Had the most wonderful trip with Jersey Sea Safaris out to Les Ecrehous, a small cluster of islands…read morelocated between Jersey and the Normandy coastline. Although at first I was sceptical that the 12 guests plus two staff members would fit on the tiny rib boat but we somehow all crammed on, with myself and my family quickly claiming the front seats as we knew that would be the wildest place to sit! The staff were friendly and explained the health and safety clearly, providing us all with waterproof coats and life jackets (a life saver, because of course us tourists hadn't dressed appropriately!). Before we knew it we were off, clinging on for dear life as we flew over the waves at high speed! The front seats were exhilarating with just the right level of bounce, whilst the back seats looked calmer (although perhaps a little soggy!). The guides slowed to point out the birds and seals on the rocks as we passed by which was amazing, but the highlight of the trip by far was the once in a lifetime view of the dolphins. We spotted them about 20m away and our guides immediately cut the engine so as not to disturb them, and we would all have been delighted to leave it there... However the best was still to come as to our amazement the pod approached our boat and proceeded to play in the water around us! They were so close that if we had leaned in we could have touched them... It was the most magical experience. Having spent so long with the dolphins there was only time for a quick dip in the sea at les ecrehous but I wouldn't have changed it for the world. The trip back was even faster and more thrilling, with our driver demonstrating his skills in the harbour as we did a series of sharp turns. Wonderful experience all round, would go for longer next time on order to explore the island more thoroughly but 5 stars for those dolphins! Even without the exceptional views of wildlife (which can't be guaranteed!) I would still thoroughly recommend a trip out with Jersey sea safaris, they do various other trips around Jersey and even go all the way to France for dinner trips, check them out for sure :)
