🌊 New harbour added, same crew, same trips - you choose your departure point.

We’re delighted to share that Bantry Sea Safari is now also running daily trips from the Blue Pool Pontoon, Glengarriff - one of the most stunning corners of West Cork.

For years we’ve been taking private trips from this beautiful harbour, but this season they’re more frequent so you can plan your day.

Hop aboard for our signature Sea Safari, Whiddy Island Experience or Seafood Tour trips to spot birdlife, seals, dolphins and soak up the coastline.

Step ashore on Whiddy Island for fresh mussels, a creamy pint and the kind of welcome only a West Cork island can give you.

Same local skippers. Same unforgettable trips. Just closer than ever if you're near Glengarriff.
