We arrived at Blacksod pier at 2pm, we were kitted out with dry jumpsuits and life jackets and boarded our boats at 2:30pm to head on an adventure of a lifetime. It wasnât long to we came across a pod of dolphins. The engines were turned off and the dolphins came closer and closer. The operators were so respectful of the wildlife. We then moved on towards keem bay. Getting to see the cliffs and mountains of Achill from the water was a whole other experience in itself. We were honestly mind blown and smiled ear to ear the entire time.
We arrived at Keem Bay, one of our favourite locations in Ireland. The beauty here is out of this world and getting to see it from the water was incredible. It was long before we spotted the black fins in the water. We couldnât believe our luck, 2 Basking Sharks were feeding in the bay. Again, the engines were turned off and we admired them from over 20 metres away. We couldâve sat for hours admiring these gentle giants. Here RĂłnan had the chance to put the drone up, the view from above was out of this world. With the crystal clear waters of Keem Bay and the clear skies, we could see every detail of these amazing creatures.
On our journey back to Blacksod pier we came across Seals and some sea birds. Then, we spotted the black fins once again. Another Basking Shark. You honestly couldnât have wiped the smile of our faces! The price for this tour was âŹ80pp and we were out for over 3hours! Incredible value.
We canât thank Blacksod Safari & Joshua enough for the experience and we cannot wait for our next one! Wonât be long until the Humpback Whales will make an appearance on our shores đđ¤
