New Quay is situated at the heart of Cardigan Bay, where hundreds of bottlenose dolphins are resident in the waters peaking between April and October but to a lesser degree all year round. Our dolphin spotting boat trips are the best way to optimise your chances of a close encounter with these wild dolphins in their natural environment, and our skippers respect the conservation code, so your enjoyment won’t be at the expense of the dolphins.
During our trips, you will learn about the lives of bottlenose dolphins and why they choose to reside in Cardigan Bay, as well as about all the other marine wildlife that thrive within the Special Area of Conservation.
