  • 5Fabulous boat trip!

    We went on the boat trip last Wednesday. It was wonderful from start to finish! Our tour guide Dermot was so knowledgeable about the local area and it's history. He also took the time to stop and chat to people on the boat. We were rewarded with the sight of dolphins and whales! Dermot told us about the particular type of dolphins who were in the pod. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day! My 3 year old granddaughter loved to see the dolphins jumping! We will definitely book another tour! Thank you!

  • 5Dingle Fungie Experience

    We had a great time with Anna as our guide who is very knowledgeable on the history and geography of the land! The ride is 1 hour for a decent price and it's not too crowded. It's very relaxing and can be enjoyed by all ages :) Best part was the lucky whale sighting! Enjoyed the sights and the explanations from our guide were understandable by anyone regardless of prior knowledge 👍 Would recommend if you even have a slight interest in geography/history or even just enjoy nature or the sea :)

  • 5Nice jaunt through the bay

    This was better than expected especially since we happened to see a group of dolphins frolicking in the bay again and again. The guide was very informative, providing historical facts on past dwellers and geographical formations and describing different buildings. It was packed but there is a toilet on board and it is covered. You won’t get wet but will want to wear a hat/sunglasses and sunscreen. Enjoy!

About Dingle

Dingle is a brightly painted harbour town on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, with music pubs, Irish-speaking villages and wild Atlantic scenery.

Dingle, An Daingean in Irish, is a small fishing harbour on the Dingle Peninsula in the south-west of Ireland, in a district where Irish is still spoken in daily life. Its streets of painted shopfronts run up from the harbour, and in the evenings the pubs fill with traditional music sessions. Fishing boats still unload at the pier, and seafood is the town's trade.
