Ireland is one of the best places in Europe to see whales and dolphins! This incredible experience, known as Dolphin Watch Carrigaholt, can be enjoyed at Carrigaholt in County Clare, and will delight children and adults alike!
Climb aboard the Draíocht, a sturdy, spacious, safe and comfortable boat, and discover Ireland’s dolphins!
A trip of less than two hours is all it takes to discover one of Ireland’s largest known areas of resident dolphin population. Hidden beneath the waters, more than a hundred of them live there, and don’t hesitate to reveal themselves when a boat passes by.
It has to be said that the dolphin is rather playful, and likes to show off his pranks and acrobatics to anyone who will have him. On the program: jumps, games in the waves and a very close approach to the boat! There’s something for young and old to marvel at, and discover the beauty of these marine animals!
A visit to the Dolphin Watch Carrigaholt will take you to the mouth of the River Shannon, offering an impressive view of the Irish coastline, with its towering cliffs, incredible colonies of birds nesting here and there, and seals comfortably ensconced in the wilderness.
An exceptional visit, ranked among the top 10 Irish tourist attractions for marine wildlife. Don’t forget a heavy sweater and foulies: it can be cold at sea, and the weather can be changeable!
