Speed out into Dingle Bay aboard a rigid inflatable to circle the uninhabited Great Blasket Island — Ireland's most remote outpost — spotting dolphins, grey seals, puffins and basking sharks in their wild Atlantic habitat.
What to expect
From Dingle Marina your skipper threads through the harbour, where Atlantic bottlenose dolphins often ride the bow wave within minutes. Rounding Slea Head, the sheer flanks of the Blasket Islands rise from the sea; seals haul out on wave-polished rocks just metres away. The crew share the haunting story of the island's last inhabitants, evacuated in 1953, as you drift past the ruins of the village.
Good to know
Tours depart from Dingle Marina, a short walk from the pier. Wear warm, waterproof layers — even in summer. Pre-book online; sailings are weather-dependent so keep the all-aboard time in mind and choose an early slot.
