  If you get chance, take this adventure! It’s fab. The Blasket is amazing and nearly overshadowed by the brilliant sea journey. The crew are brilliant, made everyone feel welcome and went the extra nautical mile to show us all the Atlantic Ocean wildlife possible! I will certainly be making a return visit …. I’m hooked!

• Great Blasket Island experience.

  Amazing experience. Great organisation for our tour. Knowledgeable Captain and guide. Saw a Minke whale, Dolphins, huge Gnats and on the island Sea Lions swimming and sunbathing. Lovely bush walks on the island. Well worth doing.

  This was absolutely on the top 5 of any excursion we have taking. Billy and Chris were awesome!! We saw seals, dolphins, humpback whales, puffins, so many other birds, the list is endless. They truly went above and beyond! They were both so informative, patient and kind. We hiked and it truly is a beautiful, peaceful place. It was an epic hike. We highly recommend this experience and when back in Ireland we will definitely do it again. Thank you for a magnificent, memorable day!!!!

  Billy and his team were wonderful and real professionals! The weather was not the best but we had a great time. If I ever make it back I will use this tour again!

  The boat captain, Billy, and the first mate, Chris, both made us feel welcome and confident they would do all in their power to ensure we fully enjoyed our trip. They explained how we would get to our destination, Great Blasket Island, and what to expect as far as water and weather. Then the tour commenced. They described the history of Dingle and the bay as we headed out. Then we stopped outside the bay to see us some unusual geological features and caves in the cliffs. They discussed the wildlife we could expect to see during the day and we did see an assortment of seabirds, several dolphins and a large pod of gray seals. Once at Great Blasket Island we were given vouchers for a beverage on the island and a map describing the trails and buildings. Chris gave us an overview of what trails would be most appropriate for each level of hiker/walker and he told us where to meet up with a free guide, as well as where to find the cafe and bathrooms. We had several hours to listen to the guide’s presentation about the history of the former residents and to explore. The weather was warm and sunny and we had a wonderful day watching sheep, walking the trails, gazing over the cliffs, admiring the view of islands around us and seal watching. On the return trip Billy and Chris took us to the best spots to see puffins, cormorants and other seabirds and, eventually, to see a pod of 50 or more feeding dolphins. They were great fun to watch. They arched out of the water in threes and fours, diving for food, passing under the boat and swimming all around is, zig-zagging back and forth. Finally, we were taken to a jagged island created by an ancient volcanic eruption millennia ago. This was a great trip with an awesome crew. My husband and I would do this again and I heartily recommend the trip to others!
