Amazing trip, saw many dolphins - We booked a dolphin watching tour and had an amazing trip. My 7 year old boy loved it. We saw many dolphins and admired the coastline of the Dingle Peninsula. The booking process was so easy going. I would recommend this trip to everyone

Amazing views from the sea - We really enjoyed the bout trip! We learnt a lot about Dingle history and we could enjoy the beautiful views and and landscapes of the most amazing corner of the Emerald Island. We liked also the girl (Laura, I think) giving the speech during the trip. Very nice and funny about the history of Dingle.

Turas álainn stairiúil i lár nádúr na haite - Bhí am den chéad scoth againn ar turas seo. Tá cúigear gasúir againn o aois 4 go 10 agus bhain siad uilig an taitneamh as. I lar anturas chonaic an tiomanaí go raibh miolta móra agus deilfeanna le feiceáil níos faide amach sa bhá agus thóg sé díreach ansin muid. Bhí Cáitlín an treoirí an-eolach agus Gaeilge álainn aici chomh maith. Molaim go mora tures!

nice hour on the bay - Nice tour of Dingle Bay, with a some historical references but a lot of info about fungie the dolphin. Make sure to sit on the Starboard (right) side of the boat for the best views of the cliffs on the way out since the boat does not sail close enough to the cliffs on the way back to get as good a view from the port side.

Dolphin Discovery Eco Tour in Dingle, Ireland - We took the Dolphin Discovery Eco Tour via Dingle Boat Tours. We just didn’t see many dolphins though people on the other side of the boat saw many. Not sure why Captain of boat, didn’t swing around so people on both sides had opportunity to see dolphins. Also, the guide was not nearly as good as other guides we have had for this type of excursion. We actually saw more dolphins when leaving ports on the ship than on this excursion. So I can’t really recommend this experience. (Did want to mention that Dingle is lovely and charming and I would highly recommend the city to anyone planning a trip to Ireland.)
