Wild Wales
In the past, dolphins were thought to be only found in South and West Wales – However, this is no longer the case. Dolphins in recent years have been spotted in North Wales. This article will give you the best information on how to see these amazing creatures with your own eyes.
Although it’s definitely not the most common site you will ever come across -that’s what makes it so special. A brief look onto the internet will reveal some awesome footage of these outstandingly beautiful creatures gliding above and below the waters, dolphins are known for being friendly towards humans and in the past have even been known to even help to drown sailors at sea.
“If you go and visit the coves and bays where sea life is known to be in abundance, typically where you will find animals such as seals or porpoises, then you will be treated to not only stunning views of the natural seascape, but also have a dice-roll of the chance of seeing some of these wonderful sea creatures – and if you are very lucky indeed, then maybe even the sight of a bottlenose dolphin”
But how can I definitely see one on a trip?
There is no way you can guarantee seeing these wonderful creatures – not in the slightest, however, if you often go to the beautiful locations in which they are found, and see the seals which are, much more commonly present, then you at least have a chance of being treated to their presence.
