As the sun starts to dip towards the horizon, the wildlife activity on the Cornish Coast really starts to pick up. Seals can often be spotted sunbathing on rocks, while dolphins and porpoises are often more active and playful at this time of day. Keep your eyes peeled and you may even see breaching bluefin tuna.

But it’s not just the wildlife that makes boat trips during the golden hour so special. The views are simply breathtaking. The rugged coastline is bathed in a warm glow, highlighting the stunning rock formations, hidden coves, and sandy beaches that make the Cornish Coast so iconic. And as the sun begins to set, the sky comes alive with an explosion of oranges and pinks, casting a magical spell over the landscape.

But perhaps the best thing about boat trips during the golden hour is the sense of calm and tranquillity that comes with it. There’s something truly serene about being out on the water at this time of day, surrounded by nothing but the sound of the waves and the gentle hum of the boat’s engine.

So if you’re looking for a truly magical way to experience the Cornish Coast, book yourself a boat trip during the golden hour. You won’t regret it.
