Ireland · WHALE WATCHING
Every trip has one free day too few. These 3 whale watching tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Cruise from Ventry Harbour aboard M.V. Blasket Princess for dolphins, whales, seals, seabirds, and Blasket Islands views. Guides including John, Vincent, and Jonathan share marine and local history. The small-group trip runs about four hours and returns to Ventry Pier.
“Blaskets islands in a sunny day, fantatisc !! Viewing dolphins was pure emotion. I took a lot of pictures”
Join skipper Gerry aboard the yellow Wave Chieftain from Baltimore’s North Pier for 3 to 4 hours at sea. Watch for dolphins, seals, minke, fin, and humpback whales, plus seasonal basking sharks and sunfish. Indoor seating, outdoor deck space, and an English-speaking guide make this a flexible wildlife outing.
“This trip was really nice. We saw dolphins, seals and a sunfish! We may go back in the future to see if we are lucky to see humpback whales! The only thing I wouldn’t recommend if you get dizzy easily as the Irish Sea can be rough sometimes.”
Set out from Ventry at 10am in a small boat limited to 12 people. Watch for dolphins, Minke whales, puffins, and seals, then spend three hours on Great Blasket Island with an OPW guide, time for the village, loop walk, beach, tea room, and toilets.
“Perfect from start to finish. The Captain and Guide are really great, Great Basket Island is a little gem to visit and we got to see whales, dolphins and others. REALLY GREAT.Auto-translated”
Pick a coast road, a castle or a counter.
