In the months of May to July, our Guillemot colonies return to South Devon. Returning to nest and mate, along with many other local and migrating sea birds. At the Orestone Rock, nature reserve we have fantastic opportunities to see lots of different marine wildlife out on the Rock and watching them from the comfort of our boats.
Our Wildlife Safaris are delivered by a local expert guide and a spotters guide for each boat, outlining our marine residents and visitors. With information on identification, their behaviour, routines and diet. It also outlines the wildlife watching code to protect wildlife.
The numbers of cetacean sightings in South Devon has risen dramatically over the recent years, with regular sightings in the Bay and off the headlands. We have resident pods of harbour porpoises and common dolphins and each season we are finding species of Shark and Whales are attracted to our warming waters.
Our active seal populations move around the South Devon coastline fishing and basking in the sun at their favourite haul outs.
Our rock pools are full of sea life and exploring within the infralittoral zones we are presented with a rich array of sponges, urchins, fossils and micro life. These remote beaches are inaccessible from land and untouched by the bucket and spade brigade.

Geology can be a difficult subject to harness or find interesting if you live in a city or a relatively flat area that is farmed. With a clean dissection of the earth crust, you can clearly see and start to understand Strata. Torbay is blessed with such geo-diversity that it has played an incredible part in the history of Western geology.
The incredible story of our rocks formation their journey and the discoveries found within them caused shock waves through Victorian England. The county lent its name to a geological period of time and today our bay is world famous, the English Riviera is now a Global UNESCO Geopark.
Field trips by tandems kayak are a safe way to access areas that are not easily accessed by land. This type of active adventure helps to cultivate the minds of the participant. All learning styles can be achieved as participants can see, touch, taste and feel the rocks and as part of their adventure create rock art and sculptures.
