Lovely little trip - Very nice way to kill an hour. Our guide was warm and kind. I would recommend this. This is a good way to see the city of Dundee from a different perspective

Highlight of our Dundee visit - interesting AND exciting - The SaltDog Marine Boat Safari Adventure in Oct '23 was definitely the highlight of our Dundee visit. Ian took out out towards Tentsmuir Point to see some of the young seals before going up the River Tay, past the Larick Beacon, under the Tay Road Bridge and to the V&A before turning back Broughty Ferry. We stopped a few times along the way and our Skipper Ian patiently answered all our questions and provided lots of information and interesting facts about the area, the River Tay, the wharfs, the seals and nature reserve, about the windfarms, the light houses and the V&A museum. We (especially our kids, 10 & 13) absolutely loved the speedy ride and hitting the waves and when we stopped at the V&A you could see how we became the attraction to the people looking out of the V&A! It's really been great fun and we promised the kids that we will do this again next time we are in Dundee. Only word of advice: Wrap up warm in October; sun glasses help to keep the wind out of your eyes.

Great fun - We went out with Ian on his humber rib speed about for a nature and site seeing tour, it was great fun, we seen many grey seals up close, various sea birds and some of the local points of interest. Out pilot was very knowledgeable about the area and wild life. He answered various questions put to him from the passenger's. It was a great rush when he opened up the engines. Great fun for all ages.

Great fun from Broughty Ferry - Great hour out on the Silvery Tay, the boat was a great piece of kit with comfy seats. Headed out to Tentsmuir point which was like another world away with Seals, Eider ducks, Curlews and Cormorants then headed towards Tayport. Stopped off at the Larik lighthouse where the guide was full of information about the structure before heading to the Dundee V&A for completely different view of the structure. Heading back to Broughty Ferry taking in views of both sides of the mighty Firth of Tay.

Best luck next time. - Unfortunately , weather was not and trip was cancelled by the tour operator. Ian (Tour Operator) tried to call and left a voice message. The one good thing is you can reserve the place much ahead and payment is taken just 48 hours before the trip which is great.So, i have reserved again in July 24.

Still waiting for refund - Our trip was cancelled due to the weather. This is absolutely fine. We were contacted by the tour operator who told us our refund would be processed immediately. I waited a full week and when our money had not been returned I contacted trip advisor. I then received an email saying that they were 'considering' my refund request. 10 days after trip date now and still no refund.
