Traveler reviews
Even better than the pub!!
Absolutely amazing day!! Our family just came back from a day out that will live and be cherished in our collective memory forever. Glistening sea, unreal scenery, lovely chatty knowledgeable crew, frolicking Dolphins, beautiful historic Blasket Islands - including swimming in turquoise water on a paradise beach, Seals, Minke Wales just off the boat, Porpoises, more dolphins (2 species!) . . . Was literally a perfect day out!!! Thanks to all the crew!
A world with another time
Wonderful, enchanting tour, just too short due to hard wind
Brilliant day trip
Brilliant day. The crew were so great. We saw so many whales, dolphins and seals.
Don’t Miss this Trip!
What a wonderful experience! We had a really great day out with Rachel, our guide and Vincent, our skipper at the end of July. Rachel was an incredibly passionate and informative guide who shared her extensive knowledge of the marine life, sea bird life & local history of the Blaskets with an infectious enthusiasm & joy. We enjoyed every minute and felt the 4 hour trip was just right. We even saw a minke whale, which was an unexpected treat! The departure from Ventry pier (a short drive beyond Dingle) is very easy and convenient and there’s a great pub for dinner afterwards (plus we swam at the beach).
Amazing experience!...
Amazing experience! Definitely stop at blasket island. John and Emma were amazing on the princess boat from ventry pier. They were knowledgeable and caring. Everyone should love what they do as much as John and Emma. The scenery was stunning and we saw minke whales, dolphins, puffins and deer on another island from shore. The island is the highlight and we sat up on the grassy ledge and watched the seals.
