Anna, our guide was a wealth of knowledge; not only with the history but also local wildlife. It was a good tour, not too long and not too short with much information and many wonderful views of cliffs, historical buildings and birds 🦅

During our week in Dingle, we booked the 1 hour cliff tour and the 2 hour eco tour. Both were fantastic ways to see the area and very reasonably priced. Both guides gave excellent local information while also letting us enjoy the views. We saw dolphins both times! The waves were a bit rocky during the longer ride farther out but we managed to get our sea legs. Highly recommend- very easy to book and they were very communicative with any changes due to weather conditions.

Didn't see a whale on our trip but plenty of dolphins. What I enjoyed most was learning about the landscapes and history as we toured the area, our guide was very well informed and kept our attention the entire time. Very fun, highly recommend

This tour was my favorite thing that I've done in Ireland so far! Our tour guide was so smart and had all the best stories and knowledge about the area, and the history and views were spectacular. It was a very stable boat with lots of seating. Definitely feel confident on taking this excellent tour!

It was incredible! We saw bottle nosed and common dolphines as well as a minky whale in the distance. The cliffs also looked awesome. Definitely recommend!
