What people are saying
about our experience

  • Dingle Sea Safari was an awesome experience. We went a little too early in the season to experience a ton of wildlife, but Captain Colm made sure to give us a great showing of the puffin, seals, and other wildlife that were around. The sights and seas alone were enough to make it a great adventure. And Colm’s sharing of history and geology of the area were a great addition. Colm made operating his boat look like a piece of cake in the seemingly intense North Atlantic. 10/10 would recommend

  • This tour is excellent. The staff and skipper were extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was brand new and very comfortable. We were provided with additional clothing that kept us warm and dry (even when it rained). We saw loads of wildlife including seals, dolphins and puffins, with lots of time to take in the beautiful scenery all along the coast as far as the Blasket Islands. I would absolutely recommend this to other travellers. Worth every cent!

  • Did a sea safari on Easter Sunday. A day out well worth doing. There was lots to see for families and couples. Really enjoyed the wildlife. We saw seals, puffins and mink whales. The boat was fast and exciting but comfortable. The skipper was great and had loads of facts and figures along with funny stories. This is a must do if you are visiting Dingle.

  • Incredible tour on Sunday with Dingle Safari. The tour takes you along the rugged coastline around Dingle Bay and around the Blasket islands. We got to see seals, puffins, red deer, and a Minke Whale calf. Colum’s knowledge and passion for the environment and love the area made the trip so memorable.

  • Our experience on Dingle Sea Safari was so much fun!! The boat ride was exhilarating, the scenery we saw close up was magnificent, and our captain Sean was wonderful — knowledgeable, full of facts and stories, and committed to making sure we avoided the weather and had the best experience possible. We saw lots of wildlife, including many many curious seals and puffins. They provided warm wet weather gear which was very welcome and helpful. Would do this again in a heartbeat.
