Nic and his crew were amazing! What a phenomenal experience. I booked over email and Nic was so incredibly kind, patient and helpful. He updated me along the way and answered every question I had. Kate was awesome and helped me immediately when we got on board. Nic is a great speaker, he’s very passionate about what he does and cares deeply about the animals we were so fortunate to see. We had a stop in a small town on the most southern part of Ireland. Great seafood chowder! Cosy little place. Amazing sea side view.

Was back home in West Cork visiting family and decided to sign myself and my 2 teenage boys up for a Sunday afternoon trip on the water. First up was the informative safety overview. We were on the boat with Rosemary & Kate-very knowledgeable ladies with a background in marine biology. When we left Baltimore the cloud cover was initially low but gradually lifted and we were rewarded after about an hour with a huge sighting of about 40 dolphins who were very interactive with the 2 boats on our tour. They put on quite a show for us and everyone had a big smile on their face. We later stopped off in Cape Clear for about an hour and were able to grab some food near the harbour. The total tour took about 4 hours with the crew taking their time to spot other forms of sea life for us to view. The trip surpassed our expectations and credit to Nic and his fantastic staff who were both knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommended!

Great adventure, Nic and crew made us feel welcome since the very first step on the boat. Limited amount of people onboard which makes the journey enjoyable compared to other services available with overcrowded boats. We managed to see both dolphins and a couple of whales, actively helping spot them. Great experience and highly recommended.
