🌊 Some lovely weather is forecast for next week! ☀️

September has certainly been a windy one, so we haven’t managed as many boat trips as we’d have liked. But the forecast is looking much more promising, and we’re really looking forward to getting back out on the water in some calmer conditions. 🐬

We currently have spaces available at 1:30pm on Tuesday and Wednesday.

If you’ve been waiting for a calm day to get out on the coast, this could be the perfect opportunity! 🌊

Book your trip and come and see the beautiful South Gower coast from the water. 🐬

What better way to celebrate being half way to the weekend than with a midweek adventure around the Gower coast! 🌊

We’ve had so much fun on the water today, joined but gannets, guillemots, cormorants and sandwich terns! We seen so many sleepy seals snoozing away 🦭 and even had a visit from the elusive harbour porpoise!!

Huge thank you to everyone who joined us out on the water today! We hope you had a blast 🚤

🌊 Help us find the next skipper of Gower Coast Adventures! 🚤

After more than 20 years of running trips along the stunning Gower coastline, the time has come for Dave to hand over the helm of Gower Coast Adventures.

Since starting the business in 2003, Dave has welcomed thousands of visitors aboard the Sea Serpent, sharing some of the most beautiful parts of the Gower coast and introducing people to its incredible wildlife.

From seals and seabirds to dolphins and porpoises, there have been countless memorable days on the water — and many passengers have returned year after year.

As we approach the end of another season, we’re still running boat trips on Wednesdays and weekends when the weather allows, so it’s very much business as usual for now.

But we’re hoping to find the right person to take the business forward.

This really does feel like the end of an era for Dave, but we would love nothing more than to see Gower Coast Adventures continue and remain part of the Gower and Swansea Bay tourism offering for many years to come.

If you, or someone you know, has ever dreamed of running a successful coastal tourism business, working outdoors and spending your days on the water in one of Wales’ most spectacular locations, this could be a fantastic opportunity.

Please spread the word and help us find a new owner/operator to take the helm. 🌊

Not to mention so many snoozing seals 🦭 the blowhole at Worms Head was working some serious magic ✨ oh and three visits from some extremely playful common dolphins 🐬

‘Ogof’ or ‘Ogofau’(pl.) – comes from the Middle-Welsh ‘gocof’ and the Old Welsh ‘guocobauc’ meaning ‘cavernous’.

It has also been traced to the Proto-Celtic ‘uφ o-kubā’ which comes from the Proto-Indo-European ‘kew-’ which means “to bend” or “hollow-out”.

Seals take my breath away

I think it's safe to say we all did it as kids... had contests on how long we could hold our breath underwater, hoping we’d be able to outlast our friends or siblings (I always won of course). But I’ll tell you who I’d never take on in that competition… a seal.

Seals have an amazing ability to hold their breath for anywhere between 10 minutes to an hour!! Now naturally you’d think they’d take one big deep breath in before diving... well, you would be wrong. Seals take a deep breath out, compressing all the oxygen out of their lungs (this makes them less buoyant), they also slow their heart rate down to fewer than 10 beats per minute (reducing circulation, conserving energy and oxygen). Seals also have a much higher concentration of haemoglobin and myoglobin in their blood, which allows them to store much higher quantities of oxygen in their blood and muscle tissue.

So yeah, I think they’d win that contest flippers down!

What a stellar day we’ve had out on the water today!! 🌊

It has been a show stopping day for wildlife sightings! With gannets, cormorants, kittiewakes, guillemots, razorbills, Manx shearwater, fulmars and sandwich terns all spotted throughout the day.. our sensational seabirds did not disappoint! We’ve seen some seriously big barrel jellyfish on our travels 🪼 not forgetting of course our snoozing seals 🦭 and a visit from some extremely playful common dolphins 🐬

A massive thanks to each and every one of you for joining us today! We so loved meeting you all and hope you had a fabulous day 🚤

‘Cwch’ or ‘Cychod’(pl.) – is a traditional Celtic word for boat, and has Bryonthic* origins, so it bares distinct resemblances to the Cornish and Breton words for ‘Boat’.

Another glorious way to round out a fantastic week down on the Gower coast! 🌊

The wildlife were out in their troves today, and the weather most certainly didn’t disappoint! We’ve seen so many seabirds today, from gannets diving to Manx shearwaters gliding. Not to mention kittiwakes, cormorants, razorbills, guillemots, sandwich terns and an arctic skua! We’ve visited some sleepy seals 🦭 and had barrel jellyfish floating peacefully beside us 🪼 and to round out the day, an ever delightful visit from the common dolphins 🐬

A huge thanks from us to everyone who joined us today! We hope you had a wonderful adventure 🚤
