Fantastic experience

Had a great experience and time on the morning tour! Got to see 2 types of dolphins and Minke whale. I'd never seen any type of whale before so I was delighted. I like the fact that the boat was a bigger size than the other boat options from dingle like sea safari. It felt safer and we didn't have to wear any provided rain gear or life jackets (unless going to the rib for transfer). Really enjoyed the information and had great fun. We took sea-sickness tablets before which was a great move for when it was a bit more choppy near the great blanket island. Great value for money. Tip: Very warm clothes and sunscreen needed!

An unforgettable experience

It was all very well organized. The guide had a huge knowledge of life at and in the sea and could infect with his enthusiasm. We have seen so many dolphins, whales and seals. An unforgettable experience!

Extraordinary

Extraordinary! On August 11, 2025, we saw seals, dolphins and whales! The guide helped us get on and off the boat and made the effort to help us understand his explanations despite the language barrier.

Great experience

The tour was an absolute success. We watched Dolphins, Minke whales, seals and lots of seabirds in their natural habitat. John was a great guide and provides inside knowledge of the animals, the landscape and the country.
