A high-speed RIB adventure along the Dingle Peninsula's dramatic coastline — race past sea cliffs, seals, and the Great Blasket Islands on TripAdvisor's #1-rated tour in Dingle.
Climb aboard a rigid inflatable boat and grip tight for a 2.5–3 hour blast along Dingle Bay. The fleet of five RIBs — named Adrenaline, Experience, Endevour, Mr B, and Lochlann — cruise at up to 25 knots past towering cliffs, hidden coves and sea caves. Waterproof gear is provided; bring warm layers and a hat. Minimum age 9 (130cm height on standard tours; 132cm on the enclosed Bespoke RIB).
The tour rounds the Blasket Islands — Ireland's westernmost point, abandoned since 1953. You'll get close to one of Ireland's largest grey seal colonies, with up to 1,000 seals hauling out on the rocky shores. The skipper shares stories of the islands' Gaelic literary heritage as you bob beside these uninhabited outposts.
Dolphins ride the bow wake year-round. Puffins nest on the outer Blaskets from March to July. Minke and humpback whales are spotted most often between June and October. You may also see basking sharks in early summer, plus Arctic terns, Manx shearwaters, and even red deer on the island slopes.
The route takes you into West Kerry's sea caves and past the sheer rock faces of Slea Head. You'll see the dramatic shores that stood in for Luke Skywalker's hideaway planet in Star Wars: The Last Jedi — one more reason to keep your camera ready.
