Good to know

What should I wear?

Wear warm layers, waterproof clothing if needed, and flat, practical shoes. Conditions at sea can feel colder than on land, even on clear days.

Where do we depart from?

Ballycastle Harbour — our boat “Selkie” is on the outer pier, behind the Rathlin Ferry. Walk down the pier through the big green gate; allow 5–10 minutes from the car park. Please arrive 15 minutes before departure.

What if the weather turns?

All trips depend on safe sea and weather conditions. If conditions are unsuitable, the Kintra team will contact you about rescheduling or a refund.
