Anna did a great job giving us a little history and background to the Dingle harbor. Twas super swelly on the boat but still had a good time learning about local wildlife.
Thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the trip and learning about Dingle’s history and wildlife. Hope to see you again!
We went on the boat trip last Wednesday. It was wonderful from start to finish! Our tour guide Dermot was so knowledgeable about the local area and it's history. He also took the time to stop and chat to people on the boat. We were rewarded with the sight of dolphins and whales! Dermot told us about the particular type of dolphins who were in the pod. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day! My 3 year old granddaughter loved to see the dolphins jumping! We will definitely book another tour! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you had such a wonderful trip and enjoyed seeing the dolphins and whales. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Dermot. We look forward to welcoming you back on board!
Excursion that provides a good approach to the bay.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the excursion and discovering the bay. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
We had a great time with Anna as our guide who is very knowledgeable on the history and geography of the land! The ride is 1 hour for a decent price and it's not too crowded. It's very relaxing and can be enjoyed by all ages :) Best part was the lucky whale sighting! Enjoyed the sights and the explanations from our guide were understandable by anyone regardless of prior knowledge 👍 Would recommend if you even have a slight interest in geography/history or even just enjoy nature or the sea :)
Hi there, we're delighted to hear to enjoyed your tour with us and found it informative and engaging for all the family, its always magic to see the whales so what a lovely surprise too! Thank you so much for your kind review, we really appreciate it and we hope too see you on board again soon
This was better than expected especially since we happened to see a group of dolphins frolicking in the bay again and again. The guide was very informative, providing historical facts on past dwellers and geographical formations and describing different buildings. It was packed but there is a toilet on board and it is covered. You won’t get wet but will want to wear a hat/sunglasses and sunscreen. Enjoy!
Hi Colleen, thank you so much for your generous review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your tour and found it informative and engaging. Hope to have you on board again in the future!

Hi Paul, thanks for your review! So happy to hear you enjoyed your tour and could experience some of our stunning wildlife. We hope to see you on board again soon
This tour is only an hour long, but they pack a lot of great information into the hour. Our guide was Anna, and she was exceptional. She had a wealth of knowledge and a fun delivery. The sea was rough on our tour, so we didn't go far out of the bay. Anna made up for that with great stories about various sights around the harbor. This is a tour you should take if you are in Dingle. One quick note: Arrive early! Parking is difficult to find. We arrived 30 minutes before our tour time and could not find parking. We missed our original tour and the tour company rebooked us for another tour later in the day (Thank you Dingle Boat Tours). We ended up parking a little over a mile from the pier for the second tour.
Hi there, thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it. We're so blessed with our amazing tour guides, and Anna has such a wealth of information, we're delighted to hear you enjoyed her stories. Thanks for your tip on the parking! It can be as total nightmare in Dingle in the summer so we alway recommend customers arrive with plenty time, we're just glad you made it on one of our tours in the end. Thanks again and we hope to see you on board again soon!
Well worth the time and money. The views were lovely and Anna was knowledgeable and friendly. Loved hearing about Dingle, the rocks and the birds.
Hi Kate, thank you for your kind review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your tour and got to see Dingle from on the water, its always a magical experience! Hope to have you on board again soon
We wanted to take a sea excursion but not too long with our 5 and 2.5-year-old children. Everything went very well, the crew was charming and the guide full of humor and interesting anecdotes. I recommend.
