What To Expect

We can do a sightseeing tour or fishing on our 3 hour charter. For fishing, we start with some mackerel fishing then switch to some reef and bottom fishing. A fun short trip on which you are sure to bring home your dinner! These trips also run in the evening so are perfect for people working during the day.
During the sightseeing charter you will hear a lot of information on the history of Rosses Point and Sligo, visiting some old lighthouses and maybe some seals along the way! Sometimes we are visited by dolphins and other marine life too. We can mix these options to suit you!

  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
