About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

The tour will begin with a short introduction to Ireland's iconic seal species; their fascinating life history, behaviours and the threats they face in modern oceans. You will learn all about the rescue and rehabilitation process and enjoy a guided tour of our facility with the chance to meet some of the adorable seal pups in care and learn their individual stories.

You'll get plenty of photo opportunities during this 60- minute experience as well as a chance to browse our giftshop, 'adopt' a seal of your own and other ways to help support us further, with all proceeds going to support the ongoing rescue and conservation effort.
