Meet the Locals
The Saltee Islands are home to an abundance of marine and bird life:
Puffins
Watch these iconic seabirds with their colourful beaks as they nest along the cliffs. A true highlight during the breeding season, puffins are playful, fast, and endlessly fascinating to observe.
Grey Seals
Often spotted lounging on rocky outcrops or playfully swimming near the boat, these curious creatures are a favourite among visitors.
Risso’s Dolphins
Keep your eyes on the horizon — these striking dolphins, known for their scarred bodies and tall dorsal fins, are occasionally seen gliding through the waters around the islands.
Seabird Colonies
From gannets and guillemots to razorbills, the cliffs come alive with sound and movement during nesting season.
