This is well worth the visit.Plenty of waterproof jackets and trousers to wear over your clothes.(Not needed as we didn't get that wet).Rachel on the desk was really nice and helpful. Our skipper/tour guide Murray was brilliant.Very knowledgeable.I cannot recommend this rib ride enough.An excellent way of having a speedy tour of the Menai straight and it gets your blood pumping a bit!We will be back one day to go on the round trip of Anglesey.What a place.

We had a fantastic time, added bonus was that a heron flew along side us as we travelled down the Menai Strait. Jez, our guide, was superb - thank you for a spectacular journey in the wind, rain and clearer skies! A thrilling but safe experience, Jez was full of interesting knowledge. An activity to remember for a long time to come!

What a fantastic experience the RibRide on the Menai Straits is. We spent an hour on the water with our guide and ‘pilot’ Tom who was very knowledgeable, informative and courteous. This is more than just an adrenaline fuelled boat trip. This is the perfect way to learn about the straits and the architecture around it. Fabulous day out and recommended for anyone looking for an informative, exciting way to sea and learn about the area. Highly recommended 10/10. 👍🏼.

Was a brilliant experience, shame that the weather decided to rain on us but because of that Marcus used the time wisely to show us different things along the river that was more sheltered. Happy we finally saw Puffins! Thank you.
