Wildlife holiday in Wales.
Based in the picturesque city of St Davids – the UK’s smallest city and barely more than a friendly attractive village. From this tranquil base you will head out into the sea to look out for whales and dolphins. There’s also the opportunity for a guided wildlife walk on some of the UK’s most important islands for sea birds and other wildlife.
The tours are timed to take advantage of the passage of whales and dolphins so while there’s no guarantees - there never is with wildlife – there is a vey good chance of spotting these marine mammals.
