THE ADVENTURE
This is an exploratory adventure to swim with basking sharks off Ireland. Experience the inspiring landscapes, unique history, and abundant wildlife.

Ireland’s natural beauty is diverse and ever changing.

This expedition has been in the works for many years now, it is an animal we have dreamed of encountering and thankfully due to the protection they have received, it is now possible. Basking sharks were once easy to find but were hunted to the brink of extinction. The animals achieved CITES protection status in 2002, since then, the population of basking sharks has been on a slow steady rise, which is why we are finally setting up this expedition to swim with the second largest shark in the ocean.

They are still difficult animals to find, but we use local guides with years of experience encountering these animals.

Basking sharks are just one part of the adventure, there is so much natural beauty IN Ireland, we plan to take advantage of it all!
