Self drive boat
This is a fun activity for kids to drive these boats in a safe harbour area. It's not a sight seeing activity but it is lots of fun.

Fun Experience
Fabulous activity with the family. Even our 11 year old captained the boat and did Miami Vice on us though she doesn’t have a clue what Miami Vice is(was). Staff are very pleasant, helpful and humorous too. Motors are strong enough to give you a thrill but not powerful enough to be dangerous.

Funky pink boat = fun pink boat!
Great fun, especially that the kids are allowed to steer the boat as well once inside the designated area! Make sure to wear waterproof gear, you do get splashed!

Funky pink boats Dingle
Myself and my partner had great fun out on the water in Dingle driving our own Funky Pink Boat on a bank holiday Monday. Its really simple to drive so we both took turns. Our instructor gave us a full demo before we headed off. He guided us out of the Marina and then we were free to do our own thing within the parameters. He stayed in eyesight incase we had any difficulties which we did not. We had so much fun out on the water and I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for something new to do at the weekend. Also wear waterproof clothing and definitely put on the free poncho provided as even if its not raining you will get splashed. Thanks a bunch to Felim our instructor 👏🏻👏🏻

An hour well spent
An absolutely brilliant way to entertain young kids for an hour, the thrills of delight of the girls getting to captain the boat was worth the cost. Highly recommended.

A nice time out on the water.
It was so nice to get out on the water and drive around without someone talking to you all the time. There was a security boat out with you if you had questions you could go up to them and ask. The hour was plenty of time. It was me and my 8 year old and it was a highlight for both of us. The service at dingle boat tours was amazing. The day we went out the water was calm but it was rainy and they offered to allow us to cancel and get a refund. We were already wet so decided to go and boy did we luck out. The minute we stepped foot in the boat the rain stopped and the sun came out. I would recommend Dingle Boat Tour and the funky pink boats.

You have to book this if you're visiting Dingle!
This was an absolutely fantastic experience. Both our girls(2 and 4 years old) got a chance to drive the boat. They haven't stopped talking about it since! Feidhlim and all staff were amazing. 1 hour was perfect for us. Looking forward to booking again in the future!
