This was a fantastic trip to see the seals. The crew were very friendly, giving information and answering questions, and gave us time to enjoy seeing these beautiful creatures come up to the sandbank for their afternoon nap. Would really recommend going out with this company,.

Happy to recommend, we had a great afternoon. Bear in mind where you collect your tickets from and where the boats depart is not the same location! But a trip into Blakeney village is rewarding even to have an ice-cream when you pick up your tickets. We recommend parking (for free) at the village hall and take a short walk into the village. After a short drive to Morston it was easy enough to find where we needed to be to join the trip. Our crew were chatty and entertaining, keeping us informed of the history of Blakeney Point and information about the seals. We were lucky enough to see seals on the beach and hunting at sea, there's some great photo opportunities if you're quick as seals don't pop their heads up for long! A good camera will reward you with some great snaps. We went in August but would love to go back in the spring when there are some seal pups about.

We was lucky enough to get on the 2.15 trip to see the seals with Bishops. Our boat was manned by Amar and Pete who were both great at answering our questions and very talkative, even advising us on a good pub for a luscious meal. I would absolutely recommend this company. Thankyou for helping us create great memories :-) 10/10

Having visited Norfolk for over ten years, I decided to finally go on a seal boat trip with my Partner.While the weather was very wet, the experience was amazing, we got right close to seals in the water on the way out of the quay and once we got to the point we had a lovely view of the seals.I was impressed with how the Bishops Boats staff kept distance from the seals as not to disturb them, but still gave us a great view.Would recommend to anyone wanting to get a closer look at seals or generally see some of the wildlife of Norfolk (some great bird watching action too!)Well worth the £20.

Amazing trip and great value for money: fantastic to see so many seals. Guy was great who sold the tickets but sadly the guys on the boat were not welcoming or very personable. Would still recommend as its a great 1-hour trip and there are lots of companies offering this trip.

We visited the seals in August (sorry for late review!) and felt lucky to have chosen Bishops Boats. Spacious wide open boat with a clear views all around, seemed new and really steady! Great guides, obviously a family team, knowledgeable, respectful and gave an air of calm and tranquility to a wonderful evening trip. We arrived at the seals first and so had time to watch them in peace before the other boats arrived (one swerved in beside us with its guide on his megaphone). It was the best experience of our holiday. We hope to go again when there are more seals and the pups are there (Oct-Jan, I think). Will definitively use Bishops Boats next time. Thanks for such a memorable experience!p.s. take a hooded rain mac, just in case of the odd stray wave. :)

Took partner as a surprise. She was like a young child. Seeing all the seals in their own environment is a must. Good value. Nice trip. Staff were very knowledgeable. She wants to do a December trip if the weather is good.
