A family-friendly boat trip from Kilmore Quay to the Saltee Islands, a stunning nature reserve off the coast of County Wexford, Ireland. The islands are a sanctuary for thousands of seabirds, including gannets, puffins, and razorbills, making it a fantastic wildlife experience for kids. Highlights: boat ride, bird watching, seal sightings, and exploring the islands (no facilities – bring food, water, and suitable clothing). Suitable for all ages, but very young children may find the boat ride bumpy in rough weather. The islands require walking on uneven terrain. Only operates in good weather; check forecast and book ahead. No indoor facilities on the islands.
