Kinsale Sea Safari
About
A two-hour rib tour out of Kinsale to the Old Head, hugging the coast the whole way under an experienced skipper. You run out past the sea cliffs and, when the conditions allow, into the sea caves, with the skipper telling the history of the harbour and the head as you go. Keep an eye out for the wildlife along the route, the seabirds and seals and, on a good day, dolphins. Waterproofs and life jackets are supplied, and it is not suitable for under-8s or anyone prone to seasickness.
