Cardigan Bay
Cardigan Bay is home to a rich variety of wildlife including the ever playful bottlenose dolphins which often steal the limelight. It is also home to harbour porpoise, Atlantic grey seals, and a wide variety of bird species. We have visiting basking sharks, sun fish, and even Orcas', Minke Whales and Humpback Whales have been spotted in recent years.

This has lead to Cardigan Bay's beautiful coastline being designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) to help ensure its beauty and its wildlife is safeguarded for generations to come.
The SAC covers an area starting at Ceibwr Bay, just down the coast from Cardigan and runs along the coastline covering Cardigan Island, Mwnt, Aberporth, Tresiath, Llangrannog, New Quay Aberaeron and on to Aberarth.
Our trips depart from either Cardigan or Aberporth, both of which are situated within the SAC. Our operating also includes Mwnt and Cadigan Island which along with Aberporth are the most reliable places in the SAC to see the Bay's resident bottlenose dolphins.
