We run these swim with seals trips each year, and can't wait to return to the seals and wildlife of Lundy island for another summer!


      Perfect for: Solo females, or friends, looking to explore, swim and meet more female ocean friends as well as discover this hidden-away paradise island in the UK. Mixed trips - for males and females - are 19th June and 26th June


      Requirements: You do not need to be scuba dive certified. You should be a confident swimmer. Under 16's must be accompanied by an adult.

      Logistics

      The trip starts and ends at Ilfracombe Harbour (carpark is EX34 9EQ) you will need to arrive at 8:30am on the day of your trip.


      Trip duration is usually 8 hours depending on tide and weather. Trips are planned around the tides and with this, in mind start, times vary slightly, according to the state of the tide on the day. We leave at 09:00 and aim to arrive back around 5.


      If you are not from the local area, it may be nice to stay in Ilfracombe overnight rather than driving back after a long day on the boat - there are usually other Girls that Scuba guests that do this, so you can all have dinner together in Ilfracombe.

      You will need

      • Your own packed lunch/snacks/waterbottle Reef-safe suncream
      • Warm clothes for the boat ride
      • A set of dry clothes to change into to walk on the island - no particular shoes are necessary 
      • If you want to duck dive/free dive you will need your own weight belt with weight
      • Seasickness tablets if you get seasick
      • If you have your own gear bring along: Wetsuit, mask, snorkel, fins. A 5mm wetsuit is recommended plus a hood and gloves if you have them

      Weather Cancellation - PLEASE READ

      Please note these trips are subject to weather. The ocean can be choppy in the Bristol channel and the crossing from Ilfracombe to Lundy can sometimes be a rough ride. The captain will aim to make the final call on any weather issues 48 hours before the trip - however, this isn't always achievable due to how quickly the weather changes.  We should also get a better forecast 7 days before the trip, so aim to keep you informed via email of any potential changes in advance. If your trip is cancelled because of bad weather we will re-schedule the trip or we will offer you a full refund (please note, this is only if the whole trip is cancelled due to weather). Please keep this in mind if booking accommodation - it is best to book accommodation that doesn't require full upfront payments or allow cancellation.

      Cancellation

      Full payment is required to book. Your cancellation options - because of any reason - are:

      30 days before the trip - no refund

      31 days before the trip 50% refund

      This was my first liveaboard and first GTS trip. Any expectations that I had were quickly surpassed. The boat and the crew were the best! Lauren, our host, did an amazing job of answering all of our questions and making sure everything ran smoothly! The diving was top notch. The women on the trip were from all over the world and we had a wide range of ages but everyone meshed so well together and was so supportive! We had the best time and made amazing friendships! i can’t wait for my next GTS trip!!

      Wow! What an incredible first live aboard experience. This is my 2nd GTS trip and it did not disappoint! Amazing boat - the Omneia Soul is a beautiful ship. Boho decor and features, cute rooms, great spaces to lounge on deck, hammocks - I could not ask for more! Praise to Captain Mohamed and his crew. The mechanics, cleaning staff, deck crew, boat attendants, chef, kitchen staff, Nemo, and massage therapist Ahmed - wow! I did not want to leave. The food was amazing! A huge thanks to our dive guides Salah, Sandra, Tolba and Ahmed. I was hoping to see my first hammerhead and wow did we ever!! Great dive briefings, I always felt safe and prepared. And a big thank you to Lauren, our GTS host, who was incredibly welcoming and kind. Thanks to Maddie as well, our resident photographer, can't wait to see the shots! THANKS GTS!! Looking forward to my next trip!

      The Egypt 2024 GTS trip was my first one, and boy did it go beyond my expectations 😍!!! The women are from all different backgrounds, ages, and experiences, but we all meshed beautifully together. Never did I feel left out nor overwhelmed: we each could respectfully decide when to socialize and when to take time for ourselves to relax, and by the end of the trip it really felt like a sisterhood! And underwater, I’ve never seen such a homogenous group of divers: so respectful to the sea, and all with great diving skills as well as a willingness to continue improving. I’ve come out of this trip with friends that I wish last a lifetime, and a strong feeling of belonging to a beautiful female community. Reallly looking forward to the Maldives 2025 trip, and hoping some of my fellow Egypt sisters join me, too! 😍🫶🏽🥰 -Roxy
