Basking Sharks, Harbour Porpoises, and Risso Dolphins, and Bottlenose Dolphin are the most commonly sighted off the coast of the Isle of Man.
Basking Sharks may be sighted between the months of May to September off the West Coast and the Calf of Man. These gentle giants swim slowly, filtering zooplankton with their ginormous mouths. Did you know they can grow up to 15 metres?
