About the Tour
We operate between Cape Clear and The Old Head of Kinsale in County Cork.
There are two trips a day offered except in the busy season. In July and
August we run three trips a day starting at 05.30 for the early bird tour.
We also run coastal nature tours during the early and later part of the season
when offshore trips are not tenable because of the weather.
In addition to the whales and dolphins we view there is an abundance of other
fascinating wildlife, including two species of seals, the common seal and the
Atlantic grey seal.
Many species of seabirds including arctic and great skuas, sooty and Manx
shearwaters, storm petrels and occasionally the rare vagrant Wilson's petrel.
Guillemots, razorbills and puffins abound in the waters where we take our
visitors.
Blue sharks, basking shars and leatherback turtles are often seen during our
tours. The unusual and strangely named sunfish are also frequently
encountered.
Tours normally last between three and four hours.
 The
Boats.
Voyager can take 12 passengers (all passenger boats in West Cork are licensed
for 12) and we have a spacious wheelhouse, facilities for making hot drinks
and a toilet on board which ensures passenger comfort.
All our trips are oriented towards education and putting forward the wider
marine conservation message.
We especially emphasise the impact of climate change, unsustainable fishing
practices and pollution on all marine life but especially the impact on marine
mammals that are at the top of the fod chain.
A portion of all proceeds taken in on the tours goes towards research and we
actively contribute towards the research fund of the IWDG.
We strive towards carbon neutrality through the combined use of computer
controlled low emission engines, purchasing carbon credits and contributing
towards tree planting.
Cost
The cost for a whale and dolphin watching tour is 50 euro for adults and 35
euro for children under 12 years of age.
