About: Seafari Fun, Eco-Nature and Seal Watching Cruises allow you to explore Kenmare Bay and all the wildlife that inhabits the area. Seafari cruises will take you on their premier sea-watching and eco-nature boats, where passengers will be comfortable and sheltered. You will be taken from the beautiful Kenmare Pier to the tranquil waters of Kenmare Bay.
 
From there you will be taken to one of the largest seal colonies in Ireland with over 300 of these amazing creatures. There are also playful otters and lots of birds living here, and the knowledgeable Captain will guide you through the historical sites and explain how the Ice Age shaped the bay. Watch out for Kathleen, a stunning seal with a red coat who is rumoured to be a selkie, a seal which was once human according to legend.
