We are excited to get back on the water and looking forward to a more normal season in 2021

N.B. All current voucher expiry dates have been extended until September 2021.

Guided, interactive boat trips exploring the beautiful Gower coast - the best way to experience amazing sea life and enjoy unique views of the stunning Gower peninsula.

Here at Gower Coast Adventures we share a love for the Gower coastline, it's wildlife, and it's history.

With 15 years experience of navigating these waters, we know every cave, cove and bay, along with their intriguing stories.
We know where the seals will be snoozing, the porpoises feeding, and the sea birds nesting.

Our passion for our local marine species and habitats brings with it a detailed knowledge of Gower's wildlife from where to look for dolphins, to which cliffs to scan for perching peregrines, and also a deep desire to protect it.

On every trip we combine sensitive wildlife observation with the thrill of feeling the sea breeze on your face as we glide across the water, and hope to convey our enthusiasm for our peninsula home with all our passengers.

Come and join us on an unforgettable adventure!

Puffins

Here on the Gower coast

Puffins on the water near Worms Head, Gower

So we appreciate the puffins when we do see them, and we love seeing the other sea birds that do nest here on Worms Head every year.

As Worms Head is a tidal island, not a true island, it is unlikely that puffins will ever nest here. They nest underground in burrows. As Worms Head is connected to the mainland during low tide, there would be potential for land predators to visit the island and eat any eggs they would find in puffin burrows.

Puffins never land here at Worms Head, we only ever see them on the water or flying past.

The nearest puffin colonies to us are Lundy Island off the coast of north Devon, and Skomer Island in Pembrokeshire. So it is likely that these puffins have ventured over from one of these islands.

Here you can see the size difference between a small guillemot and an even smaller puffin

We see puffins here on the Gower coast every year, though in very small numbers.

Being small (and often comical) seabirds with beautifully coloured beaks, it is a joy to watch them.

Today was the first day we’ve seen puffins at Worms Head this year. There were about 5 of them sitting on the water with the other auks- the guillemots and razorbills.
