Fantastic day trip - What a spectacular day! The tour was wonderful itself but seeing bottlenose and common dolphins as well as sea lions and basking sharks was unbelievable. The captain took time to make sure we had a extensive dolphin experience. Then on the way back he pulled into a cove and let everyone have time to take their pictures. It was a truly awesome tour. At the end, the tour guide even played his accordion which was lovely. All around 5 star day and highlight of our entire trip to Ireland.

A three hour tour...lol - Nuada was our guide and Bruce was our captain. Both were fantastic. Nuada was knowledgeable and funny while Bruce was a great captain, able to get us close to dolphins, seals, and sharks without scaring them giving us plenty of opportunities to see the wildlife. Highly recommended!

Boat to Blasket Islands - Greatly enjoyed. Scenery was beautiful, despite some rainy moments. Saw several dolphins and seals. Captain managed boat with ease. Even pulled over to another to let us listen to their accordian player for a moment.

10 star boat tour. - This tour was the best money I've spent in an awful long time. From start to finish. The guide, especially , the skipper, the lady in the office all fantastic. The views were just awesome, dramatic, beautiful. We saw Dolphins and Seals along with Cormorants. The weather was bipolar but we just went inside for the rain and out again for the views, but by the time we got home we were all so spellbound that we had stood in the rain too. The trip was that good. I'm bad with names so apologies to the fantastic guide but not only did he tell us everything about the trip and the wildlife and islands but gave hints on the buslink(drinklink) , walks, cafes, drives, places to see. And he was constantly drying the seats for us, all with a smile. Thank you Dingle Dolphin Boat Tours for a fantastic day.

Beautiful coastal and dolphins tour - A great tour of Irish coastal history with a lovely guide. Meant to be 3hrs but captain spent extra time trying to find us dolphins! We got to see them in the end, so this turned out to be perfect! 🐬

Too rough for sensitive stomachs and children - Wednesday was a beautifully sunny day, typical coastal winds, temp in the 50’s. First hour started off well, then the side to side rolling started to sicken some of our 25 passengers. One oversized swell strongly jarred the boat sent some items (and nearly a woman passenger) across the floor. Teenagers donned life jackets. Yes we sheltered in the beach of Blasket and saw the large group of seals. Also present were hikers exploring the island from the ferry (we do not land there). It was a rocky trip home, but the captain and crew got us back safely without further incident. They were very kind. We know we are at the mercy of the Atlantic- but this was not what our group signed up for. We’ll stay on land.

Not worth almost losing your life - This was the most terrifying experience I’ve ever had. The boat was SO close to tipping and we barely got to see anything. Kids were crying and many were beyond sick and throwing up. Someone could have easily fallen off the boat and died. No life jackets were taken out for our protection. It’s very disappointing to pay 85 dollars to be in terror and fear for our lives. They should’ve been better judges with rough seas.
