What People Are Saying About Our Tours

  • Incredible experience with Mick-the boat ride was thrilling, we saw dolphins, seals, cormorant birds and Mick shared interesting information on them. The rocks and sea arch were fascinating too. Inishkea island is beautiful- turquoise water, golden sand and the old houses to explore. The best boat trip operator by far.

  • Looking forward to my next adventure with Blacksod sea safari!
    I joined Blacksod Sea Safari with a walking club. It was an amazing experience. The cliffs are spectacular, we saw seals on a dessert beach, dolphins playing around us. The lads knew the best spots to take us to and had plenty of time to enjoy. Blacksod is a great place to visit.

  • Had a fantastic day out in Blacksod Bay on the Sea Safari rib with Michael. We went for a tour around the islands and then had a stop off on Iniskea South on one of the best days of the year. Sea was flat calm and we learnt a lot . It’s been a long time since I was there before and it was great to be back especially on the fast moving RIB. Recommended.

  • Ever so friendly and really enjoyable. We saw Gannets, Guillemots, Seals, black rabbits (yes they are there – no joke), maybe a fin of a basking shark. Best thing- we could bring our dog. Thx so much.
