Dingle Sea Safari by RIB from Dingle Bay, fast and thrilling views of the peninsula and Blasket Islands, seals, dolphins, whales, and puffins in season.
“Fantastic excursion, unique. We saw whales and dolphins as well as the beautiful landscape. Unique experience.”
Kayak Dublin Bay from Bullock Harbour to Dalkey Island and meet friendly seals in a UNESCO biosphere. Gear included, 3 hours.
“Good idea to bring a spare change of clothes after. Philip, our kayak instructor, was amazing! Very knowledgeable about the natural and cultural history of the area.”
A half-day coastal hike from Howth with scones for breakfast, cliff views, forts, sea caves (tides permitting), and a big summit payoff.
“Sean was amazing. So full of knowledge and a really great storyteller. My kids just loved it - ages 12 and 16.”
2.5-hour RIB safari from Dingle Bay to Great Blasket Island, spotting seals and birds with warm waterproof gear.
“This is a MUST DO. Our favorite day in Ireland. Such gorgeous views, I felt like I was in another planet. Truly so exhilarating!!”
Private family boat safari from Dingle to Great Blasket Island for cliffs, dolphins, seals, and local stories guided by Captain Jimmy.
“Captain Jimmy was a wealth of information and shared local stories on our incredible boat ride. We saw seals, puffins, dolphins and a whale! Our whole family enjoyed this epic experience. We highly recommend Jimmy and Sea Safari!”
5-hour Howth coastal hike with scones, south-facing cliff views, secret coves, goat herd spotting, and a guided video memento.
“Nothing to improve …was very happy with what we were able to see and learn about!”
Hike through a Donegal bog with a small-group guide, learn peatland myths and climate role, and end with big Wild Atlantic Way views.
“I highly recommend taking the Bog Tour. Sharon shares wisdom, information and lore in a chatty and approachable manner. Plus you get to hike in a BOG! I was lucky to have Sharon to myself and relatively good weather. We met up with one of her neighbors out working in the big so got to see how the bog places a role in the daily lives of people still. It is a unique experience that I thoroughly enjoyed!”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
