"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."

Mary Kate and Liam gave our group a lovely morning on the water. We got to witness dolphins feeding and throwing their fresh caught fish in the air. We loved seeing the peninsula from the water. Mary Kate gave us great facts about the area and local landmarks. She also told us the lovely story behind the name of the boat. We had a great time on this tour.

Great experience all round. Mary Kate and Laura were absolutely amazing. The journey was brilliant as the conditions were ideal for us to see dolphins. Mary Kate and Laura went above and beyond to ensure we saw dolphins and thankfully we saw some and were lucky enough to see two newborns. The boat was comfortable and the complimentary tea/coffee/hot chocolate were a lovely touch to end an amazing day at sea. Thanks to both Laura and Mary Kate for making our trip to Clare that bit more special and memorable.

Great day on the water. Although the dolphins were elusive initially Mary Kate never gave up searching until we spotted them. She is very knowledgeable and with her crew, Laura, we had a wonderful trip.

It was wonderful to watch the dolphins in their element. They enjoyed accompanying our boat, and we were happier after the tour! We also received a lot of information about the dolphins and the surrounding area. Thank you so much!

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!
