10 out of 10

Fantastic trip. I nearly didn’t book because it is quite expensive. What I found was that it was good value given the length of the trip, what we saw and how close the rib could get to the cliffs. Birds, seals and Dolphins and wonderful rock formations. Crew were really professional- full waterproof gear plus lifejackets so we were comfortable and dry. 10 out of 10 - my son and I would definitely go again if we get a chance

Amazing trip around the Blasket Islands

We had an amazing afternoon exploring the Blasket Islands by boat. Nathan our captain was superb - sharing his local knowledge and exposing the behaviour of the dolphins & minke whales that we saw. Fabulous and memorable. Thank you!

Great fun for the family that offered food value and a different experience.

Great experience. I have been visiting Dingle for many years, this is one of the best things we have done. We even got to see a whale and some other sea life.

Thank you David !

A huge thank you to David for an absolutely unforgettable trip out at sea! We loved every single minute of it. David took us right up close to the caves, with an ease and experience that put you at ease straight away — he knows exactly where he’s going. And above all, he has a real passion for showing you the wildlife while always respecting it, never getting too close. The result: we saw both dolphins and seals — a truly magical moment. Beyond all that, David is lovely. He told us loads of fascinating stories, looked after us brilliantly, and everything was perfectly organised — even the wet-weather gear. Nothing is left to chance. If you’re on the fence: just go for it, and ask for David. It’s thanks to him that this trip will stay one of our best memories. Thank you again!

What an experience

What a trip on Blasket Island Sea Life Tour’s from Dingle Co Kerry along the cost on to the Blasket Islands and back across the wonderful Dingle Bay. Captain David knows the area so well, not just the history and scenery but where to find all the wildlife, we saw Gannets, Cormorants, Seals, Razorbill, Common Dolphins and beautiful Minke whales. What a trip, what an experience.

Don’t Leave Dingle without Getting out in the Water!

Fantastic trip out to the islands. Our trip to Dingle would not have been complete without this very interesting tour of the history, flora and fauna that we were able to experience. We were warm and comfortable in August, the equipment they provided would have kept us warm even on the cold days. I loved seeing the puffins, fledgling seagulls, the minke whale and dolphin and seals. The island’s history and beauty remarkable. Highly recommend.

Well worth it

We joined Nathan on the La Nua and it was a fantastic few hours. Nathan was very informed with lots of history and geography of the local area. Amazing scenery and wildlife including dolphins, seals and whales as well as a look at the majestic native deer. Staff in the office were friendly, helpful and organised. All round a great experience

Best experience of our holiday!

The best! David took us out for longer than scheduled, and we saw so much! He talked about the history, geology, marine life… The tour felt intimate. There were only the three of us in the front, Captain David in the middle, and maybe 8-10 people in the back. The boat goes fast, and the seats are a saddle style, so it was a bit of a thrill ride, which we weren’t expecting- but we loved! We were laughing and having so much fun! My mom who cannot walk well and has had knee and hip replacements was with us, and she enjoyed the thrilling ride as well! We saw jellyfish in a cove, then seals on and around the island. We saw puffins on August 7, even though many people told us they’d be gone by now. On the way back to Dingle, David spotted either dolphins or whales, and it turned out to be both! We stayed there for an extended time to watch a family of four minke whales and a pod of dolphins feeding. Such a great experience, and so glad we found a small, family owned tour to support!

Best experience in Dingle

We had an amazing experience with Blasket Island Sea Life Tours! My girlfriend and I enjoyed every minute of the trip. Everything was perfect from the very beginning. A special thanks to Caolan in the office, who was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole booking and check-in process smooth and easy. Nathan, our skipper, was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable, shared lots of interesting information throughout the tour, and his boating skills made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time. The scenery and wildlife were unforgettable, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Blasket Island Sea Life Tours to anyone visiting Dingle. Thank you for a wonderful day!
