For the current season we are not running this service. Please visit our sister website Marine Tours for details of our (3) marine tours including the All Day Tour which includes a 3 hrs. landing on the Great Blasket Island.
We take time to actively look for and spot (common) dolphins; (Minke) whales; basking shark ( April / May); seals and sea birds along the way, and stop for a while if / when we encounter marine wildlife in Dingle Bay and the Blaskets.
We observe all the best environmental practices as regards:
“Leave no trace” – This applies to both our customers and ourselves
No rubbish discarded, all rubbish is recycled, from plastic water bottles to used engine oil and filters
We have a company signed environmental policy
Holding tank on board for on shore sewerage disposal.
Absolutely no rubbish overboard (or customers go with it!).
Our customers can be satisfied that we / they leave as small a footprint as possible due to low emissions; efficient and well maintained engines with low fuel consumption and maximum efficiency at cruise speed (10 kts.)
We pay all our team a living wage.
