Baltimore Sea Safari

Baltimore Sea Safari

Coastal Adventure on the Atlantic

Departing from the scenic harbour village of Baltimore, this boat tour offers an exciting way to experience Ireland’s marine life and dramatic coastline. With experienced skippers and a fast, comfortable RIB (rigid inflatable boat), you’ll cover sea caves, cliffs, and historic landmarks all in one trip.

The waters around Baltimore are rich with wildlife — keep your eyes peeled for seals, dolphins, whales, and seabirds. The tour often passes by the iconic Fastnet Rock Lighthouse and Cape Clear Island, giving you a true feel for the Atlantic’s power and beauty.

What to See and Do

Besides wildlife spotting, you’ll learn about local history, shipwrecks, and lighthouses from your knowledgeable guide. The boat also brings you close to uninhabited islands and hidden coves rarely seen from land.

Tours run in most weather conditions and are suitable for all ages, though you’ll want to dress warmly and bring your camera.

Fun Fact

Fastnet Rock is known as “Ireland’s Teardrop” — the last part of the country emigrants saw before crossing the Atlantic.

Local Insight

After your trip, head to Bushe’s Bar on the harbour — a favourite with locals and skippers alike.
