For the early bird, our Sunrise tour is a fantastic way to see the South west coast in the most beautiful light of the day.
Bantry Bay and Glengarriff harbour have an abundance of wildlife. On the Sunrise tour, from when you leave the pontoon you will encounter firstly local sea birds, including oyster catchers, curlew, grey herons, egrets, cormorants, Swans, and several species of duck. If you are very lucky you might see the White tailed Sea Eagle flying overhead.
A mixed colony of both Atlantic Grey Seals and Common Seals can be seen, hauled out on the prominent rocks and reefs as you pass by.
Harbour Porpoise are resident all year round. These shy and elusive creatures can be seen on our morning tours, as well as Common dolphins, who are a popular sighting with visitors during trips down the bay. Groups of adults and young from 8 to 50 in a group can be seen and often bow ride along with the boat, creating a lifetime memory for anyone onboard.
Minke Whales may be seen in pairs or small feeding groups and are regular visitors to Bantry Bay. These Baleen Whales are the smallest of their kind in Irish waters.
Of course, while you are out on the water we can supply rods and tackle so you can try your hand at fishing for Mackerel, you might even get a chance to taste it. That's breakfast sorted!
Don't forget your camera!
