Located on the shores of the Tay Estuary, Dundee offers a marine wildlife experience unlike most destinations in our collection. Here, bottlenose dolphins take center stage, in an environment where the city, the river, and the sea meet.

The Tay Estuary is home to one of the most remarkable resident populations of bottlenose dolphins in the United Kingdom. These animals regularly frequent the waters surrounding Dundee, alongside grey seals, seabirds, and a rich variety of coastal wildlife. Each excursion is unique and depends on natural conditions as well as the movements of the animals themselves.

We selected this team for the quality of the experience they provide and their deep knowledge of this unique estuarine environment. Their trips offer the opportunity to observe local wildlife while discovering Dundee and its rich maritime heritage from a unique perspective.

Beyond dolphin watching, these outings invite visitors to better understand the connections between the city, the river, and the marine world. A place where wildlife remains visible within a landscape that has long been shaped by human activity.

What We Particularly Appreciate Here

The opportunity to observe bottlenose dolphins in an environment where nature and maritime history coexist side by side. A destination that reminds us that wildlife can sometimes thrive where we least expect it: at the gateway to a city shaped by the sea.
