Moray Firth Dolphin Boat Trips
As well as land based dolphin spotting at areas like Chanonry Point and Burghead you can also take a boat trip. Wildlife and dolphin boat trips on the Moray Firth give you a wonderful chance to see dolphins and other sealife up close. There should be one or two near your holiday location.
Dolphin and wildlife watching trips sail from quite a few places around the Moray Firth Inverness, Nairn, Avoch (pronounced Och) and Findhorn. Remember, dolphins are wild animals so none of the boat trip operators can guarantee sightings. Don't forget that land based dolphin watching is a popular activity in this area too.
Boats can disrupt the natural behaviour of dolphins and other sealife. Dolphin Boat Trip operators in the Moray Firth can commit to codes of conduct operated by the Dolphin Space Programme (and) or the WiSe scheme (Wildlife Safe) - Accredited Wildlife Safe Operator Scheme. These schemes can give a good level of assurance that your dolphin Boat trip has minimal impact on dolphins and other sealife in the Moray Firth so please look out for this accreditation.
