    This tour is awesome! The views, landscapes, and sea life and indescribable. None of my pictures do it any justice - so you will have to trust me and just go!! This tour was one of the best things I have done in Ireland. Decklan was driver/guide and he was fun and informative. The staff at Dingle Boat Tours was wonderful. Viator was so easy yo book through and I have never had an issue - my name was on every list and all the instructions were true!

    Cancelled. Evidently happens fairly frequently. They mentioned they’d tried to get a hold of me but I didn’t know until departure time. Remain flexible.
