Amazing dolphin encounter

We went on the 2hr eco tour on Monday 22nd June. From the very start it was amazing, The girl in the office was so knowledgeable and helped us choose which tour would suit us best. It was a very smooth trip. Taking in all the cliffs on the way out towards the blaskets. The guide was very chatty but needs to brush up on her history and geography. Newgrange is not in Dublin, it is in Co.Meath, and the Vikings were not piratey pirates. We were lucky enough to see a seal, some sea birds, and then on our way back a pod of dolphins and a Minke whale. It was great that the captain stayed around the pod for a good length of time so we got to enjoy seeing them in the wild. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Dingle, and we would recommend the tour 100%.

Fabulous a must do in Dingle

Cant recommend this company enough. We had storms for the actual day we had booked so they contacted us and we were given plenty of options to choose from. We booked the next day and were so glad, we had great weather and the staff especially the guide were brilliant. We saw loads of dolphins swimming in front of the boat and various birds but we loved the puffins especially. The guide was interesting, had facts about the wildlife, history of the area, etc and was very easy to talk to, he even went around the boat and spoke to everyone. This is a definite must do in Dingle, such stunning scenery too.

Excellent boat tour

I can't recommend the Mini-Eco tour through the Dingle Dolphin Boat Tours enough. The tour was about two hours and left from the pier right next to the main parking lot for Dingle Town. Cuan was our guide, narrating the cruise; answering questions; spotting wildlife; and taking care of the passengers. He did an excellent job balancing these many responsibilities and did a great job. I did not catch the name of the Captain, however, he knew just where to sail. We saw tons of puffins, several gannets, cormorants, a possible seal, and many dolphins. The Captain safely sailed the vessel to allow the pods of dolphins to stay with us for much of the second half of the tour. In addition to the marine life, the views from the bay of the Dingle Peninsula were amazing. Definitely book this tour.

The dolphins have found us.

The guide, with a Swiss mother, was very engaged and shared a lot of exciting and interesting information about the history, the region, and sealife. He was intensely in the lookout and directed the captain perfectly to the dolphins. We would book again.
