What a day for a rockpool safari!

Sea hares galore, including their eggs. A candy-striped flatworm, 4 huge common spider crabs, arctic cowrie, spiny star and so much more! It was unbelievable out there today.

Sea you soon 🌊

Yesterday was our first rockpool safari of the season and I have to say, the bar has been set pretty high!!!

The energy of the group was incredible, what a gorgeous bunch of people we had out with us and the species list was pretty awesome.

Highlights included; arctic cowries, candy-striped flatworm, orange-clubbed sea slug, a grey sea slug laying eggs (first time seeing this), long-legged spider crab, velvet-swimming crab and so much more.

We are so excited for the rest of the season 💙

Happy Sunday! I hope you’ve all had a beautiful weekend!

We are so excited for our first safari of 2026 this Good Friday.

We did some rockpooling last week and Orkney came across this rock that had not one, not two, but three Arctic cowries and a live wentletrap!!

Can you spot them all?

Today is one of the lowest tides of the year and we cannot wait to get out in the sunshine and see what we can find!

Orkney found this beautiful common spider crab a couple of weeks ago. It was missing a claw, but fortunately will grow it back.

We still have some spaces over the Easter weekend if you want to join us 🌊

Who has managed to spot one of these guys when out on our rockpool safari?

The much loved cowrie- Arctic cowrie to be precise. One of two species we find around the islands. Arctic cowries are smaller than spotted cowries and are this beautiful pale pink colour.

Their empty shells are sought after and people love to collect them, but it’s always much more exciting to find one alive, normally hanging under a rock feeding on sea sq**rt.

We went out rockpooling yesterday in the wind and drizzle but it was such a great session- we found so many incredible things including this mesmerising blue-rayed limpet.

These limpets are tiny and you really have to search for them, normally found on kelp fronds as that’s their favourite thing to eat 💙

Have you seen them before?

We have had a flurry of bookings this week and we can’t thank you enough. We are dreaming of warmer days in the rockpools finding the wonderful creatures that live amongst them.

Our summer holiday dates are booking up quickly and they are always the first dates to sell out, so if you’ve been thinking about booking I’d do it sooner rather than later.

Sea you soon 🌊

Thank you all for your lovely bookings for next year’s rockpool safaris, we are so excited to meet lots of lovely new people and see familiar faces again who come out with us every year - we really appreciate you all.

Each booking is supporting our small family business, every time a new booking comes through I do happy dance. Thank you for being so amazing and letting us make a living by doing something we all love and are passionate about 🩵
