Sea Safari

Having had a few visitors now, we've started to experiment with recommended tourist spots and excursions. This way we can test out our suggestions and not send anyone on a crappy tour. The Dublin Sea Safari was on the agenda for a sunny Sunday afternoon several weeks ago. I thought this was going to be a sort of 'cruise' out to Ireland's Eye to see the birds. Turns out, it was more of a 'high speed adventure' in a big inflatable raft. They send 2 boats out at a time, and they chase each other and ride each other's wakes. The 2nd boat on our trip was full of 12 yr old boys who wanted us to act like pirates. Needless to say, not a leisurely nature cruise kind of thing. In any case, it was a gorgeous day, and we saw some great wildlife. Jellyfish, lots of birds (including puffins!) and seals. I'd recommend it if you're not shy about riding some waves! The rest of the pictures are here.

Did I mention you shouldn't be out to impress anyone on this tour?
