We had a private tour. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us plenty of time for photos, answered any questions. The scenery was stunning. We found the dingle cliffs to be as wonderful as the cliffs of Moher - not as high but they had more character.

This is real value for money. You see the whole coastline, sea caves, and then across to the Blasket Mor. It then moves on to Charlie Haughey’s island with the native red deer. All in all a great trip. Takes nearly three hours . The rib is brand new and you get a good adrenaline rush from the wave skimming. Do it !

The whole experience from start to finish was first class, the gear they give you is so warm and toastie, the boat is so comfy and I’ve never felt so safe at sea. David and Beatrice are full of knowledge of the local area and geology. You get everything on this tour , wildlife , fabulous scenery , history and such fun bouncing over the waves ! Private boat trip is ideal for small groups. My personal highlight of the trip was seeing Kerry’s real MVP Fungie, so magical for all ages! I’d definitely do this exact trip again when I go back to Dingle.

I come to Dingle every summer and the rib tour is was the most memorable experience I’ve had in Dingle to date! David and Beatrice were so welcoming and knowledgeable about the peninsula. The views were spectacular and the school of dolphins passing us by were an added bonus. Would definitely recommend as an activity with a group of friends. There’s so much to see and plenty of Instagram opportunities! :)

This tour is absolutely fantastic- the boat is amazing- great setup with very clean coats/ leggings and life jackets- the rib even has a toilet - Very well organised with hand sanitizer etc. Both David and Beatrice were amazing - From the minute we stepped on board it was a fabulous experience - we got to see Fungie - absolutely stunning scenery and we were brought into a cave- then we got a great view of the Blaskets and had alot of interested seals popping up their heads around us. The trip on the way back in was amazing and the colours of the landscape was just amazing from the water. Go raibh míle maith agat David don eolas iontach freisin!!! The tour is a must !!
