We viewed the Gobbins caves and all the birds that nest in the area. There was no need to get binos as the skipper was able to get so close to the nests. Calm sea and great all together!

The boat trip we went to in June 2008 was very enjoyable. It took us 2 attempts to get there as the first couple of times the wind was in the wrong direction. The boat man said that it was best to wait until the sea was calm.
He was right, it is a great place and it is very close to all the urban areas. When we were there you felt it could have been in the most remote parts of the island of Ireland, fantastic all together. Will try and go again.
