Best place to see dolphins in Wales
Cardigan Bay
Cardigan Bay, with its 60 miles of coastline, is the ideal spot for you to see dolphins in the wild. With a population of over 250 dolphins, it has the largest resident population of dolphins in Europe. The summer months, in particular, are ideal for a day trip on a chartered boat, and the chances you spot a dolphin out in the bay are very high.
The best time for dolphin spotting is early morning, evening and immediately after high tide. For this reason, we offer sunset trips which give a great chance of seeing some dolphins up close. The sunset tours take around 90 minutes and offer the best views of the sunset in Cardigan Bay.
New Quay
Over Cardigan Bay’s 60 miles of coastline, perhaps the best spot of all to start your dolphin-watching experience is the beautiful town of New Quay. New Quay offers beautiful sandy beaches and a fantastic harbour to start your boat trip from. There’s plenty to see in New Quay before and after your boat trip for a full day out.
The coastline between New Quay and Cardigan is well known for its vibrant wildlife. As well as dolphins, there are harbour porpoises and even grey seals often spotted in the bay.
