Pond Dipping - Important Information

  • All animals are returned to the pond after this activity.
  • Pond dipping is a safe activity, but it is important to listen to the Guides instruction for your own safety and the safety of the animals 
  • It is also important to realise that what species you encounter on this tour are effected by the weather and season
  • It is recommended to bring rain gear and sun protection, this close to the Atlantic on the West coast of Ireland you could need both on the same tour.

Paul

Went on a guided walk with Thomas. He and the place fantastic. Learned new things in a friendly, conversational way. Felt energised and recharged in mind and body afterwards. A brilliant experience. Highly recommended.

The tour guides Tom and Alan were amazing. We had a group of over 20 people -university students, professors and a nine year old- and everyone enjoyed themselves. The tour guides even repaired my daughter’s stuffed animal buddy with cello tape and imagination! A memory she won’t soon forget. A real look into Irish natural beauty, wildlife flora etc. Great cafe as well and clean facilities with lots of educational materials- incredibly friendly helpful local staff! Highly recommend!

TripAdvisor Review at Tralee Bay Wetlands

Andrew

Really interesting and well-organised investment has created a super environment for a wetland experience. The lay out of the space, the hides, the reeds, and the other facilities are really impressive. Ducks and swans in residence and a wonderful array of other birds (herons, curlews, egrets) in the vicinity.
