Board a small expert-crewed vessel from Fishguard Bay and head to Strumble Head — one of Wales's finest wildlife hotspots for Bottlenose dolphins, harbour porpoises, grey seals, and gannet colonies. A bucket-list encounter with wild Atlantic Wales.
What to expect
The RIB departs Goodwick Harbour and rounds the rugged Pembrokeshire headland toward Strumble Head, a protected stretch teeming with marine life year-round. Your naturalist guide scans the waves for the resident population of Bottlenose dolphins that frequent Cardigan Bay, as well as harbour porpoises, grey seals basking on sea stacks, and vast gannet colonies wheeling overhead. The commentary is expert and enthusiastic — this is genuine wildlife science, not a tourist ride. The salt air, dramatic cliffs, and occasional close encounter with a surfacing dolphin make this an experience that stays with you for years.
Good to know
Trips are weather-dependent — confirm departure the morning of your port call. Wear warm, waterproof layers regardless of season. Goodwick Harbour is a short walk from the cruise terminal. Book directly and flag your ship's all-aboard time.
