Breathtaking views of the blasket islands and the beautiful coastline! Dress warm waterproof. They give you waterproof pants and a jacket to put on top of your clothes. Size up for your jacket.The rib tour did feel like a kids roller coaster at times because of the weather but worth it. Very safe. They cancel if bad weather. Also wear a patch or take dramamine if you tend to get sea sick. We saw dolphins swimming alongside our boat and seals on the beach. Our captain explained the views and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Well worth the money

Best part of our trip around Ireland! It can feel a bit long/cold at times, but 1000% worth it. Our guide was amazing and knew exactly where to find dolphins, whales, seals, etc. Amazing!

Wonderful! All of our gear was provided. Dolphins, whales, puffins, tons of sea birds and the natural beauty of the Irish coast. Despite the rain, we had a once in a lifetime experience.

The view from the sea side is outstanding! We had driven along the coast the day before so we were able to recognize a couple of the stops we made during the drive.
Our captain was a great guide helping us see plentiful wildlife, from the dolphins to the puffins and much more.

Just an all around good time. Views you won’t see from the road. He had a problem with a second billing company we purchased the tour thru, the tour company helped fix an issue that arose and went out of their way

Highly recommend.
Natural beauty of this tour is unmatched.
Saw dolphins and seals. No whales, maybe next time.
Boat provides a mildly intense experience that our whole boat enjoyed. May be too intense for some.
Views that you can't experience elsewhere. Do it.

The wildlife tour was excellent and we received more than I expected. Plan to see lots of dolphins and minke whales as well as some beautiful cliffs carved by glaciers from our last ice age! This is a must do if you’re visiting Dingle. One thing I will note is that Viatour has this event starting at 9:30am… it does not. It starts at 9am. The vendor is working to get this corrected but this mistake happened to us and they were patient enough to wait for us before they departed. But please show up on the hour for all tours!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you kindly for the review. We say to our customers to be at the office for 9am so we can prepare you with extra Warm/ waterproof clothing and life Jackets. This is all stated in the confirmation email that you receive upon the booking.

The sights are stunning, especially for those who marvel at mind-boggling geologic features created by unimaginable forces. The beauty of the landscape speaks for itself. However, even though we live part time in Florida and see dolphins all the time, the thing that most stirred the emotions of everyone on board was our time spent cruising among the dolphins.

I had the best experience in Ireland so far and I’ve been living in here for six years now.
The staff were very friendly and patient with us as we were running late after trying to find a place to park the car.
Me and my friends recommend the Blasket Island Sea Life Rib Tour 1000x!!!
Daniel_S, Aug 2024
What an AMAZING experience! From the jagged coast line, the caves, the islands! Just amazing! Got to see a bunch of seals Puffins and dolphins as well. Words can’t describe how amazing this was! Well done!
Melissa_E, Jul 2024
Incredible views, great boat pilot, fun experience - highly recommend. Can be bumpy and wet but that’s part of the experience
Kathleen_V, Jul 2024
Amazing tour and an amazing company! Nathan called me two days before to let me know our trip was being canceled due to weather but offered a trip for the following day. We couldn’t make that so he offered a sooner trip. We had to do some rearranging, but got to the pier with a few minutes to spare. I am so glad we did! It was windy and overcast, but that did not impact our trip at all. Tremendous views of the cliffs, sea caves, dolphins, seals, puffins and a minke whale about two feet from the boat!! Overall, one of the best boat trips we have ever taken. Great trip for the money. Would recommend absolutely,
