majority of the seals were digesting their food whilst swimming in the afternoon, meaning a limited interaction. I would say go into the swim with a lower expectation of “swimming with seals” and more swimming in the vicinity of. We were still extremely happy with the experience. They are wild animals after all. 

Got drinks and chocolate when boarding the boat post swim was exactly what was needed. 

Thank you Lundy team 🤘🏻

Melanie  Carter 

Wonderful weekend in beautiful Lundy - saw and interacted with seals in an unforgivable way. Well organised and good fun! Thanks Tom and Oyster diving. Will be back! 

Peter Fowler

Absolutely amazing day the guys on the boat were so helpful and nothing was to much trouble and the seals were definitely the stars of the show will definitely be back next year to experience the day again totally 5* and highly recommend if you love the water and nature book now before you miss out on one of the best days out I have ever done 

Erica Visintin

The experience was amazing! Great staff and great seals :)

Polly Jackson

What a day! Such a lovely crew, massive comfortable boat and the seals were just AMAZING. Lundy Island, what a place!

Pamela Griffiths

Amazing day, crew were knowledgeable and helpful 5 stars all the way

Great day, good mix of time on Lundy and swimming with the seals, crew were fab thank you 

Frank Mountain

Wonderful experience visiting Lundy and swimming with the seals for my wife's birthday. Really nice team made the day all the more pleasant. Thank you 🙏 😊 

nicki meharg

Great day out, well briefed on boat, well organised and well taken care of. 

Sian Lane

What a fantastic day!! Great trip to a quiet bay of Lundy, good briefing and off we went into the sea. A couple of hours on Lundy afterwards gave a good taster of the terrain, the pub food (recommended) and the view from the top of the lighthouse (worth the climb). I'll be back to experience both again with friends next year. 

Benjamin James

Bought as a surprise for my girlfriend's birthday, what an incredible experience, we both absolutely loved it. Easy to book and reasonable price. The two crew we had on the boat were extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and the warm drinks when getting out of the water were gratefully received! The seals are so playful and inquisitive, and Lundy Island is beautiful to explore, highly recommend!

Matthew Holmes

Swim with seals trip runs from mid July onwards 

Swimming with seals at Lundy Island can be a unique and exhilarating experience for several reasons.

Firstly, Lundy Island is home to a large population of Atlantic grey seals, making it an ideal location to observe and interact with these fascinating marine creatures. The seals on Lundy Island are known for their inquisitive and playful nature, and swimming with them allows you to witness their graceful movements and observe their natural behaviour in their own environment.

Furthermore, Lundy Island's seal population is protected under the Conservation of Seals Act 1970, which has allowed their numbers to grow significantly. This protection ensures the preservation of the seal colony and contributes to the long-term sustainability of the species.

Swimming with seals at Lundy Island can therefore offer a thrilling and educational experience as you connect with these incredible marine animals in their natural habitat.

This trip has an animal behaviourist Polly Frier onboard who will be talking you through the diverse marine life at Lundy Island and able to answer more questions  about seals and engage in talks with people. She also worked with the seal sanctuary in Cornwall and has a deep love for the ocean. 

Follow her on Instagram pollyinparadise 

 We are excited to welcome Alice Cimino onboard

Absolutely incredible ,  so much better than we were expecting. We couldn’t believe that there are only 11 people on the trips it was amazing thank you 

Swim with seals,  with animal behaviourist Polly Frier 

Kathryn Iyer

We had the most incredible day with Lundy Diving and swimming with the seals. We’ll be recommending it to everyone! 

Vivian Lau

It was such an unforgettable experience to be with Lundy Diving for a day trip to Lundy Island, plus an hour to swim with these lovely and curious sea kittens!
I am glad to have picked a date when Polly Frier, the super knowledgeable animal behaviourist was onboard and taught us everything about these wonderful animals!
I am definitely coming back for another swim or a proper scuba dive in the future.

Absolutely brilliant day out - Lundy Diving are the loveliest people, highly professional, welcoming, kind and ethical.  I had a great day with them, swimming with the seals, visiting Lundy and seeing the magical puffins!  Polly was an added bonus, she was very knowledgeable  and it was great to hear her experiences with these amazing creatures.  Can't wait to go back!

Mimi Marlow

This was my 3rd time on this trip, I try to do it every year because it is just so fabulous and this time didn’t disappoint.
The crew are so lovely and friendly with lots of local knowledge. Polly the animal behaviourist joined us  from #pollyinparadise  which was brilliant.
Lundy is a gorgeous rugged Island with a lovely Pub and Church.
Swimming with the seals is magical and to top it off we were met with a pod of Common Dolphins on the way home so we slowed down and they played around the boat for 10 minutes, that was really the cherry on the cake of an unforgettable day.
We are already planning next years trip.

We LOVE Lundy Diving trips! Booked a swim day trip with my 2 x mum girlfriends last year and we loved it so much we booked again this summer! I think it may well now be an annual pilgrimage. Both times we booked our families a camping trip for a long weekend- 2nd day day trip to Lundy Island while the dads have the kids. Whole day on and by the water, exploring peaceful Lundy and the most incredible encounters with seals! We brought the oldest children this year- they loved it just as much as us. Book the trip- make the memories!

Grace Kimber

Loved this trip. It’s been on my things to do in the UK for ages. Lundy island is absolutely stunning and you get a couple hours to wonder around before we headed into the sea with the seals. Crewe were amazing and made sure that we found the right spot to see the seals. Definitely recommend
