Dingle Sea Safari - Rib boat tour in Dingle Bay





Description
Dingle Sea Safari has been voted the number one activity on the Dingle Peninsula. Our RIB boat takes you right along the wild coastline and out to the Blasket Islands, giving you an up close view of towering rock formations, hidden sea caves, and the iconic Slea Head landscape most visitors only glimpse from a distance.It's personal and immersive, with plenty of chances to interact with your captain. Wildlife is a big part of the trip. Depending on the season you might spot seals, puffins, dolphins, minke whales, and even red deer along the cliffs. Our experienced captains bring the coast to life with local history and geology. Founded in 2018 by lifelong local Dingle man Jimmy Flannery, who spent 37 years on these waters (including years showing visitors Fungie the dolphin), we're a genuine family business built on respect for the sea and this coastline. Fast, thrilling, and full of things to see, this is often the highlight of a Dingle visit.

Absolutely amazing boat trip in Dingle! We were lucky enough to see dolphins and even a whale, which made the experience truly unforgettable. The scenery was spectacular, but the highlight was definitely seeing these incredible animals in their natural environment. A huge thank you to Kevin, our skipper, who was fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. An amazing experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Dingle. Definitely one to remember! 🐬🐋⛵

We LOVED our experience on the Dingle Sea Safari!!! We rented a boat for our family of 10 (two sets of parents and 6 of our children, between 16-28). Our guide was Cian, an absolutely sweet local who graciously shared so his impressive knowledge about his home region and the ecosystem surrounding. We saw common and bottlenose dolphins, a minke whale, gray seals, tons of seabirds and the most amazing rock formations and caverns. We also saw the beautiful Blasket Islands and learned about their history. The ride on the boat was a thrill -- speedy and bumpy but totally doable for all ages. The seats on the boat are saddle style so you can stand when you go over bumps to ease the impact. The staff on land was insanely impressive -- outfitting our group of 10 (all of whom have VERY different body shapes and sizes) quickly and discretely and kindly. This is a first class operation and worth your investment and time. KUDOS! Can't wait to come back.

We had the best day ever on the Sea Safari. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable about the ocean, and our boat skimmed across the water with just enough clearance to make it exciting. Everyone had a blast, and we even made it out to Great Blasket Island for the rough run. Truly unforgettable.

We had a group of 10 on the open rib boat sea safari and we all loved it. Our original trip was booked for a Tuesday AM but they had to cancel due to weather conditions. They were able to rebook us on Monday afternoon. We would've preferred to keep an am time but we were happy we were still able to go. Our guide was excellent. He really tried to get us some wildlife sightings. While the animals weren't super active during our excursion, we did get to see some seals popping their heads out of the water, a few dolphins swimming by our boat and even a glimpse of a couple minke whales. Overall we really enjoyed our time on the Dingle sea safari and would recommend it to anyone.

Everyone said you have to do the Dingle Safari when in Dingle, and they were right. I had a great time on my safari. The boats were well taken care of and I felt safe at all times. You are outfitted in water clothes before departure, which was nice, because on the way back I ended up getting pretty wet. I brought my professional camera with, and was glad I had a waterproof bag to put it in. Our driver and guild was very knowledgeable and we had a great time seeing the amazing scenery and seeing the wildlife. Warning- for anyone that get seasick, make sure to take your medication before you go! I still got a little sick while out there, but worth it.

We had a fantastic time on the Dingle Sea Safari! I went with my son and my dad, and it was a brilliant experience for all three generations. The trip was exciting, enjoyable and a great way to see the stunning Dingle coastline from the sea. The crew were friendly, professional and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Dingle — we would definitely do it again! ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
