Our aim at Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park is to raise awareness of environmental and conservation issues in general. We are committed to actively promoting the conservation of our environment, through our own environmental practices, through our interactions within our community, and through our education, environmental classes and interpretation activities.

Our Education Programmes, Biodiversity Programmes and Waste and Wildlife Programmes are available for all ages. All the Team are so aware of the Natural Beauty that surrounds us and how we daily can play an active role in protecting and preserving our natural environment. Our Wetlands itself plays an active role by its very existence in helping delete our Carbon Footprint, so it's our daily duty to preserve this reserve and help in every way we can to promote best practice. Our Biodiversity plan led by our Ecologist Alan proves that each of us can improve our natural environment daily by simple actions.

As we make plans for the future, our Guided Nature Tours will always include guidelines on how we can all protect our beautiful environment and play an active role in repairing it by learning new ways. We all look forward to welcoming you to one of the most beautiful places on our Island.

    The tour guides Tom and Alan were amazing. We had a group of over 20 people -university students, professors and a nine year old- and everyone enjoyed themselves. The tour guides even repaired my daughter’s stuffed animal buddy with cello tape and imagination! A memory she won’t soon forget. A real look into Irish natural beauty, wildlife flora etc. Great cafe as well and clean facilities with lots of educational materials- incredibly friendly helpful local staff! Highly recommend!

    Andrew

    Really interesting and well-organised investment has created a super environment for a wetland experience. The lay out of the space, the hides, the reeds, and the other facilities are really impressive. Ducks and swans in residence and a wonderful array of other birds (herons, curlews, egrets) in the vicinity.
