We went on the 2 hour boat ride in August to see dolphins and wildlife. We had originally booked it for two days ago but it was very choppy and for everyone safety they postponed for us. We went today and we were super lucky as the weather was grand, a bit choppy but not dangerous, the tour guide was extremely informative and charismatic and we managed to see dolphins too. I will suggest for anyone that suffers from motion sickness to take a sea sickness pill as there were some people that got very sick on our boat.
We had a great time on our mini eco tour. We saw lots of dolphins, whales, and gorgeous coastline. The guide and captain were locals and the guide was very informative. Lovely little boat tour, definitely recommend.
Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re delighted you had such a good time out on the water with us. It sounds like you got a great little taste of Dingle Bay, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the trip. We’ll pass your kind words on to the crew. Thanks for recommending us, and we hope to see you back in Dingle again!
Brilliant experience! The lady in the kiosk was chatty and helpful, the young man was so interesting sharing his knowledge, it was obvious he loved what he did and the captain was so kind letting the little children help him steer. It was exciting watching the dolphins swim with the boat. Thank you.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the whole experience, from the welcome at the kiosk to getting out on the water.

Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you back in Dingle again.

Excellent! It took a while to find the dolphins but the crew persisted and we caught them towards the end. Once we did, they latched onto our boat and stuck with us, leaping out of the water. The scenery off the coast is lovely too.
Thank you so much for the great review! We’re delighted the patience paid off and you finally got your dolphin encounter. Those moments when the dolphins decide to stick around the boat and put on a little show are pretty special. It sounds like they certainly made you wait for it, but gave you a great finish to the trip! We’re so glad you enjoyed the coastline too, and we hope to welcome you back to Dingle again.
Great boat trip! Very well organised and safe with a knowledgeable crew. The scenery was spectacular and we were lucky enough to spot both dolphins and whales.

Lovely tour of the bay! Saw lots of dolphins. Guide and captain were very sweet with our ten year old’s endless questions!
