Dingle Bay Dolphin & Wildlife Boat Tour
Dingle, Ireland
About This Activity
Dingle Bay is home to a resident pod of bottlenose dolphins, grey seals, and diverse seabird populations. Dingle Dolphin Boat Tours runs 1-hour guided excursions from Dingle pier with naturalist commentary on local marine life and the peninsula's coastline. Note: Fungie, the famous solitary dolphin who lived in Dingle Bay for 37 years, disappeared in October 2020 and is presumed dead; today's tours look for the wild dolphin pod and other marine wildlife.
Seasonal note: Best Apr–Oct; weather-dependent year-round
