Dawn's Daybreak Adventure

About this experience

NB: Trips depart at time shown on booking, please arrive at least 15 minutes prior for boarding.

Departing Ballycastle harbour before the village awakens, we depart at daybreak (times vary), slipping out through the harbour mouth in anticipation of the sunrise over the water, making our way eastwards to the rising sun.

The columns of basalt that form the cliffs Fairhead standing tall in the morning light, passing Rue point lighthouse just as the sun appears on the horizon. We hope to see sea birds heading in towards the cliffs silhouetted by the golden sun rising up from the sea. Puffins, gullimot, Razorbill, fulmar, kittiwake, gannet, seals, porpoise, dolphins and possible whale and basking shark all come to life with the rising sun.

The early morning sunrise is a great way to start a day on the North Coast, arriving back in to Ballycastle in time for breakfast.

Things to bring:

• Warm clothing


• Waterproof clothing


• A blanket if you get cold.

Please note that we cannot gaurantee the weather on the morning of the tour so you may not see a sunrise.
