Join the Dolphin and Whale Watching in Ireland experience for an unforgettable wildlife adventure along West Cork’s stunning coastline.
Departing from Baltimore Harbour, this four-hour guided tour takes you through some of Ireland’s richest marine habitats aboard Voyager, a purpose-built catamaran designed for stability and clear visibility.
With seating for up to twelve passengers and an experienced crew, the journey offers a comfortable and informative way to observe marine life up close. Depending on the season, sightings may include minke, fin and humpback whales, as well as common, bottlenose and Risso’s dolphins. Harbour porpoises, basking sharks and grey seals are also often spotted.
Halfway through the trip, there’s usually a stop at Cape Clear Island for refreshments, giving passengers the chance to enjoy one of Ireland’s most picturesque coastal communities before continuing along the rugged West Cork shoreline.
Includes:
Voyager leaves Baltimore Harbour daily at 9.30am and 2.15pm. Baltimore Harbour is a 15 minute drive from the market town of Skibbereen. Please make sure to arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled departure.
You will need to dress warmly and bring any food or drink you may require during the tour including sunglasses and sunscreen. Where possible, the boat will try and stop at North Harbour on Cape Clear Island for a refreshment break half way through the tour.
