    Blanket Island boat tour

    Laura_H, Apr 2025
    The boat ride was a total experience! We saw amazing scenery, puffins, a seal colony, red deer and two BASKING SHARKS!! It was awesome! The ride was a little bumpy and I was soaked. To be honest my 7 and 10 yr old plus husband loved it, it scared the poop out of me a bit.

    It was a beautiful day for a boat ride. We saw Great Blasket Island up close, as well as the other Blasket islands. Our guide provided a lot of great information. We saw different types of sea birds. We also saw dolphins swimming and leaping close to the boat. We also learned about the geological history of the area.

    Annulé au dernier moment

    Christophe_T, Jul 2022
    Nous avons été contacté une heure avant l'heure de départ par la société que la sortie était annulée du fait que nous étions les seuls à avoir réservé... Nous avions réservé depuis plus de 3 semaines. Heureusement que nous avons trouvé une autre société pour faire un circuit équivalent le même jour car nous ne pouvions pas décaler.

    Hi Christophe, We are so disappointed to hear that you experienced a less than satisfactory encounter with us & we sincerely apologise for our cancellation of the trip. We did ring earlier in the morning to notify you of the possibility of the trip being cancelled. It's a shame that you couldn't enjoy one of our other trips that we offered you on the day, free of charge, as you couldn't make the rescheduled Eco Tour the following day. If you ever find yourself back in Dingle, please don't hesitate to hop on one of our Eco tours, free of charge, as a sign of our apologies.
