Marine Park Wildlife Tour

Wave Heading Separator
Dates for our special marine park wildlife tour will be released throughout the season, in line with weather and sea conditions.

Embark on a remarkable shared scheduled experience through Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara, Ireland’s Marine National Park, a protected seascape where diverse marine life thrives in its natural habitat. Your voyage begins with a gentle cruise past Valentia Island Lighthouse, a familiar landmark guiding ships along this rugged coastline, before continuing towards the dramatic Fogher Cliffs, rising above the Atlantic at the base of Geokaun Mountain.

As you sail, discover the caves and inlets of Doulas Head, where the coastline has been shaped by centuries of Atlantic weather. The skies are alive with seabirds, from seasonal gannets, puffins, razorbills and kittiwakes to the graceful manx shearwaters. Below the surface, the waters are often visited by dolphins and, at times, whales, making every journey different and full of possibility.

Aboard the Skellig Bounty, your crew ensures a safe and comfortable passage as you experience this wild and beautiful stretch of coastline from the sea.

This is a special shared sailing offered on selected dates throughout the season, with each voyage planned around weather and sea conditions. Your captain will confirm timings in advance to ensure the best and safest journey possible.
