The best day of our holiday!! - What a brilliant day!! Our original trip was postponed cause of high winds and our rebooked date was in doubt for the same reason. The winds were dying and the sea was becoming calmer but was it happening quickly enough? I was impressed That the company had sent all three of their ribs out on a dummy run and the captain messaged while we were in the office to say that they would be able to go ahead. We donned our life jackets and met our skipper Kian, who helped us on board. Kian made us aware of the conditions, that a bit of it would be bumpy, but that as time went by the sea was calming. To be honest the bumpy bits were magic……bouncing off the waves!! Kian was fantastic - knowledgable, friendly and checking frequently that we were ok and that he could put the foot down. The tour was breathtaking. Fantastic coastal scenery, amazing birds, more seals than you could count and then, as we headed for home, an interaction with a pod of bottlenose dolphins…..they same right at our rib on two occasions…it was magical!! Well worth the private hire as the rib used offers more protection from the elements and you are not competing with other families for the best view. We were so glad this happened, highlight of our week in Kerry.

Very nice tour with knowledgeable Guide / Skipper - Very nice tour, where you have a super nice view of the cliffs and islands from the sea. We had Colm as Guide. He knew a lot about the special geology of the coast and about the seabirds / animals. He took his time with everything and was very patient. When we spotted dolphins and quickly went into hiding, he took extensive time to find them again. The tour is highly recommended!

A truly delightful experience! - It was our first time taking this Sea Safari and it did not disappoint one bit. They very kindly booked us for a previous day since the weather on the day of our booking wasn't going to be ideal. Not to forget, our captain Jimmy was a delight to sail with. He not only make the ride exciting and fun with his banter but made sure each one of us was comfortable through and through! The lovely weather added a nice touch to our trip. All the reviews I had read online about the Dingle Sea Safari are absolutely true as it is an experience that one shouldn't miss out on!

Incredible Dingle Blasket Island boat journey - Captain Jimmy was a wealth of information and shared local stories on our incredible boat ride. We saw seals, puffins, dolphins and a whale! Our whole family enjoyed this epic experience. We highly recommend Jimmy and Sea Safari!

Unforgettable Wonderful Experience! - This is the best thing we did in Dingle, thanks to our most knowledgeable, conscientious and careful boat captain, Jimmy Flannery, who is also a delight, and his lovely wife Bridgette. We saw the sandstone formations, coves, the Blasket islands and learned the history of the islands. We saw seals, dolphins, puffins and a whale. It was an unforgettable experience. The six of us highly recommend the Sea Safari.

Magical Views - Could not have imagined a better experience. Our boat captain Callum was exceptional. Gave great stories and got us up close and personal with amazing cliff and cave views as well as glorious views of seals, puffin, and dolphins. Was a gorgeous weather day, not a single drop of water got on us, and every single view we had was fantastic. Truly worth every Euro spent to see the coast of Ireland like this.

A highlight of our trip! Just outstanding...Thank you! - What a great experience and we almost didn't get to go! The private safari tour with our Skipper Cian and the Mr. B was a highlight our our week in Ireland. Traveling to Dingle from Doolin and Galway we looked forward to our planned trip with the Sea Safari team. The other reviews were excellent and our tour lived up to them. We had so much fun with Cian on the boat - riding alongside dolphins, seals and puffins - so many puffins! But, we almost missed it...Thank you so much to the booking agents! They were outstanding and reached out to us proactively to let us know that the weather forecast at our scheduled time was not great and asked if we could get there sooner for our tour...not an hour early but two days early! In our case, we could adjust and obviously had a great time. But if it wasn't for the booking agents getting in touch the way they did, we would have missed it. What a responsive team and I can;t recommend the experience enough. Thank you, Thank you!
