Seafari Eco and Seal-Watching Cruise

About

Seafari runs eco and seal-watching cruises out onto Kenmare Bay from the pier, a family-run operation going since 1993 and the classic on-the-water thing to do in the town. The trip heads out along the tidal sea inlet to the seal colonies, with a good chance of grey and common seals hauled out on the rocks, along with sea birds and, with luck, other marine life, and a guide who knows the bay. It is family-friendly and pitched as much at children as adults, with a relaxed couple of hours on the water. It is seasonal and weather-dependent, so book ahead and check the sailing on the day.
