Old Head of Kinsale Wildlife Boat Tour

Experience the wild Atlantic coastline of West Cork on a memorable wildlife boat tour from Kinsale to the dramatic cliffs of Old Head of Kinsale. Leaving the sheltered harbour waters behind, the journey moves into the open Atlantic, an important feeding ground for marine life. Led by an experienced skipper and knowledgeable guide, the route adapts to sea conditions and wildlife activity, ensuring a safe and engaging adventure shaped by nature itself.

Keep watch for dolphins, harbour porpoises, grey seals, and a variety of seabirds including gannets and kittiwakes. Seasonal visitors such as basking sharks, sunfish, and minke whales may also appear. As the vessel nears the towering cliffs of the Old Head, engines slow to allow quiet observation, photography, and appreciation of this spectacular coastal landscape. Travel aboard a purpose built marine tourism vessel designed for comfort and ethical wildlife viewing, offering a rare perspective of Ireland’s rugged shoreline from the sea.
