Ilfracombe Sea Safari - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

North Devon Explorers

Exploring north devon by land and by sea.

Our Sea safari combines Kayaking the beautiful coastline with rock pooling!

We will kayak to a suitable beach, arriving when the tide is out.  You will then have time to lift up rocks and look into the rock pools, seeing if you can catch a crab, a Blenny, or find the huge array of sea anenomes, plus many more sea creatures.

I will then help you to identify your findings and explain to you about how they live and survive in the Bristol Channel, before letting them go.

This is a great trip for families or anyone who has a curiosity about what is under the sea!

In addition to the paddling and rock pooling, this trip will also give you a true Devon experience…a Cream Tea on the beach!

The beach locations that we may use for this is Lynmouth beach or Lee bay (this would be determined by the weather, tides and ability of the group).  A sea safari could be combined with an additional trip, for example, kayaking to see the Grey Seals at bull point.  this would then become a full day trip.

THE PERFECT WAY TO EXPLORE!

Based in Ilfracombe harbour the Ilfracombe Princess cruises the coast to see seals, porpoises and dolphins!

Enjoy one of the most dramatic landscapes in England aboard our safe comfortable vessel the 'Ilfracombe Princess'. We have been serving Ilfracombe tourism for more then 20 years, licensed to carry 100 passengers.

Ilfracombe's original Sea Safari company operating three Humber RIBs from Ilfracombe harbour.

VISIT THE SEA SAFARI WEBSITE!

© Copyright Sea Swift - all rights reserved

We are an exciting new boat tour business based in Teignmouth that launched in April 2018. In our safe and stable ten metre Humber RIB boat, we offer unique tours that explore the beautiful South Devon coastline as never before.

Our trips provide fantastic opportunities to get up close to an abundance of marine wildlife and incredible geological formations, whilst also providing information on our fascinating local history. Tours depart and return from Teignmouth’s Fish Quay Pontoon (behind the New Quay Inn Pub on the riverside of town).

We offer different duration tours sailing daily, as well as being available for Private Charter hire. Check out the different tours we offer here and any other FAQs here.

We operate from Teignmouth, the ‘gem of South Devon’. Teignmouth harbour is a thriving fishing port full of fascinating history, being the last English town to be invaded by foreign powers.

In the town you will find plenty of things to do for the whole family; boutique shops, restaurants and cafes, the museum, art galleries and play parks, before reaching the beautiful beach and estuary with water sports activities and the ferry over to Shaldon.

You might recognise areas from the recent film ‘The Mercy’ which told the true story of Donald Crowhurst in Teignmouth in the 50s, and it is also famous for being the hometown of rock band Muse.

This area of South Devon is known for its unique red sandstone cliffs, providing a stunning coastline for our boat tours, along which you will discover historic caves, quarries and impressive rock formations such as Orestone Rock and Thatcher’s Rock.

These dramatic rock faces provide the perfect home for nesting marine birds as well as nice sun-loungers for the seals!

Our tours sail across Labrador Bay, Babbacombe and Torbay areas, where we are always on the lookout for dolphins, whales and porpoises.

Make the Move Classes and Timetable

Make the Move is North Devon Theatres' Arts Learning Programme 

Make the Move are performing arts classes, run by the North Devon Theatres, which include dance (ballet, tap, modern, jazz and contemporary), acrobatics, musical theatre and drama.

The classes run five days a week during term time and provide excellent access and development opportunities for everyone.

Click here  to download the class timetable.

Classical dance for toddlers to teens. RAD examinations available from pre-school curriculum to Grade 8. Students have had the opportunity to participate in workshops with Moscow Ballet; English National Ballet; Independent Ballet Wales; Ballet Boyz and others. No experience is necessary; all students are graded according to age and experience.

From Hair to Hairspray and GaGa to Godspell we sing pop, classics and all the great hits from stage and screen. Our group have performed in many local and professional productions including Lullaby of Broadway, Abba Mania, Dana, Move It Shake It, It's Chriiistmas and of course our seasonal pantomimes at the Queen's Theatre.

Acrobatic students have taken part in many performances and productions including the Fysical circus theatre project, Ilfracombe Musical Productions and Sea Ilfracombe celebrations.

You do not need a high level of flexibility or gymnastic skills. We are looking for reliable team members with a sense of humour and tenacious character. There is a high risk of accident and injury during these classes and projects (eg. bumps, bruises and muscle fatigue)

Make the Move drama club runs on Wednesday evenings 7pm-9pm during term time. As well as productions (which have included Caucasian Chalk Circle, Dazzle, Mr Macaroni and the Exploding Pizza Pie) the focus of the group is to develop our young people stage-craft. Through workshops and role-playing we improve skills in acting technique, technical theatre, stage management, script writing , monologue delivery, voice projection in a lively and relaxed environment. MTM Drama have recently presented an outdoor family fun day with original text developed through their own improvisations as part of North Devon Festival and have also written, created, filmed and edited a short film comedy.

Our gang have access to opportunities both within our organisation and out of it, including film work, participation in local productions and North Devon Theatres' pantomimes. There is also regular access to free/subsidised tickets to performances. You also get to hang out with some seriously potty people ... it's great fun!

Children from 3 can join one of our ISTD tap classes which run from pre-primary through to Advanced. There is even a class for adults on Tuesday evenings which is both fun and a great way to keep fit.

Modern classes run from Grade 1 suitable for 5 year old up to Grade 5. Modern classes are complemented by open jazz classes for juniors and seniors where the emphasis is on performance skills and choreography rather than technique. Those students taking an open jazz class should also take at least one class in either modern or ballet. These classes have led to performances in both professional and local shows. Students are able to take ISTD exams in both Tap and Modern.

Examinations will incur additional costs for classes, uniform hire and exam fees. For more information, please contact Carol Turner  on 01271 869216.
