Please Note: We are a hospital first and foremost, so the well-being of the seals in our care is our first priority. This time of year is our quietest time for rescues as we prepare for the seal pupping season to begin in the coming weeks. Currently we only have one grey seal in care and we are maintaining low visitor numbers for this patient. We have a limited number of Seal Feed and Enrichment Experiences available. If you would still like to book in for a 30 minute tour, we are running an adapted Educational Tour, there will be no seal visible during this tour but you can still join us to learn all about seals in Ireland, our work and what you can help! Please call our office number to book / for more info: 053 942 4980

Activities in the area
The beautiful Courtown Harbour is nestled quietly amongst a vast area of natural beauty. If you’re looking for a weekend getaway or even a day trip down from Dublin or the Midlands, visit our seals in the “The Sunny South-East” and discover all of the amazing activities nearby too!
Check out Lovegorey.ie, wexfordtrails.ie or download the official Visit Wexford App for lots of fantastic activities!
Gallivanting Tours
After visiting the seals, we recommend checking out Gallivanting Tours to explore the ancient beauty of Courtown Woods, a current hotspot for biodiversity, and one of the last remaining strongholds of An Dubh Tir, The Dark Country. Gallivanting is a state of mind, a place of learning, exploration and discovery!
On Lorraine’s walks, you’ll discover a whole new but also very old world. Discover the Earth worship of Celtic Ireland and the belief that our native Irish Trees have energies that can help us in our busy modern lifestyles. Foraging and Folklore that lets you follow in the footsteps of your ancestors.
All this and more awaits you on a Gallivanting Walk or Workshop!
Halloween at SRI: Seal your Doom!
For the week of halloween (both weekends included) we will be offering two additional programmes, one for kids and one for adults:
