Tessa
Amazing activity! So enjoyed seeing the beautiful Dingle peninsula and Blasket islands from a different perspective. Wonderfully informative guide to give all the details of the area, it's history and some interesting stories of the sites. Got to see dolphins and seals, so cool! Despite it being quite a rainy afternoon, the transport was great and it was a really worthwhile trip. Definitely include this in your itinerary for the next time you are down in Dingle

Absolutely excellent experience. Did the full day tour, including exploring the Blasket Island. The scenery, wildlife, Puffins, Dolphins, Seals and more was just amazing. Jonathan and Vincent were absolutely excellent and made the experience even better. Hugely recommended.
Nicola
We had an amazing trip with Vincent and John. We were lucky enough to see a killer whale as well as several dolphins and seals on the beach at Blasket Island. Both John and Vincent were extremely knowledgeable and friendly and even let the kiddies sit on the captains chair which they loved. Would highly recommend this tour and we will definitely be back!
Marie
I did the 7hr tour with a chance to explore the great Blasket island and it was fantastic! Jonathan and Vincent are a great team and we were lucky enough to see puffins, seals, dolphins, a minke whale and two humpback whales. What a day! A must-do for wildlife enthusiasts!
Lacey
Definitely recommend the eco tour+whale watching trip if you have a day where you need something to do! The blasket Islands were amazing and the cliffs around were breathtaking. we saw quite a few minke whales, a few kinds of dolphins, seals and puffins along with some other sea birds. Our guide was very knowledgeable and it was overall my favorite day spent on my trip in Ireland. Highly recommend
Michelle
We booked this tour hoping to see wildlife but got so much more. Vincent was an excellent captain and our eco guide Jonathan was extremely knowledgable. Their respect for the sea and her inhabitants was obvious. We were lucky to have a beautiful day with sightings of several species including, albeit briefly, a minke whale. The hike on Blasket Island was well worth the time as the views were spectacular but the highlight of the trip for us were the rock formations and sea caves. Truly magnificent.
