DSP Accredited Dolphin and Wildlife Watching Boat Trips 2015
The list below of DSP Accredited Operators is arranged geographically, starting from the furthest north in Caithness and following around via Inverness and along the south Moray Firth coast
DSP accredited operators are committed to providing quality, safe wildlife watching trips which do not cause disturbance to marine wildlife. As well as following the DSP code of conduct for approaching cetaceans, most DSP operators have also undertaken training with the WiSe (Wildlife Safe) scheme, see www.wisescheme.org for more details. This scheme provides training on how to approach a wide range of marine life including seals, seabirds, basking sharks, as well as cetaceans.
The main dolphin boat tour season is from March to October, but trips may be possible at other times by arrangement.
Please contact individual operators for more details and to book.
