Marine Park Wildlife Tour

Wave Heading Separator

Embark on a remarkable journey through Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara, Ireland’s only Marine National Park, a pristine sanctuary where diverse marine life flourishes in its natural habitat. Your adventure begins with a serene cruise past the Valentia Island Lighthouse, a timeless beacon that guides ships along this rugged coastline. From here, your voyage continues towards the breathtaking Fogher Cliffs, towering over the Atlantic at the base of Geokaun Mountain, one of Valentia Island’s most striking landscapes.

As you sail, discover the hidden caves and serene inlets of Doulas Head, where nature has sculpted dramatic features over centuries. The skies are filled with life, from the seasonal arrival of gannets, puffins, razorbills, and kittiwakes to the elusive manx shearwaters gliding through the air. Below the surface, the waters are often graced by playful dolphins and the awe-inspiring presence of whales, creating an unforgettable wildlife experience.

Aboard the Skellig Bounty, your dedicated crew ensures a safe and enriching encounter with the Wild Atlantic, where every moment is designed to deepen your connection with the marine world. This is a rare opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the stunning beauty of Ireland’s coastline, leaving you with memories to cherish long after your time at sea.
