An incredible adventure!...

An incredible adventure! We saw quite a few (very playful and curious) seals and learned a lot. The guides were knowledgeable, patient, and flexible, and they took safety very seriously. They did everything they could to make sure everyone had the best experience possible. Highly recommend!

Buyer Beware - HORRIBLE COMMUNICATION!

We were very disappointed, BUYER BEWARE, no excuse for our inconvenience. The tour guide and Trip advisor had all our contact information. We traveled ninety minutes one way by foot and train from Dublin to the harbor of Dalky. The safari was canceled by the vendor. NO ONE contacted us. You had my email, my phone number NO ONE; Trip Advisor, Viator, the vender, took the time to communicate the cancelation. It was an absolute waste of my time! May 11, 2026 Brian Smallcombe (2) was our reservation.

Seals were cute. Fun and factual.

Great way to view Dublin through a different perspective. Amazing fun and we saw plenty of seals! Our guide Phil was great too, had lots of facts about the bay and was very happy to help. Cannot recommend anymore. 5 stars!!!!!

Great fun!

Great way to spend an afternoon and brilliant to be able to see the seals up close. Jenny and Amy were great guides. Lots of fun would definitely recommend

The best way to spend some time in Dalkey <3

This was an amazing experience! It was my first time visiting Ireland, and both tour guides made sure it was a day to remember. I've never had the chance to see seals that close, and I was able to take a great video of a baby seal pup coming up to my kayak :) Altogether it was a great time, I highly recommend - 5/5 stars
