The Experience
The Dolphin and Whale Watching for Two in Ireland invites you to experience the best of West Cork’s natural beauty from the water.
Departing from Baltimore Harbour, this shared four-hour tour is guided by an expert crew who share their knowledge of the marine wildlife and history of the area.
You’ll sail aboard a modern, twin-engine catamaran designed for whale and dolphin watching, offering stability and panoramic visibility. Throughout the trip, you may encounter minke, fin or humpback whales, as well as common and bottlenose dolphins, seals and an array of seabirds. Each voyage offers something new depending on the time of year and sea conditions.
Midway through the journey, there’s often a short stop at Cape Clear Island, Ireland’s most southerly inhabited community, where passengers can enjoy refreshments before returning along the scenic coastline.
Includes:
- Four-hour shared whale and dolphin watching trip for two people
- Guided commentary from the experienced crew
- Seasonal stop at Cape Clear Island (weather dependent)
- Toilet, seating and safety equipment on board
It’s an unforgettable way for two people to enjoy Ireland’s coastal wildlife and sea views!
