Dolphin Watching for Two
About this experience
There’s nothing quite as special as watching wildlife in its natural habitat, and with this Dolphin Watching for Two, you’ll have the chance to do just that, helping to support vital dolphin research all the while. Cardigan Bay is one of the best places in Europe for dolphin watching, and one of only two areas in the UK hosting a semi-resident population of bottlenose dolphins.
You’ll provided with a full commentary by your fully qualified skipper, who’ll take you to the most likely locations to spot a dolphin or two. A designated Special Area of Conservation, the location is recognised for its ecological importance and boasts a wide range of habitats and creatures. As well as dolphins, look out for harbour porpoises, Atlantic grey seals, sunfish and a variety of seabirds.
Although species sightings depend on the weather and time of year and can’t be guaranteed, nothing beats the anticipation of spotting one of these impressive wild animals.

“Cool trip”
Nice trip along the coast of cardigan. Unfortunately we didn't find the dolphins until 5 minutes before the end and didn't have much time to stop and watch them. Did get to see seals though and watching the Ganets fishing was cool. Plenty of other sea birds to watch and hundreds of jelly fish. If you burn easily covering up and plenty of sun screen is a must on a hot day. We look like lobsters.

“Seeing animals in wild where should be.”
Nice small seaside town where goes from and beautiful coastline on boat trip. Of corse being wild animals your not guaranteed to see them but we luckily got to spot some on our way back in for about 5 minutes so was very happy along with some seals, but even if we hadn't of seen them I would have been fine as they are roaming free in the sea where they should be. Also saw some from shore. Very informative on boat about the wildlife etc.
“Dolphins and birds”
The trip went ok. We did see dolphins so this was good. Only thing is trying to locate where to claim our ticket, the voucher has no information on whatsoever, so thankfully we arrived in plenty of time and could ask around. Would be good to put info on or in with voucher
