Offshore Islands & Dolphin Voyage
Our Offshore Island and Dolphin Voyage is another firm favourite boat trip!
Join us on this 2 ½ Voyage as we first set sail across the open ocean towards Grassholm Island RSPB Nature Reserve, home to the Third Largest Gannet Colony in the UK, within the region of 20,000 pairs of breeding Gannets.
We then visit Wales’ most remote lighthouse, The Smalls which is 20 miles offshore (if sea conditions allow), before heading further offshore into the Celtic Deep in search of cetaceans.
This Voyage has provided excellent sightings of Common Dolphins, Porpoises and Risso’s Dolphins! We have also spotted Minke Whales, Fin Whales and even a Leatherback Turtle over the years!
