"Dolphin Watch Carrigaholt The boat heads out into the silver-green water. I haven't brought the right jacket, so Susanne Magee, the co-owner of Dolphin Watch, brings me a thick, cozy one. We had out into the area where the Shannon River meets the Atlantic, to see some of the 160 bottle-nosed dolphins that live in the Shannon Estuary. Susanne and her husband Geoff named their boat Draiocht (magic) to be able to bring the magic of dolphin spotting to the public. Whenever one of the dolphin's gray backs are spotted, a cry of happiness rises up from the people in the boat. Tours are two hours and cost 25 Euro for adults, 12.50 Euro for children 5 to 16, and 5 Euro for children 5 and under. Phone: 353 659058156 for reservations."

Genuinely one of the best tourist attractions I've taken part in anywhere in the world. Incomparable to similarly advertised dolphin trips elsewhere in the world, where you will roam endless ocean to briefly encounter a pod of uninterested dolphins. In the Shannon estuary the dolphins are easily found, know the boat, and love to play and jump around the driocht. Also includes fascinating geographical information, as well as other wildlife such as seals, sea birds, wild goats and the odd fisherman! Well worth the visit, when if it's out of your way

Absolutely enjoyed the Dolphin watch with my mother in law. Great activity for people of all ages. The staff on board were knowledgeable and talked through the flora and fauna. We saw loads of dolphins. I love Carrigaholt.

Beautiful and informative trip in Shannon estuary aboard comfortable boat. Saw several pods of bottlenose dolphins up close. Also shown impressive local geology. Nice cup of tea on boat too.

Beautiful surroundings, knowledge staff and lots of dolphins. I was very impressed by how environmentally responsible this trip was, the dolphins' welfare and the impact our presence had on them was paramount to the staff. An excellent experience.

This was a fabulous experience. We booked via phone and the ticket pickup and boarding process was easy. During our journey, we saw many dolphins (jumping, chasing the boat, riding along with the boat's bow), a seal, many birds, and numerous historical sites in the area. The crew was made up of the captain and 2 resident zoologists. They walked around the boat during the tour answering questions, providing insight, and telling stories about the area. They (Mary Kate and Deb) made the trip great. Highly recommend!
