Hen Party - We booked this 1 hour boat tour for a hen party with 30 people. From the very start on email Gill and Bob were so helpful and answered any questions we had. We were able to bring on our own drink and they let us connect our phone to the Bluetooth to play music. We were so lucky with the weather and the views were absolutely stunning around Dingle Bay. We were also extremely lucky with our skipper Gary and tour guide Bren, who played us a few tunes on the accordion on the way back into Dingle. They were both so easy going and up for the craic, it was great! I would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about hiring the boat as a private charter and the price was excellent also. Thanks again to all!

Held hostage by dolphins, a whale and a accordion. 10/10 would suffer again - From the moment we boarded the boat in Dingle, it was clear we were in for a ride. Our guide (who we are 87% sure was a time-traveling sea wizard) knew everything there is to know about the Dingle area – history, geography, dolphin gossip, you name it. No sooner had we left the cliffs than BAM – dolphins. Not one, not two, but a full dolphin squadron doing synchronized swimming like they’d rehearsed it just for us. I don’t know what kind of fishy bribes this tour company is handing out, but it worked. AND THEN – a whale. Just casually cruising by like it was late for a meeting. Unbelievable. But the real showstopper? On the way back, this legend of a guide WHIPPED OUT AN ACCORDION. Who even hasthat skill combo? Marine biologist, historian, and traveling accordion bard? I’ve seen less talent on Netflix. 10/10

Worth it! - This was a lovely way to spend an hour on the water in Dingle. It was a quick way to learn about the area and see the cliff views from a different perspective. I definitely recommend!

Great family memories, close-up views and history. - Great tour in the Dingle bay and along the Cliffs. Brandon gave us interesting insights about the area and its heritage. Capt. Sean displayed great seamanship in handling the boat as close as we could to the cliffs. A beautiful family memory, well worth the price of the tickets, with amazing cordion play by Brandon on our way back to the harbour! Thank you Dingle Dolphion tours!

Beautiful, fun, and informative - Do not miss this trip! We booked a private boat tour and saw whales, dolphins, and the most beautiful scenery. Our captain, Gary and his mate, Brandon gave the most amazing tour. They were so informative and kind. They even gave ideas to see once we left the tour. I am so glad we booked this trip!

Fabulous tour, entertaining, eye-popping and informative - What a fabulous tour! We loved our tour and even though it was the one-hour cliff tour we saw dolphins and loads of birds. Brendan entertained us with his commentary, and at the end, with a few songs accompanied by his accordian. We highly recommend Dingle Dolphin Tours, and for sure will do the longer versions next time!
