HomeEarly Morning Wild Red Deer Viewing Safari in Connemara
In the early dawn, set out to track the Wild Red Deer in its natural habitat of scenic mountains, bogs, heaths, grasslands and woodlands. Fully guided. Available all year round. Min 1 max 4 pax.
Description
Join us on an exclusive early morning guided wild deer viewing safari in Connemara. You will attempt to catch a sight of this majestic wild animal in its natural habitat. This tour is a spectacular way to capture the Connemara landscape on camera too!
Without a doubt, the most exciting time of year for deer watching is early to mid-October when the red deer start their courting actions, during the short period of time known as the ‘rut’. Hormonally charged males put on an impressive show as they fight to build their harem of females, and if you're lucky you might see two red stags locked in an antler to antler battle!
