(Dolphin Watching)* 3 HOURS
This trip departs Bunagee at 10am or 2pm and is a scenic tour along the coast to Malin Head or Kinnagoe bay. During busy periods there may be two trips per day, morning and afternoon. On our way there, or on the way back, we usually encounter a pod of dolphins which really brings the trip to life !! 😊. We have estimated their number at 50+ on occasions. (See our page for photos and videos).
On arrival at our destination (usually Malin Head) we drop anchor for approximately 45 minutes to allow you enjoy a tea or coffee and light refreshments (Maybe even a glass of wine 😜). Some brave souls have been known to have a quick swim !!! Then its time to return to Culdaff. Travel to Malin Head and back plus lunch break and time taken to play with the dolphins (hopefully) means that this trip takes 4 hours. We should also point out that the dolphins are not guaranteed on every trip as obviously we have no control over them !
Departing Bunagee at 10 am or 2 pm. If only one trip is scheduled on the day departure will be between 12 noon and 2 pm.
Use post code F93 Y9K1 for your sat nav and remember to bring sun block, sunglasses and your video/camera !
You are welcome to bring your own refreshments if you wish.
€ 60 per person
€30 per child under 16 yrs

*Full Day. (Inishtrahull )*
A full day out on the yacht includes your teas, coffee, scones and lunch. (See below)
We depart at 10am for the island of Inishtrahull and you and your group can relax and enjoy the views. If we are lucky we may observe a few basking sharks or dolphins along the way and if we do we will stop and take photos or videos etc. Once at the island, we drop anchor and you will be served with tea or coffee and scones. Then its time to go ashore where you will be brought on a guided tour of the island in its entirety. (Approximately 2 hours duration)
There are an abundance of seals lying on the rocks watching us at all times lol. There is lots to see once ashore. The old buildings where people lived years ago, the old school, the grave yard, the light houses, old and new, not to mention the numerous rabbits and a couple of deer watching on as we go.
Once back onboard our hostess will have a sumptuous lunch prepared for you to enjoy (see pics). Afterwards sit back and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine or prosecco or have a quick refreshing swim until it is time to begin the journey back to Bunagee, arriving at approximately 6pm.
You are also welcome to bring your own refreshments/alcohol (within reason) of course.

********************************************
Embark from the pontoon at Bunagee pier for a day trip to Inishtrahull Island at 10am. There, you can enjoy a day on your own uninhabited island - except for the wildlife. Its geographical location and lighthouse attract many unusual birds and a mass of grey seals. Rabbits are in abundance and a couple of deer are still present as well. On the way you may experience basking sharks and dolphins which are a common sight during the summer months. The sea surrounding the island is littered with wrecks that were torpedoed during the war and are popular with divers. It is an underwater graveyard to German U-boats and one of the great losses was the Empire Heritage a ship of 15,702 tons which was carrying dozens of Sherman tanks.
It lies in shallow waters of less than 70 metres. Click the video to see amazing underwater footage of the tanks lying scattered on the sea bed.Inishtrahull was inhabited until 1929 when only the lighthouse keepers remained. With the lighthouse going automatic the last of the lighthouse keepers left circa 1987. The island is formed of a granitic gneiss and is dated at 1.7 billion years old. Other rock formations similar to this are to be found off southern Greenland and Scandinavia. The old wall steads are still present on the island, as is the school and graveyard.
