Want to see whales and dolphins off the coast of Ireland? Whale Watch Westcork offers a number of excursions departing from Baltimore City or Union Hall in County Cork. A chance to admire dolphins and sea giants up close!
Did you know? The coastal waters of south-west Ireland are a protected sanctuary for dolphins and whales! The Irish government was the first to protect its waters to ensure the survival of these marine species!
They come here to feed, and you’ll have the chance to see porpoises, baleen whales, rorquals and even humpback whales! These large marine mammals feed in Irish waters for over seven months of the year on a variety of small schooling fish, and can be seen just a few kilometers offshore.
That’s why Whale Watch Westcork tours depart from Baltimore harbor and the village of Union Hall. Admittedly, encounters with marine animals are never guaranteed, but the company knows their favourite spots inside out! Please note, however, that depending on the date of your trip, you may encounter different species:
The trips are made by speedboat and allow you to discover the habits of these mysterious animals. Your guide will introduce you to their way of life, and make you aware of the importance of preserving the environment.
