This was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I highly recommend it. Our tour guide, Jimmy, was extremely knowledgeable and fun! We went into a sea cave, learned about the geology/history of Dingle and The Blasket Islands and also got to see Puffins, Dolphins, and Seals. The wildlife was great, but to be honest we would’ve enjoyed this tour even if we didn’t see any animals. The covered, private boat was definitely worth the extra money as Jimmy was able to cater to us exclusively and gave up plenty of time to take pictures/move about the boat.

What an experience! Cannot recommend dingle sea safari enough, we had the best craic with our skipper Jimmy. The boat trip was the perfect balance of history about the peninsula and surrounding islands and plenty of banter and fun!
Even as a group of Kerry locals, the breathtaking views never get old and this bucket list experience is a must do for all tourists to Kerry. We went on the dingle sea safari on a beautiful summers day in July. We were lucky enough to see dolphins and puffins on our trip.
Would highly recommend this tour, especially the private tour for larger groups. Felt very safe with COVID measures taken, all life jackets were sanitized before and after the tour and there was sanitizer on board.
The highlight of our weekend in Dingle, amazing memories - we will be back!

Jimmy and Abby provided a wonderful outing for us today. They really went above and beyond to ensure we had the best chance to view wildlife and boy did we !! We saw puffins, seals and then on the return journey we saw a rare bait bomb with dolphins, fin whales, humpbacked whales and minke whales.
Jimmy was also very knowledgeable about the geology and history of the the area. A very memorable trip and so special to have the boat to ourselves. Thank you!

We had an amazing trip yesterday on the sea safari in Dingle. We hired a private rib which fit 7 of us very comfortably. Our guide Cathal was brilliant and very informative. We had heard that there were whales in the area so he took us straight out to give us the best chance of seeing them and we were glad he did. We got to watch and follow an amazing whale who put on a show as well as dolphins, seals and plenty more. Would give this tour a 10 out of 10. Our life jackets were sanitised before use and there was hand sanitiser on board.

One word to describe today's sea Safari experience.. WOW! It was an amazing experience, topped off by seeing a pod of dolphins, 2 minky whales and we even saw Fungi! Our captain, Jimmy, had lots of interesting bits of knowledge about the geology of the cliffs, the local history and a few fun facts about the Star Wars filming in the area. Jimmy was funny & friendly, going out of his way to ensure we saw the pod of dolphins and the whales! We were so lucky to be able to see the animals but even if we hadn't spotted them, the tour itself would have still been fantastic with cool caves, fun stories & lots of waves! Would recommend to anyone!

The staff upgraded our experience to A private tour to accommodate us when weather forced the cancellation of the original trip. It was informative, interactive and Skipper Jim’s sense of humour kept us amused. We saw seals, dolphins and minke whales in addition to leaning about the stunning history and geography of the Dingle Peninsula. Two thumbs up!

Jimmy brought out a group of seven of us on a wonderful trip past Dingle harbour and beyond the Blaskets to see some dolphins and minky whales. We also stopped at caves and Jimmy had a great stories to keep us entertained as we made our way from spot to spot. The boat was super comfortable and smooth! A very enjoyable experience well worth doing!

What a fantastic trip we had last weekend with the most informative guide ever, Jimmy. I can highly recommend this Blasket Island's trip. Took about 3 hours in total, amazing views of the Dingle peninsula and the Blaskets and then up close experiences of seals, dolphins and an incredible 10 minutes with a minke whale.
The youngest in our group was 12 with teenagers and adults and all thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

I can’t recommend this enough. We were originally booked on public open top trip but weather caused it to be cancelled. The private trip was brilliant and ideal on a slightly overcast day. We saw sea caves and arches and a seal colony on the blaskets. The highlight was multiple whale sightings. We’ve done 5hour whale watching trips and not seen half as much whale activity. The captain Sean was excellent. He was knowledgable, funny and very friendly. We will go again.
