Dolphin Discovery Days, North East Scotland

In our small group we will explore the beautiful Moray Firth, recommended by BBC1's Springwatch as "the best place in Europe to see wild bottlenose dolphins". Our resident population of dolphins live here year round and we know all the top places to look for them. (However, all these animals live wild and free, so sightings can never be guaranteed). Trips can also include watching and learning about the seals at Findhorn bay or even joining in with a seal research project to help protect them; visiting bays and cliffs to see coastal and breeding seabirds (including gannets, puffins (and other auks), kittiwakes and fulmar), and exploring and learning about tidepool life. Minke whales, harbour porpoises and basking sharks are also possible.
This is a rare opportunity to spend time with a qualified and experienced expert who will take you to the best possible places to see dolphins and other marine wildlife.

You can book a private trip just for your own family or group or join one of the scheduled group trips. Refer to the Full Itinerary for details and options - which could include :
