About

Dingle's longest-running boat tour crew (est. 1987) runs guided sailings from Dingle Pier along the Wild Atlantic coast, from a one-hour harbour and cliffs hop to a four-hour wildlife hunt out in the bay. Trips look for dolphins, seals, whales and seabirds; sightings are never guaranteed.

Things to Do

Dingle Bay Cliff Tour (1 hour)

A one-hour loop around Dingle Harbour and the coastline, passing Eask Tower, Hussey's Folly, Sláidín Beach and Dingle Lighthouse while the crew share local history. Fully guided and family friendly, it is the easy taster trip.

Mini Eco Tour (2 hours)

A relaxed two-hour sail further out into Dingle Bay, taking in cliffs, sea caves and hidden corners with stories from the crew. Well suited to families with young children.

Mini Eco Tour (2 hours)

Blasket Islands Tour (3-3.5 hours)

Heads out past Slea Head for views of the Great Blasket Island from the water, past Ireland's largest grey seal colony. The boat does not land on the island; best for age 10 and over.

Blasket Islands Tour (3-3.5 hours)

Wildlife Tour (4 hours)

The longest trip, with no fixed route - the skipper follows the wildlife wherever it appears, giving the best chance of dolphins, minke and humpback whales, seals and seabirds. Best for age 12 and over.

Wildlife Tour (4 hours)

Private boat charter

One- and two-hour private hires of the whole boat for birthdays, hen and stag parties, family gatherings or bus tours, with your own skipper and room for your own music and drinks.

Watch the marine wildlife

Dingle Bay is one of Ireland's most biodiverse stretches of water. Look for bottlenose, common and Risso's dolphins, grey seals, minke and humpback whales, plus puffins and basking sharks in season - every day on the water is different.

Plan Your Visit

  • Parking: Paid parking at the marina car park by the pier - plenty in low season, often full in high season. Other options in town include parking by St Mary's Church, the mart and along the new road. Arrive at the office 30 minutes before departure and allow extra time for parking, especially in summer.
