The Dingle Sea Safari was awesome! Our captain Mikey was truly the best!!! He was knowledgeable of the area and his love of the island! We were lucky enough to see the humpback whale sighting of the season, lots of dolphins and the herds of seals were fantastic!!!

This excursion from start to finish was great! At arrival, several staff members are available to greet you and prepare you for your trip. The boat ride itself was beautiful. We were lucky enough to sit and watch a family of bottlenose dolphins play around our boat. We saw seals and another group of common dolphins as well. Collin our guide was informative, entertaining and skilled at maneuvering the boat. This was a great experience that we hope to do again some day!

Can we get refunded, please? This tour was cancelled on us by the tour group due to weather conditions. We were very disappointed, but understand because it was for our safety. We would like a full refund, please and thank you in advance. We thought we would be refunded by now.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Ariel, we apologise about the tour being cancelled. Unfortunately the sea conditions are out of our control and our customers safety is our top priority.

Can you please email us - dingleseasafari@gmail.com to confirm your booking and we will ensure a full refund is issued. It takes up to 28 days for a refund to be processed.

Rugged but worth it. Saw whales breaching and seals. Water and weather on chilly side but we were supplies with waterproof pants and jackets.

The highlight of our trip to Ireland. Such a wonderful day. The scenery that you are able to reach via the boat is something few get to experience. Dolphins along the boat looking over Irish country side was a once in a lifetime experience.

A must-do excursion while in southwest Ireland!!! The cliffs! The puffins! The dolphins! The jellyfish! The Minke whale! We had the BEST time. Our captain, Cain, was very kind, fun, and very knowledgeable.

Such a great experience! Incredible views and fun time on the rib boat. We saw puffins, whales, and even had dolphins swim right next to our boat. The cliffs around Dingle were amazing to see up close as well.
Marc_T, Jul 2026
What a super outing. You might get a little wet and the ride can get bumpy, but it’s a fantastic time. Our guide, Mikey, was the best.
Susan_K, Jun 2026

Seamus was a great driver and narrator throughout. Only suggestion would be more time in the little towns we visited. We had a great time and we highly recommend the tour. Thanks Seamus!

Absolutely perfect day on the water. We lucked out with the weather. The Atlantic was relatively calm but there were still swells. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took extra time to make sure we had a great experience. The water proof jacket and pants were needed even on a sunny warm day. We saw: puffins, seals, dolphins, minkey female whale and her calf as well as other birds. Brilliant trip.
Sheilagh_R, May 2026
Kevin was very knowledgeable and told us interesting stories about Dingle and the Blasket Islands. Gorgeous scenery and wildlife. I highly recommend this tour if you are in the area.
Matthew_C, May 2026
Best excursion I’ve ever been on! Would recommend to anyone going to this area. Tour guide was excellent
Marji_T, Apr 2026
What a fun day, we saw seals, dolphins, puffins , beautiful rock formations and learned some history of the area. Mike our guide was awesome!
Sarah_O, Mar 2026
Awesome. So fun to see Ireland from the water! Loved tucking into coves and seeing the water wildlife
Kim_B, Nov 2025
After getting all the best gear on shore, we were on one of the last boats to head out this season and we were in for a treat. We spotted a pod of 25-30 dolphins, the captain said the largest he'd ever seen. We were amongst them for a good 20 mins. Then on to the cove and then visit the islands and the beach of seals. We spotted another much smaller pod of a different type of dolphins on our way back in. A fantastic excursion!
Anna_R, Oct 2025
We loved this tour! Mikey was a great guide— very knowledgable and made sure to seek out wildlife for our group. We got to see seals, dolphins, whales, and bluefin tuna. Unforgettable experience!
Laurie_D, Oct 2025
The staff was amazing. We were able to find lots of seals and dolphins and one whale. The seats on boat are not that comfortable and you have to straddle them for three hours. You spend about 1 hour actually seeing stuff and two hours driving over rocky seas. Even if you don't normally get sea sick be prepared you could.
Kayleen_I, Aug 2025
This was a great experience. The reviews were good and the trip did not disappoint. We saw dolphins, a whale, puffins, and a lot of amazing sites. I recommend the Sea Safari trip. It will not disappoint.
Ursula_K, Aug 2025
What a wonderful experience! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I recommend this company because they loan you warm, dry outerwear for the ride. The captain was very knowledgeable and we were extremely lucky to come upon a feeding frenzy of whales and dolphins! Couldn’t recommend it more!
Jennifer_H, Jul 2025
An absolutely exhilarating experience—not for the faint-hearted! The high-speed boat ride adds a thrilling element to the incredible sights. We were lucky enough to see whales, dolphins, puffins, and seals up close in their natural habitat. Viewing the majestic cliffs from ocean level is truly awe-inspiring. A must-do adventure if you're visiting Dingle and want an unforgettable wildlife and coastal experience!
Ian_W, Jul 2025
Amazing experience, so much fun, everyone on the rib having huge smiles on thier faces for the whole 3 hrs we were out watching whales , dolphins and other wildlife. Dave our captain was very informative with humour thrown in for good measure. This may sound expensive at €100pp but it’s worth every penny and more.
Emma_C, Jul 2025

Our guide was amazing both with information and his ability to cut the boat thru the Wild Atlantic like butter! We saw so much sea life and the Puffins were my favorite!
laynie_w, Jun 2025
Wonderful experience! Callum is a fabulous guide and took us to see many great sights! We were able to see bottle nosed dolphins, minke whales, seals, and puffins. I told everyone I met while in Dingle that it was a must to do!

The weather was going to be bad so they were able to get us in a day early. We saw dolphins, sharks and puffins. Our driver OConnell was very good.
It did rain on our ride good to wear warm clothes and they provided waterproof warm clothing also
