A Must! - The Sea Safari is an absolute must if you're visiting Dingle! While you don’t get off on any of the islands, the big advantage is that you get to see so much in just a few hours. The boat slows down at key spots, giving plenty of time to take in the views and snap some amazing photos. We were lucky enough to spot plenty of dolphins, puffins, and even minke whales during our trip—it was truly unforgettable. Our guide was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting facts about the local sea life. There's a whole world out there you just can’t see from land. Highly recommended!

Don’t hesitate. Book it! - Absolutely amazing! Don’t hesitate. Book it! Our family loved this trip. The views were stunning. The guide/captain was kind, helpful, safe, and educational. Seeing the wildlife and coast from the boat was exciting. The straddle seats were comfortable. The ride was bumpy but not a big deal. The bumpiest parts were similar to riding in a bouncy truck or riding a bike down a really bumpy road or a bumpy trail. It was a nice day, but we were glad we wore layers and had a hat, gloves, and sunglasses. Without gloves your hands would freeze! It didn’t rain during our boat ride, but we were still glad for the waterproof pants and warm coats - but mostly for the wind protection / warmth. The clothing they provide is size inclusive. We had smaller and bigger folks in our group and the clothing fit all of them well. Coats go up to a 4x and the pants are elastic waisted and would easily fit a US size 26/28 in women’s or a size US 4 in women’s. One of our group didn’t want the provided jacket so they wore their layers (including a fleece) and a their own wind resistant light jacket over their own layers and were warm. The folks at the booth helping with clothing and life jackets are really kind. Seeing the dolphins, seals and puffins was so great! Other than holding and feeding a lamb on the Slea Head drive, this was our 12 year old’s favorite part of our trip!

Best Day Ever - Exceptional - amazing - exhilarating - all the adjectives are not enough to convey how cool this is.  Mikey was our guide and we got a mix of adrenaline filled rollercoaster ride on the RIB combined with exceptional bird and sealife stops, not to mention the historical angle or the geological wonders and spectacular places we were brought to.  We saw wales (6 in total), a pod of dolphins that played along with the RIB, seals and numerous birds. It was awesome.  Thanks a million Dingle Sea Safari, myself and my daughter had a ball, brilliant craic.  A great professional job and an experience that was unbelievable.  Kudos and a shout-out to Mikey too.

A full on experience that exceeded high expectations. From booking to rescheduling to the scenery and wildlife! - Wonderfully managed as we booked and rescheduled (due to the weather). All elements were ahead of expectation - fabulous boat and expert captain with helpful insights when needed. Beautiful scenery and an array of sealife.

Highly recommend! - This is a must if it is your first time in Dingle. A great way to see the peninsula from the water. We saw seals, dolphins, minky whales and puffins. You could not ask for more! The ride was fun but the waters were choppy because of the weather the past few days but the guide was excellent and very knowledgeable.

Must do Rib Experience in Dingle - Excellent experience with Connell. He was incredibly informative, safe Captain and gave us a terrific experience! We saw dolphins, whales, red deer and puffins. Well worth the time. The team had to cancel two weeks of trips due to weather. We got lucky and went out as the first group after the shutdown. The team was great getting us ready! Thank you for a fantastic experience.
