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 :)

Nov. 7, 2017: I couldn't have been more satisfied. Dale's knowledge and passion for the history is…read moreevident and contagious. He obviously loves people and adjusts his tour to those he has with him. My friend and I were the only two that day and it was so special. His tour is more inclusive than just the beaches which adds more depth and perspective. We went for the American tour during Veterans Day week which made it all the more moving. I would go back for the British/Canadian tour if possible. If you love history or want to know more on a personal level, take Dale Booths tour. You won't be disappointed.

His knowledge is incredible but he is also a wonderful story teller- able to explain detailed military strategy while also reminding us of the human element. We were also well ahead of the crowds at every stop. Worth every penny. I hope we can come back and do some of his other tours. Debbie made the planning and arranging super-easy.

Stayed at the Trumble chateau 3 nights with great food. Ben Trumble is a real student of D-day and WWII. We visited sites where he showed us pictures of GIs taken there on D-day. You can see the corresponding landmarks today and truly stand in the footsteps of heroes. Finally a visit to the cemetery where we saw the graves of several of the soldiers whose exploits we had been following. I can not imagine a better tour with anyone more knowledgable than Ben. Staying in the restored chateau with great modern accommodations and food just topped it off. 2014 will be the 70th anniversary of D-day and the last time any of the veterans will still be around for a 10-year anniversary. It should be a wonderful and solemn experience. You might actually meet a D-day vet. Ken Marsh
