Great family - A very nice boat trip. We were there with my husband my 2 daughters (13 and 15 years old) and myself. We saw beautiful landscapes, we were among dolphins, we also saw seals and lots of birds. The weather was not mild and despite that the release was great, the loaned waterproof clothes are perfect. We speak poor English so we could not take full advantage of all the explanations but despite this the outing was loved by the whole family.

Awe inspiring coastal tour in fab boat with a great skipper - The day of our tour was wet and dull and the tour staff were apologetic but in the end we’d a magical experience that will stay with us as long as we live. We are regular visitors to Dingle and this was our fourth time to do this trip over the years and each time it’s different and we learn or experience something new, Due to the conditions we skipped a lot of the coastal history stuff (heavy mist/rain) and headed straight to more open water where we saw puffins, many dolphins, even more seals and several minke whales. We also toured around the Blasket islands and stunning cathedral rocks. Our friendly, funny and knowledgeable skipper was a treat and passed on lots of stories and information that was new to us even though we’d done this trip before. An important reason we love this trip is it appeals to all ages and interests. Our teens loved it as much as we did. It has something for everyone: the adventurous, the history buff, the nature lover and the linguist. They even kit you out in great wet gear. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Amazing!! - Unforgettable!! Whales, dolphins, seals, 1000’s of beautiful puffins, and many other sea birds. Great history and other tales from Declan. An exhilarating boat ride along the cliffs, around the islands, and through the sea.

Rib Boat Tour of the Dingle Peninsula - This tour is awesome! The views, landscapes, and sea life and indescribable. None of my pictures do it any justice - so you will have to trust me and just go!! This tour was one of the best things I have done in Ireland. Decklan was driver/guide and he was fun and informative. The staff at Dingle Boat Tours was wonderful. Viator was so easy yo book through and I have never had an issue - my name was on every list and all the instructions were true!

Best attraction we did! - This boat tour was amazing! We saw dolphins, minke whale, seals, and Puffins! I was worried I would get seasick, but I didn’t (a me problem I know). I took this tour with my adult son who said it has been his favorite thing we have done in Ireland thus far! The captain was knowledgeable and shared some great history with us.

The highlight in Ireland for adventurous nature lovers. - A fascinating 2.5 hr adventure. Fast-paced speedboat ride, jumping over the waves - the children liked this best - to the wonderful island beaches where we saw the breeding grounds of the seagulls, the sunbeds of the sea lions, flocks of puffins and in the water we were surrounded by dolphins. Even a small whale showed up for a brief moment. The skipper tells interesting and funny facts during the many observation breaks. The whole team is very friendly and fulfills all wishes.

One of the worst RIB boat experiences of my life - This was one of the worst RIB boat tours of my life. We hardly saw any wildlife, let alone any whales. The waterproof clothing did nothing to help, my clothes were completely soaked thru. Don’t let the nice weather fool you, the waves were incredibly choppy I was holding on for dear life the whole time. It got to a point a few of the other passengers were seasick. I’ve been on other RIB boat rides and know to expect the waves and the salt, but this was like no other, my eyes were burning and everything was dangerously slippery. It was seriously uncomfortable and I was left crying most of the time with the vomiting going on behind me and the choppy waves to the lack of wildlife even spotted. If you are wanting to whale watch or even see decent wildlife, I would highly advise against choosing this trip
