As seen on BBC "DOLPHIN TOWN" available on BBC iPlayer
New Quay Boat Trips operates independently and is not affiliated with any other dolphin watching or boat trip operators. Ceredigion, Cardigan Bay, West Wales SA45 9NW

We are a family run business with almost 70 years of experience. We operate from April to October and our Dreamcatcher boat is also often available to book before 1st of April.

We have purpose-built passenger boats licensed and inspected by the Maritime Coastguard Agency which will take you safely out to sea. Your trip will be entirely within the Cardigan Bay 'Special Area of Conservation' departing from the historic pier at New-Quay. Our company has been a SeaWatch Foundation recommended boat operator in New Quay for over fifteen years. The main attraction is one which we cannot guarantee but that adds to the experience when they appear, we pause at seal haul-out areas and bird colonies where you can see a number of coastal species depending on time of year. Bottlenose dolphins frequent the bay in great numbers between April and October, Wildlife is protected in Cardigan Bay so we aim to give you the best encounters with our wildlife without causing them any disturbance. Our wildlife guides will give you loads of amazing information about dolphins, seals, birds etc. Our boats are available for private charter like birthday, hen party, and also film and media charter available. Dogs welcome free of charge. In 2024 we introduce 'Suncatcher' the first dolphin spotting boat in west Wales with an upper deck, she has unrivalled views plus and indoor area offering hot and cold snacks. Tickets can be purchased directly here: https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/newquayboattrips/?full-items=yes&flow=170948 and also can be purchased from the booking office in the usual way.

Going through the Witsun Week archives!
Safe to say, wildlife guide Sarah took a LOT of photos over the bank holiday & Witsun week with the glorious weather and wonderful wildlife.

Here are some more images to share with you all from last weeks trips on Suncatcher!
Close encounters of the flippered and feathered kind. Many encounters with our local maternity pods with some very active calves.

We forget to post photos of our beautiful sea birds because … well the Dolphins steal all the attention. But we absolutely ADORE them. In the calm weather and beautiful light, our Razorbills and Guillemots look so handsome!
Can you tell the difference between the two?
Both Razorbills and Guillemots are part of the AUK family. They are both larger cousins of Puffins! 😍

Did you know our boat trips are proud to be part of the WISE scheme? Our sea birds deserve the same respect and protection as our marine mammals, especially during their breeding season. Part of the wise scheme ensures that we keep at least 100m from sea bird colonies and rafting seabirds to minimise disturbance during this vital time.
Doesn’t stop them from popping up next to our boats for a quick photo OP though 😜
