10 best wildlife watching trips

For dolphin spotting

 
New Quay, Cardigan Bay, Ceredigion

The sight of dolphins leaping above the waves is hard to beat in terms of wildlife watching. Cardigan Bay is one of the best places for spotting the bottlenose dolphin - look out for its short beak, which makes it easily identifiable. They're known to follow inquisitively alongside boats and to enjoy surfing in their wake. The Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre, based in the pretty coastal town of New Quay, organises boat trips from £16 for adults and £10 for children.
