Swimming with seals at Lundy Island can be a unique and exhilarating experience for several reasons.
Firstly, Lundy Island is home to a large population of Atlantic grey seals, making it an ideal location to observe and interact with these fascinating marine creatures. The seals on Lundy Island are known for their inquisitive and playful nature, and swimming with them allows you to witness their graceful movements and observe their natural behaviour in their own environment.
Furthermore, Lundy Island's seal population is protected under the Conservation of Seals Act 1970, which has allowed their numbers to grow significantly. This protection ensures the preservation of the seal colony and contributes to the long-term sustainability of the species.
Swimming with seals at Lundy Island can therefore offer a thrilling and educational experience as you connect with these incredible marine animals in their natural habitat.
This trip has an animal behaviourist Polly Frier onboard who will be talking you through the diverse marine life at Lundy Island and able to answer more questions about seals and engage in talks with people. She also worked with the seal sanctuary in Cornwall and has a deep love for the ocean.

We are excited to welcome Alice Cimino onboard

Amazing! Loved every minute of this trip. Have been before with the LD team and will continue to go time and time again. Polly was great and a fab addition to the team.

Loved this trip. It’s been on my things to do in the UK for ages. Lundy island is absolutely stunning and you get a couple hours to wonder around before we headed into the sea with the seals. Crewe were amazing and made sure that we found the right spot to see the seals. Definitely recommend

We LOVE Lundy Diving trips! Booked a swim day trip with my 2 x mum girlfriends last year and we loved it so much we booked again this summer! I think it may well now be an annual pilgrimage. Both times we booked our families a camping trip for a long weekend- 2nd day day trip to Lundy Island while the dads have the kids. Whole day on and by the water, exploring peaceful Lundy and the most incredible encounters with seals! We brought the oldest children this year- they loved it just as much as us. Book the trip- make the memories!

This was my 3rd time on this trip, I try to do it every year because it is just so fabulous and this time didn’t disappoint. The crew are so lovely and friendly with lots of local knowledge. Polly the animal behaviourist joined us from #pollyinparadise which was brilliant. Lundy is a gorgeous rugged Island with a lovely Pub and Church. Swimming with the seals is magical and to top it off we were met with a pod of Common Dolphins on the way home so we slowed down and they played around the boat for 10 minutes, that was really the cherry on the cake of an unforgettable day. We are already planning next years trip.
