I went on a 2.5hr whale/ dolphin watch with Kiwigirl and that was money really well spent. The crew was absolutely amazing, so personable they interacted with all the people on board, pointing out dolphins to us. They really strived to make everyone on board feel comfortable as well as making us laugh! It was just a really enjoyable experience and I’m so glad I went. I would highly recommend Kiwigirl

Had another magical day on the water with Kiwigirl. The sun shone, winds were fair and dolphins, minke whale and the majestic humpback showed up for us. Add to that Declan's deep knowledge and love for the fabulous resource that is Donegal Bay. A fabulous day.
