About

Seacoast Safaris offers an unforgettable journey along the Menai Strait and the surrounding coast of Anglesey, combining breathtaking scenery with abundant wildlife encounters. Based in the historic town of Beaumaris, the operator runs a fleet of purpose‑built catamarans and a classic motor‑vessel, welcoming visitors to explore everything from the iconic Menai bridges and the serene Swillies to the vibrant seabird colonies of Puffin Island. With a focus on sustainability, every cruise is carbon‑neutral, and the experienced guides provide lively commentary, creating an engaging educational experience for families, birdwatchers and nature lovers alike. The cruise itineraries cater to all ages and interests. Classic 80‑minute trips start at £20.95 for adults, while the deluxe 90‑minute cruises are available for £29.95. For those seeking longer adventures, the ‘Best of Puffin Island & Menai Strait’ offers two core routes in a single, two‑hour sailing, and the half‑day “Ultimate Seacoast Safari” covers a 3½‑hour circuit of five islands. Dogs are welcome on board (subject to space), and all vessels are fitted with basic toilets. Because popularity peaks between early April and mid‑July, visitors are encouraged to book in advance, particularly for the countryside retreats. A single booking can be made online up to an hour before departure at https://www.seacoastsafaris.co.uk/Booking/, or in person at the Beaumaris Pier kiosk. Seacoast Safaris remains committed to safety, providing sea‑rating vessels, required life‑jackets, and ad‑hoc cancellation policies in case of adverse weather.
