Was worth the price of the ticket without seeing the dolphin, but we did see him. The views of Dingle harbor are great. It is amazing how the dolphin will come up an play around. When we went there was an individual (a dolphin whisper?) who was interacting with Fungi. It as just like something you see at Sea World,... More

My sis and I took the one-hour tour of Dingle Bay with a bunch of other tourists in hopes of getting a little glimpse of Fungie, the dolphin who took up residence in the harbor years ago. We really just expected a nice boat ride, but were just as thrilled as the French kids on the boat with us when... More

I had the chance to meet the family that operates this business at the Marina Inn the night before. They are very friendly and welcoming! The tour was exciting and Fungie was curious and hung out for a while. Thanks again Bridgett, Jill, and Jimmy! You helped make Dingle the highlight of my trip to Ireland!

It had a sheltered area to protect from the wind or rain plenty of seating outside with canopy covering over it,there also was... More

We took the Fungie tour twice in one week, it is so lovely to see Fungie up close - really beautiful, my boys were so excited to see a dolphin in the wild (and he realy is wild - the frst trip he was hard to spot because he was fishing). The crew of the boats give you some great... More

A group of us headed for Dingle for the day. We got a boat out to see Fungi the Dolphin, it was a lovely day and the sea was calm enough. We were out for a while before Fungi decided to pop up to see us!!!! The scenery was amazing and we also got some lovely shots of Fungi swimming... More

We went to Dingle on good friday to see Fungi. It was a really bitterly cold day. There was probably 14 people on board a lovely boat called "suaimhneas" and we didn`t have to travel too far before we spotted Fungi. He appeared and circled the boat for ages, he then went off and we searched around for him and... More

This tour was included in our trip package and we were thankful it was. Dingle was about an hour from our hotel, but the drive was beautiful along the coast and through the country. Dingle is such a nice little fishing town. There was only 2 other people with my boyfriend and I on the boat tour, so we had... More
