Lovely experience - We were a group of four, and we loved it. First, communication with Mick (the organizer) was easy. He was always available to answer all our questions and was very kind in adjusting to our circumstances. Second, they never take people out to sea in bad weather—quality over quantity. Third, the crew is amazing. You can tell they are genuinely interested in marine life, sharing stories on the boat. They are also happy to share even more if you're eager to know more. We saw stunning landscapes, plenty of bird species, dolphins, and seals. It was exciting to stay on the top deck, where you had to hold onto the rails to keep your balance. Many thanks for this experience!

Fantastic and pleasant - Unforgettable trip, in a small family boat allowing exchange and meeting. Accompanied by the Guide and the boat captain really friendly and passionate we had explanations throughout the ride about history and nature. We were treated to very beautiful views of seals, dolphin deer and whales. We leave adults and children with memories full of heads and beautiful encounters! Many thanks to you

School tour 2024 - Thanks to all at Eco Marine Tours! Took a school group on their morning tour this week. Both John and Vincent were absolutely fantastic with the boys in explaining about the local marine life and made a real effort to look for dolphins which were fortunate to see. Would highly recommend these trips for small school groups. I'd also like to say a final thank you to Mick, who helped organise this. Cheers Liam Presentation Monastery NS, Killarney.
