My perfect day - The company was very flexible and accommodating, Captain Jimmy handled our 5 boys (ages 7-12) perfectly. Our favorite excursion so far! I was very nervous about sea sickness. All 9 in our group were totally fine. It was definitely big waves, but it was much more of a thrill ride than just the general rocking motion that sneaks up on you.

Dingle Sea Safari - Highlight of our trip to Ireland! - Yesterday we went on an amazing tour of the Dingle Peninsula from the water and the Blasket Islands with Dingle Sea Safari. We went out with Jimmy, who impressed us with his deep knowledge of Ireland’s history and his genuine love for his country, the wildlife, and the environment. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, penguins, humpback and minke whales, and my favorite — the adorable puffins. Truly the highlight of our trip to Ireland and an unforgettable experience!

Awesome sea tour! - Weather didn’t look like it would cooperate but fog lifted and we got out with captain Jimmy. Fantastic tour! Saw seals, puffins, dolphins and minke whales and then in the way in a humpback was spotted so Jimmy diverted us for a sighting. Couldn’t recommend this tour more. It deserves the #1 rating.

Must-see boat ride - Extraordinary, we had a wonderful time and we could enjoy a splendid view of flora and fauna. Seeing the dolphins so numerous and so ready was fabulous. The staff was amazingly kind. One of our best experiences in Ireland.

Fantastic! - Fantastic trip with Mikey today. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our tour of Dingle Bay. He also was very knowledgeable about the area and able to help us view dolphins, seal and various birds including the beautiful puffins!
We would highly recommend booking with this company!

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!
