Overview

Dingle Sea Safari has been voted the number one activity on the Dingle Peninsula. Our RIB boat takes you right along the wild coastline and out to the Blasket Islands, giving you an up close view of towering rock formations, hidden sea caves, and the iconic Slea Head landscape most visitors only glimpse from a distance.It's personal and immersive, with plenty of chances to interact with your captain.

Wildlife is a big part of the trip. Depending on the season you might spot seals, puffins, dolphins, minke whales, and even red deer along the cliffs. Our experienced captains bring the coast to life with local history and geology.

Founded in 2018 by lifelong local Dingle man Jimmy Flannery, who spent 37 years on these waters (including years showing visitors Fungie the dolphin), we're a genuine family business built on respect for the sea and this coastline.

Fast, thrilling, and full of things to see, this is often the highlight of a Dingle visit.

    Q: Will I get seasick on Dingle Sea Safari – Rib boat tour in Dingle Bay?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
