Amazing Boat Experience
Loved this trip. Was amazing, little cold but we got given spray jackets and pants, our guide was wonderful giving us info at each stop and tried it best to get us to see some Dolphins. Which we did get to see a whole bunch at the end. We saw Puffins, Seals, other birds as well as two different types of Dolphins. Was incredible and would recommend to anyone who is heading on a day trip to Dingle. Was a small group of people and definitely worth your money. Make sure you bring layers tho!!!

A fantastic boat trip.
A great rib boat experience. Had wonderful weather which helped.
Seeing dolphins and minky whales was an added extra.
Wet weather gear was supplied and even in this very sunny day was needed. Equipment was in good condition.
Good value for an almost 3 hr boat trip.
Atmosphere was fun and friendly.
Staff very helpful, knowledgeable and welcoming, in office and on boat.
Loved learning about the Blaskets Island and their history.
Suitable for families with older children, couples and solos.
Our boat was fully booked, so book ahead if interested.
Overall a fantastic experience. Fingers crossed you will also see dolphins jumping.
