A must do while in dingle - Highly recommend! One of the best decisions of our trip. Lovely tour guide with information about the peninsula, history, facts, etc. - plus what's not to love about seeing dolphins!! Bundle up though even with warm weather the sea is very cold.

Bundle up for a scenic ride - Bundle up for this scenic boat ride of your lifetime. From the welcome as we entered to Anna equipping me with layers to keep warm to the historical narration of the Blasket Islands to watching the colony of seals play on the beach this three hour experience was a delightful one.

Great experience and opportunity to get the feel of the water between Dingle Harbor and Great Blasket Island - The views were amazing from the “get-go”. The crew was a great narrator of information and watched out for all of us.

Great boat trip with dolphins and whales - Amazing Tour, we were lucky and saw seals, puffins, dolphins and even a humpback whale (first of the year). It was a good tour even without the whales. The crew will give you a lot of information about the islands and the animals. Would definitely do it again!

Best Boat Tour in Dingle! - The whole trip was professional and amazing. The boat captain was a true gent and very funny. Loved every second of it and it was thrilling bouncing over the waves. We saw dolphins, seal and stags. This is something I will never forget and it was the cherry on the cake for our week in Kerry.

A great value trip packed with views and laughs and wildlife - This tour is really good value for money. You get to see all the key places plus unexpected pleasures along the way. Declan, our guide was particularly generous and helpful and went out of his way to ensure that we saw a family of dolphins, puffins, a minky whale, the huge seal colony and all the views of the blasket islands including wild deer. His commentary was insightful and interesting to both adults and kids. I'm definitely going again!

Amazing, exhilarating and unforgettable! - We had the most amazing time on the rib which was great fun in itself! We toured all around the cliffs, out to the Blaskets taking in neighbouring islands. Beautiful scenery and the kids loved getting splashed by the dolphins, the puffins were a delight to see and the seals along the island’s coast. It was an unforgettable experience and you are truly out there in the wilds of the Atlantic. Do it!

Great Trip - The views were awe inspiring. We took lots of pictures. We had a relatively calm day and beautiful weather. We learned a lot about the Blasket islands and the surrounding area.
