Whether you’re planning a short family outing or a full-day expedition, this guide will help you make the most of your trip.


Choosing the Right Tour

We offer a variety of tour lengths to suit different needs:

  • 1-hour tours – Perfect for families with younger children or anyone short on time. Explore Killala Bay, spot seals, and enjoy the fresh Atlantic air.
  • 2-hour tours – Go further along the coast, with more chances to see dolphins and seabirds.
  • Half-day tours – Ideal for explorers who want to reach landmarks like Dún Briste or the Céide Fields cliffs.
  • Full-day tours – The ultimate adventure, taking in distant landmarks such as the Stags of Broadhaven, plus plenty of wildlife encounters along the way.

When to Go

  • Spring & summer: Longer daylight hours and calmer seas — great for families.
  • Late summer to autumn: Fantastic for birdwatchers and dolphin activity.
  • Mornings: Often best for calm seas and clear views.

Always check the weather forecast before your trip — our skippers will keep you updated on the best conditions.
